About this space
This is the "Sister Ship to "Ventura Boatel". It is a boat so more like a large Floating RV than a hotel! There is plenty of room to sleep and relax. The boat doesn't ever leave the dock. You will get to experience living on a boat, but since it is always attached to the dock you will never have to worry about sea sickness! It is less than 100 feet to all the action at Ventura Harbor Village and also to the beach. Ask about having brunch delivered to your Boatel, comedy show tickets, etc.

Other things to note
We now have high speed internet so you can work remotely with this incredible view, stream Netflix, etc. Remember to pack light. You will be entering your "Boatel" down a dock and up a set of docksteps. We will give you complete instructions for our marine style toilets and showers. The showers work fine but are small like most RV and Boat Showers so we provide keys to the Harbor Shower and Laundry facilities, which are a short walk from the Boatels) for those that want more room (we will give you keys). The front room is 2 bunk style beds suitable for crew or kids 11 and over that don't mind a regular bed style, more like a real sailor!NEVER, EVER put anything down the Head (toilet) EXCEPT the provided Marine toilet safe toilet tissue. I know it sounds yucky, but Marine Heads are notoriously sensitive. Most recently, a Paper Towel was flushed and clogged the Head, burning up the motor, rendering it unusable for the rest of the visit. Guests who flush objects down the Head resulting in plumbing problems will be responsible for the cost of repairs. I can't emphasize the importance of this enough. There is a trash receptacle in provided for items like feminine products, moist towelettes, paper towels, etc.
