Boats in Peru

"A different place to stay. A wood cabin but with all facilities such as fridge, single ring cooker, air conditioning, huge varanda with room for a dining table and chairs plus recliner chairs and a washing rack. Wonderful views of the Duero river. Pick up the train (one kilometre walk away) to Pinhao - 30 minute journey along the edge of the river-for food shopping and long, lazy lunches or to Porto for a day out. Rail fares in Portugal are very cheap and half price if over 65!"

A request: a reading light in the dining room/lounge area

"Great peaceful location with a beautiful view. Staying on this yacht with a caracter was really unique experience. The host was very nice. Parking in front of the marina was convenient."

Everything was perfect.

"Accurate to the price, good location, good just for sleep and good breakfast"

"The Sailboat Ragamuffin is a unique experience. You are staying in a sailboat moored off of Water Island, where your hosts live after sailing the Caribbean for 30 years. They are a font of information and anecdotes about the US virgin islands and others. Jo is an accomplished chef and strives to give you the food types you desire. They pick you up by dinghy on the Crown Marina dock, and will take you by dinghy over to Water Island. In my case, I had two berths (bedrooms and bathrooms) on the boat, rocked to sleep by the rolling of the boat on the water. Don't miss going to water island, golf cart to Limestone Beach (coral reef) and Honeymoon Beach (the latter has turtles swimming around)"

The listing didn't make it quite clear what the accommodation would be - it described an apartment and a pool view. I thought it might be a houseboat on a dock. The pool view is the sea around the boat!

"Unbeatable view. We saw a herd of caribou on the mountain to the east of the glacier. Our boat driver was wonderful."

I love the extremity of this place. Along with that came a couple of risks that concerned me. Reliance on a digital keypad lock if you’re on the deck and the door blows closed. No emergency radio. Icy water and no shelter on land even if you swam to shore. Also, we were told to use the provided phone number to call only if there was a true emergency. I honored that but therefore had no help when the water stopped working. Cryptic printed instructions did not help us get it working again (and I work on pump systems as part of my career). None of this ruined our enjoyment of this stunningly beautiful location.

"Very handy location. Boat well appointed with everything you could need: toilet, small shower, galley with all facilities (except a wooden spoon!). Bed comfortable with cosy bedding. Lounge and dining areas separate with a good amount of room, for two at least."

Being a bit inexperienced at staying on boats it took us a while to fine tune the way we used things but hey, life’s a learning experience. Hot water did run out but easily overcome and, with a bit of communication, eventually fixed up. It’s a boat, not a 5 star Hilton; these things happen.

"Amazing couple Paul and Daniela touring us around for three days with incredibly nice food from both , lots of stories and a unique itinerary to also see the non tourist areas! We met local kunas , snorkeled , swam and went to the nicest bar on one of the islands"

The trip to San Blas is an adventure :-) and the water was wet ( inside joke from Paul )

"Great location and absolutely fantastic staff. Felt welcomed and everything that was necessary was provided."

"Everything was amazing.. Start from the staff.. The Breakfast... The Boat Hotel new experience... Away from the city crowded... So Quit place... Just amazing. 🌹🙏🏻"

Actually the only thing is No about the facility but about the distance from city No Taxi.. Almost one hour far from city... Unfortunately I didn't know that if I did I would Rent a car... But is was experienc to use the fare and the Train from the Hotel..

"What can you say? You are living on a catamaran anchored in the bay. The views were epic and put the over the water bungalows to shame. You are actually in the water. We swam from the back of the boat and laid out on the bow. Just lying around and soaking in the views was a joy."

It is spartan without AC and the shower was outside (a plus for adventurous folk). We loved talking to Bernard (the host), but privacy is difficult on a boat. Also, the boat moves so if you don’t like boats, not a good choice.
