I was in need of a staycation and creative retreat in Seattle, and Ruby provided the perfect getaway. Everything from the way the boat is laid out, to the location made my stay amazing. It's located on Westlake, right off of a great walking and biking path leading to South Lake Union, downtown Seattle, Fremont and other great neighborhoods. The best part of Ruby are all of the amazing and thoughtful details Kristin and Marcus put into this boat, such as plenty of provided art supplies, a small and interesting book/magazine collection, a pair of comfy anchor-decorated slippers, high-end coffee and chocolate, and well-placed and thoughtful decorations. Ruby's layout made me feel like I was in a much bigger space than I was. I enjoyed having a drink looking out at the marina from the deck, eating meals in the mid-century styled kitchen and seating area. One of my personal favorite things about this experience was using the pilot house as an office with the perfect "standing desk" looking out on the marina. The wifi works great, so it's an ideal place to "work from boat." I also loved the cozy bed in the bow (front) of the boat. It made sleeping with the waves' gentle rocking incredibly restful. Overall, my stay on Ruby was an inspiring experience and I can't wait to take refuge there again.
A couple of recommendations: download the postmates app to order food delivery from local restaurants to the marina, and rent a bike to ride along the water and into South Lake Union and Downtown if you don't already have one.
