Guest Access
Two of the best restaurants on Stock Island are only steps away. This is a fishing marina. You will be able to buy fresh fish from the market or catch your own, with a proper Florida fishing License.
My goal is to help you enjoy your stay in Key West. If it's water activities, I'm your man. If you only need some guide service, no problem. A Captain or crew will be in touch with you on day of arrival. You will have my or crews cell phone number and can call with questions.
Many times questions arrive about charters, day trips, fishing and diving.. VRBO ;does not allow me to give you contact information. Until after booked, so messages must suffice until then.
The Neighborhood
We are in Stock Island out of the hustle/bustle of Duval Street. We have great restaurants and a lot of boats. Most commercial fishing still comes out of this area. If you want to buy fresh fish right off the boat, this is the area.
Getting Around
Adequate taxi, Huber, Lyft and city bus service. All close by. Taxis usually arrive within minutes.

The boat was clean, everything was operational, and amenities were close by. It's docked right next to The Docks restaurant, which was phenomenal. The location was great with only a short 10 minute ride into key west. 10/10 would come stay here again!
It was just as advertised! It worked great for my family.
The boat was exactly as described. It was a perfect location for our adventures into Key West. We were only 0.4 mile from the public bus stop - which we caught several days. Also never waited more than a few minutes when we took Uber. We ate at The Docks and Hogfish - both very close by. And at El Siboney, a Cuban restaurant about 0.7 miles away. Two nights we lounged on the bow of the boat after sunset and enjoyed musicians playing at The Docks. Someone in a previous review commented about the neighborhood. It is a working marina neighborhood - not condos or luxury resorts. However we walked through the neighborhood to the bus stop and Dions Quik stop several times and always felt safe. We are 60+ backpackers who prefer this type of unique stay. I would not recommend for anyone expecting luxury accommodations or with mobility issues.
Ralph was wonderful in checking us in and showing us the boat. The marina is great and cozy with great food spots nearby where the locals gather to eat (so you know the food is great!). The boat is older, so if you really need luxury/modern comfort this may not be for you. If you're looking for something different, off the beaten path, with short distance/cheap Uber ride to downtown, this is it!
Neighborhood wasn’t great. Boat is very old. Beds were hard. We only stayed one night, it was ok for one night…..
Our stay was awesome, it was exactly what we expected. It's in a great spot, would definitely recommend it to a friend!
Call properly owner and checked out after one night due to allergies
The marina was beautiful as well as all available amenities. Transportation (included) was available from the hotel on property to Key West (downtown and Higgs Beach.) The charter boat accommodations would be great for a bunch of guys to stay in. The ladies might think it is somewhat tired, requiring nicer touches. The boat sleeps 6, but I would not suggest for a family. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
The host was very nice and easy to communicate with. This boat is perfect for a guys trip is the plan is fishing and sleeping. Otherwise I would not recommend for multiple couples or even a romantic getaway. The Marina is beautiful with great amenities but be prepared for a rustic fish camp kind of stay when you chose this boat.
We knew going in that this was a boat… basically an older camper on the water where you can’t flush toilet paper and it’s tighter quarters than a hotel. I’ve seen some reviews here where I wonder if they read the description fully… but since this is what we wanted this was absolutely perfect. The host is great and very accommodating and responsive. This boat made our trip memorable and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for this experience. The location is great too, the hotel is right there with a pool and bar and the marina has cute little shops that fit about anything you can need.
