Boat holiday rentals in Southern United States

We had an amazing time aboard the Zep Tepi! The boat is beautiful and spacious and the marina and setting are lovely! If you want to really get away and experience sleeping with the peaceful rocking of a boat, book this now! Chelsea was responsive and helpful as we got used to the workings of a boat too.

Just as the previous reviews state, Rob was tremendous in every single aspect. He is especially great with communication and is incredibly thoughtful and accommodating with bottled water and he provided a treat in the form of Charleston wafers, which my family loved. Rob even check-in with us to see how things were going along the way. I was initially concerned about how comfortable my family of five would be, but Rob reassured me that we would be fine and I’m happy to report he was right. To give you an idea I’m 6’3” 300lbs, my wife is 6 foot, my oldest is also 6’3”, the other two aren’t a big concern YET anyway with respect to height and weight. We all slept comfortably and had fun diving into nightly movies from his movie collection on-board to avoid the heat. We had an awesome experience on The First Lite and hope you will too. Thank you so much Rob for sharing your vessel with us to build on our family memories.

Steve is such a nice guy! He is quick to respond if you have questions, and we had some good conversations about the local area. The boat is gorgeous! This is such a unique place to stay. We enjoyed dolphin watching with our morning coffee and exploring the different parts of the boat. We usually struggle to find accommodations for our family of 5, but this was perfect; we could have even brought a friend and still felt comfortable. There are multiple bathrooms and a great kitchen area.

Loved our stay. I unique way to stay in Charleston. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time on the boat. It is definitely best described as glamping but with everything you need and the bonus of air con, refrigerator and small freezer, microwave and TV. it was lovely sitting out on the boat. The marina is very well kept, great heated pool and restaurant. we saw dolphins and gators walking around the marina. the only negatives were the odd smell on the boat (musty smell) and the on board toilets (which were also very smelly) - however the marina have a nice shower/toilet block and very short walk from the boat. Charlie was very attentive and the cakes, milk and bottled water was much appreciated.

The location is great, the quality of the boat and everything was also great. The charter experience was very cool as well. Just ensure you are able to check in before 5pm as it can cause issues.

This space looked like it did in the pics per the listing. My favorite part of my trip was the bed and the communication lol David and Angela were so nice and they were easy to reach. The boat was beautiful though and like I said, the bed...between that and the waves...I slept SO well! It was a great experience. I’ve already recommended to friends and family and I would definitely go again!

One of my favorite Airbnb experiences. Captain Ron is as cool a person as it gets! Really enjoyed meeting him and loved getting to experience living in this retro yacht! I definitely want to book his other yachts in the future. Thank you Captain Ron! ~the Melissas

One of the best solo adventures I’ve ever had! The sailboat was absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and super cozy! Chris welcomed me so warmly and made everything super easy, showing me how to use the dinghy (which was fun and simple) and giving clear instructions for the boat. I spent an amazing evening reading my book with a cup of tea while watching the sunset, pure peacefulness. The kitchen is easy to use, but be sure to ask about the gas setup just in case. Chris was always available and incredibly kind and helpful throughout my stay. I loved using the paddle board! The weather was perfect, and the people around were lovely. There’s even a grill you can use anytime. Check-out was just as smooth as check-in. Chris and Susan truly love what they do, and it shows in every detail. I’m so grateful for this peaceful, unforgettable experience. Thank you so much! God bless, and I hope to return very soon! ⛵🌞🌅

Our stay in Jupiter was great. Location on the water gave us opportunity to fish off the rental and soak up some sun. Walking distance to waterfront restaurants and close to the beach/inlet. Our fishing charter even picked us up at the houseboat. Overall, we had a great experience.

Dennis was more than hospitable. Periodic showers come through in Florida regularly and he was always attentive if we needed extra towels to dry the boat. He even brought out fishing rags for my husband to use. This was a trial to see if we would like to houseboat part-time in retirement. The verdict was a definitive YES!

Alejandro is a kind, patient, ad responsive host. My 2-night stay on his boat was tranquil as I was lulled to sleep by the waves. The view of the Miami sunset and skyline at night is breathtaking. If I return to Miami, I will be sure to stay here again. Thank you for such a great stay!

Why sleep in a hotel , when u can sleep on a boat? It was in a great location with convenient parking on the island in Ft Pierce. Close to everythin in the area. Comfortable beds. Ice cold air. Great water pr... Date of experience: May 2025

Kurtis was a great host. He helped us out several times and offered the use of his kayaks, which we used several times. We enjoyed a fun snorkling expedition with him as well. He is very knowledgable. We also spent a night in another of his Airbnbs, a room at his house that was very comfortable. Overall it was a great experience staying on his boat!

