Sailboat Stay • Marina Pools • Sleeps 4 • Stock Island, Key West

"Watched the stars and woke up to the calm sound of water gently hitting the hull." That's what guests say about Susquehanna, our Hunter 380 sailboat docked at Perry Hotel and Marina, 15 minutes from Old Town Key West. Mornings start with sunrise from the cockpit, evenings end with stargazing on deck. Sleeps four: aft Captain's cabin with full-to-queen berth, V-berth for two more. Two marina pools, free shuttle to Key West, and 20% off at Bad Boy Taco Bar when you mention Susquehanna.

Our Hunter 380 sailboat is docked at Perry Hotel and Marina on Stock Island. The marina has two pools with poolside dining, a 24-hour gym, restaurants, and bathhouse showers a short walk from the dock. The boat itself runs on full air conditioning and WIFI, an on-the-water stay with the comforts of land.

Susquehanna sleeps four across two cabins. Steps from the cockpit leads down into the cabin space. The aft Captain's cabin is a walkthrough beam-to-beam stateroom, equipped with a full-to-queen berth and an ensuite head. The V-berth at the bow sleeps two more guests. Between the two cabins, the main saloon is the social hub with seating for six, a TV, and a sound system. To the starboard sits the galley (kitchen) and a second head and shower to the port side.

Drive right up to the slip, step onto the floating pontoon, and walk down a few steps into the cabin. From the dock, two pools with poolside service sit a short walk away, on-site restaurants and bars are open through the day, and the free shuttle to Old Town runs throughout.

GUEST ACCESS

Guests have full use of Susquehanna and all marina and hotel facilities: the two pools, 24-hour gym, on-site restaurants and bars, bathhouse showers, laundry, and the free shuttle to Old Town Key West throughout the day. On arrival you'll be greeted at the boat by our co-host, Tanya, who does a full meet-and-greet and walks you through everything you need to know about the boat, including how to use the marine toilet.

The resort's complimentary shuttle to Old Town Key West leaves from the hotel main entrance hourly on the hour and returns on the half hour, up until around 10:30 PM. Uber also operates in the area with short wait times.

Our co host Tanya will meet you at the marina guide you to the boat and go over all of the information that you’ll need for your stay. Tessa actually lives on Coconut Row so is always available should any situations arise.

Good to Know Before You Book

•Susquehanna is a real, working sailboat, and that's the whole appeal, but she does live a little differently from a house or hotel, so we'd rather you know before you book:
•She has a few classic boat quirks. Water pumps are louder than a household faucet, ropes can creak, and even in the sheltered marina you'll feel a gentle rock now and then. For most guests, that's the magic of sleeping on the water.
•The bathroom has a marine toilet with a hand pump rather than a standard flush. Tanya shows you how it works at check-in, and there are simple step-by-step instructions in your welcome guide.
•The onboard shower is compact, and there are full-size bathhouse showers a short stroll down the dock.
•Getting aboard means a step up onto a floating dock and then down a few steps into the cabin, so she isn't suited to guests with mobility limitations.

STAY RULES
•Check-in 3-6 PM, checkout 10 AM
•4 guests max
•No pets

FAQ's

•This is a fully functional sailboat, accessed by steps up from a floating pontoon and then down a few steps into the cabin area - not suitable for guests with mobility issues.
•Boats are not for everyone. The ropes may creak, the water pumps are louder than a normal faucet, and although the marina is sheltered, the boat may rock slightly.
•The toilet is a marine toilet with a manual pump and connects to a holding tank. Please follow the welcome guide instructions for proper use - overfilling the holding tank can cause odors and backups.
•The onboard shower is compact. Marina bathhouse showers are a short walk from the slip and open to guests anytime.
•Hot water needs to be switched on at the panel - instructions are in the welcome pack sent before arrival.
•The free shuttle to Old Town Key West runs throughout the day and back, about 15 minutes each way.
•Professional cleaning between every stay.
