A Cozy And Classic Hatteras 43' Yacht In One Of The Best James River Locations

Such a cool fun stay. Captain Ron is so friendly and accommodating. Really cool stay for kids!

Fun unique experience to spend time on a yacht on the James River. A lot of US history where part of the confederate war was staged. Captain Ron could not be a better host.

Great alternative to a house or hotel

What an amazing and unique experience. We had great weather, which allowed us a lot of time outside on the boat. The bed is very comfortable and the furnishings are super cute. Ron is incredibly generous and communicative, would definitely recommend!

Wonderful escape. It’s so peaceful and calming watching the sunset on the bow. Great communication with Captain Ron.

Quaint, quiet, and cozy. Clean. Just what was wanted for a few quiet days.

This was our second time staying here. Such a peaceful evening on the water. The A/C made for a cool night of sleep after an unseasonably warm day.

Very nice stay! Awesome host and quiet neighborhood! Thank you!

Ron was a generous and gracious host in greeting us and showing us around.

This was a nice get away for my husband, me and our two dogs. The marina is inside a gated community in a nice area of Richmond, about 30min drive downtown with lots to do locally. We would love to stay again next time we are in town, the river is so peaceful and relaxing.

2nd time staying at this property and definitely won’t be the last! Amazing location and great host.

Really neat experience. Beautiful sunset! The owner met us there and showed us on the boat for a tour. Even offered to let us use the “party” deck on their other boat a couple slips away. Super nice couple. The interior had a warm and cozy vibe. Fast internet. I have not one complaint.

Safe, clean, quiet, and as described. We were a family of four. While the boat definitely sleeps four, I wouldn't recommend staying there with four, at least in the summer. The amount of space itself wasn't an issue, but with four people on board it was unmanageably warm, even with the AC unit and fan running. We had hoped to hang out on the boat having family time, but it was so warm on board we ended up having to find things to do off the boat from about 9 am to 9 pm each day. It was OK for sleeping, and the kitchen and bathroom were workable (small and rustic, as we anticipated, but quite functional).

This site should be removed. Totally inaccurate descriptions. Stayed only one night out of three.

Captain Ron is absolutely the most wonderful host. It is an older boat with a retro 70s style! That is where the charm is for me! Any issues with being an older boat are way out-weighed by the charm of the boat, the beautiful natural area and a wonderful and interesting host! Sitting on the front of that boat, looking out across the water, the rest of the world melts away! I would say if you are a larger sized person, you would have difficulty getting up and down the stairs to the different levels and out to the front of the boat to enjoy the front deck.

Thank you for an amazing and peaceful experience

What an amazing place to go and relax and forget all the hustle and bustle of life. Ron is a wonderful host and friend!!!

The setting was the appeal; a first for us on a yacht. The river, surrounding peaceful setting, and my first time hearing 2 owls and seeing one cross the river in response. Host Capt Ron was so hospitable and personable, relating stories of special interest. Just what we were looking for.

Capt Ron was an excellent host. He made sure to walk us around the boat and answered all of our questions. We saw two amazing sunsets and the morning hours were so peaceful while sipping coffee. Great get away. We highly recommend at stay!!

Wife and I were in town for a wedding. We decided to try something different and it did not disappoint!

So relaxing and peaceful-just as advertised. I checked in late and Captain Ron was there to greet me and was so helpful and friendly. Keep in mind, this is an old boat on the water so don’t expect resort accommodations which was perfectly fine by me. My little dogs loved exploring the docks and woods nearby. I plan to return soon and try out Captain Ron’s other boat.

Beautiful property on the James river. One of our favorites spots to go for privacy and to catch some nice catfish. My son loves that we are staying on a an actual boat and that all we have to do is wake up and walk upstairs to go fishing. The boat has had some very nice recent upgrades and is always very clean. Captain Ron is always a pleasure to work with and speak to. Can't wait until this time next year!

If you are looking for peace, quiet and beauty...this is your stay. The only sounds come from the water or the sky. It is a secure location that provides just one more level of separation of the real world. There are plenty of places for those who want to go out int he world. Within 5 minutes there is food, within 10 minutes there are restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, the life of Richmond is within 30 minutes. I will stay again if we are ever here again! Captain Ron is a delight and more than hospitable.

We had a lovely time . The houseboat was exactly as advertised. We had everything we needed to have a great time and Captain Dan was wonderful and very helpful.

This was the most fun vacation we have ever taken. Captain Ron became a great friend. His life story is amazing. The Ship Copy of the book he authored was very amazing and my husband, especially, seemed to identify with him in many ways. We met some of his family, who we just fell in love with. We fished, watched beautiful sunsets, took hundreds of pictures, and enjoyed the beauty of the Yacht. My husband is a retired U.S. Navy Chief, and he relived his time as sea with his own stories relayed to Captain Ron. We were so thrilled to finally find a place that did not charge for pets. We have four long hair chihuahuas who don't appreciate us leaving them behind. Thank you, Ron, for allowing us to bring our 4 pets. We look forward to many, many trips back to this yacht and to reconnect with the Captain!