Words cannot describe how awesome this experience was for our family of 3!! You will be disappointed if you do not take the yacht out to the cove for two nights. As a family, we do not give gifts, we take adventures, and this is BY FAR THE BEST one yet!!!! My son is 28 and special needs and had absolutely no problems on the yacht. The kayaks were awesome to take out in the cove. We planned it so we would be able to watch the Blue Angles practice over the water and that was worth it right there! Vance and Kristi were awesome hosts!! We had car trouble, which caused us to be delayed a while, and they were very flexible with the entire trip! The yacht is set up with everything you will need but your food if you go out. The yacht has a gas grill outside and everything in the galley you need to cook! We fished, swam, watched fish and other aquatics, and even had a sandbar to use in the cove! Amazing yacht with even more amazing owners!!! You have got to try this!!! You will not regret it!!

Such a memorable stay from the scenic view to saying on a boat. My husband & I spent our honeymoon at Diane’s place and it exceeded our expectations. Diane was very responsive and always made sure we were accommodated comfortably. We can’t wait to come back to the outer banks and relax here again.

I take my son and grandsons (ages 11 nd 8) on an annual Father's Day weekend trip and, this year, I chose to stay on this boat in Carolina Beach. Of note during our stay, the hosts were incredible! Tarah and Joel exceeded (in a good way) every experience I've ever had with hosts. They went beyond expectations to make our stay memorable and they suceeded. The boat itself was exactly as described and shown in the pictures. We've have stayed on boat of this size before and found this one to be very clean and comforatble. Obviously, being a boat, spaces are tight and functional, just like they should be. If you think that you would enjoy living on a boat, I highly recommend staying with Tarah and Joel on this boat.

Ron was a great host— communication was easy, he was super responsive and had good local recommendations. The catamaran was spotless and well outfitted. It was clear Ron cared about the boat and took pride in it. Our stay was comfortable and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Great host, in every way! Cute, quaint, lovely place to enjoy quiet for two people, but also close to action if you want it. Can’t wait to stay again in a few months.

This is such a nice place to stay truly! It was peaceful, I wish we had time to use the kayaks or charter a boat ride but the boat was perfect nonetheless. It was pretty cold at night but it warmed up quickly in the morning once all that sun started to come in. The extra blankets and the smart TV was night to relax and watch a movie. I will definitely be rebooking in the future, hosts were super kind and helpful (:

A new, fun and unique experience for both of us. Waking distance to historic Saint Augustine and SA Fish Camp. Very private and quiet and loved sitting outside on deck in the morning drinking our coffee. It was also very nice sitting out in the evenings watching the sun set. Chris was exceptionally responsive to every question we had about the boat and the area. I loved the fact coffee and bottled water were provided for us so we had no need to run to the store to purchase. Plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioner, body soap and toilet paper as well.

A wonderful experience! We enjoyed our week on the Yacht, "Comfortably Numb". The Host was exceptional. Keliy, was very clear and attentive. She recommended bike rentals, local attractions, beach location, and views from the deck. The place smelled fresh and clean. The indoor temperature was cool. The humidity was controlled. We loved the bean bag seats to watch the sunrise and sunsets from the deck. The indoor accommodations was very large, roomy, and comfortable. We plan to reserve this place again in the future. We learned alot since we are are planning to purchase a yacht for full time living and charter boat fishing. Keliy was a sweetheart with engaging communication as we asked lots about boating questions. Our first visit to The Keys was amazing. Thank you! Janice Correa & Captain Bernie Kohler

It is hard to put into words how surreal it is vacationing on Mikes yacht. If anyone is thinking about booking and reading this, just go for it. The yacht, Turtle IV, is the most well maintained and cared for boat we have ever been on. Ever square inch is perfectly cleaned and maintained. Sipping morning coffee on the top deck, floating on the water in a yacht , is something everyone needs to experience. You will not find a better host on Airbnb or VRBO, hands down. I took my wife, as a surprise, for our 10 year anniversary. Mike had flowers and chilled champagne for us as we walked in for the tour. My wife and I have been and stayed all over, this is the best host you will ever get. 10/10 on everything, I cannot wait to do it again

What a great little spot to get out of town and do something different! Our host communication was absolutely top-notch and we appreciate it very much There’s not much to do around town, but that’s kind of the idea right? We did get to Carson‘s on the creek which was a nice little spot. Everyone at the Marina was very friendly and we appreciated our stay very much
