About this docked boat rental

Sleep Aboard is New England's exclusive houseboat rental company located in Providence, RI. Our Providence fleet numbers 4 unique boats and we specialize in offering a unique overnight experience as an alternative to drab hotels. Visit for additional pictures, video tour of the yacht and company information.

We were voted BEST HOTEL ALTERNATIVE by Yankee Magazine in 2015!!

You are currently looking at our 45' Albin Trawler - your own private yacht in downtown Providence. This is an upgrade from a regular houseboat which we also offer. Our Albin Trawler is conveniently located in downtown Providence just a stone’s throw from Brown University, Waterfire, the East side and Davol Square. Our marina is also host to three major Providence hot spots for dinning and nightlife including the Whiskey Republic, Lola’s and The HOT CLUB.

We offer an alternative to conventional hotels in the local providence area by offering overnight stays aboard our fully furnished, 61 foot motoryacht. Our yacht, an Albin 45', is a pedigree cruising yacht and is available to select customers for single to multi-night stays.

Our boat provides a floating experience aboard a well appointed motoryacht. Our yacht offers the following features:

- Sun-Filled Salon with full views of the city
- Large Upper Full Decks on second and third level areas are perfect for barbeques and having drinks at sunset
- Master Bedroom complete with Queen Size Bed and bathroom (shower and faucet)
- Air-conditioned and heated for summer and off-season months
- Fully functional kitchen with mini- fridge/freezer, 4-burner stove and oven
- Guest quarters including separate berth in bow sleeps 2 and has a separate bathroom (toilet and faucet)
- Upper salon accommodate 2-3 additional people for overnight stays - additional $50 per extra guest, maximum 7 guests total
- Private end- dock removed from the marina traffic and restaurants
- Two bathrooms as follows: one bathroom maintains a toilet and sink/faucet (common area) and bathroom on master bedroom as shower/faucet

We offer different rates depending on the season and depending on the occasion. Our standard summer rates reflect an occupancy of 4 people maximum for overnight stays. 6 people maximum could stay overnight with the additional cost of $50 per extra guest.

For guests looking to have a larger gathering, we offer a 'Function' rate which reflects having a larger crowd aboard. Function rates apply to parties where there are more than 8 visitors at any one time. Our yacht is also perfect for special functions including reunions, photo shoots for weddings and corporate events. Please ask about our special rate for larger functions of up to 20 guests. Due to the wear and tear on the boat and the increased water/electrical usage by having more people aboard, we also reflect that in the rate and appreciate your understanding in this matter. Please review our rates to see what fits your budget.

Note: this is an older yacht with its share of minor defects; there is normal wear and tear on floors, cushions and furniture and is not perfect; clean freaks should not book if you anticipate perfection equal to a sterile hotel room - this is a yacht in the middle of a city, not a hotel room. This experience is so much more unique and original than a hotel room. As a boat, expect bathrooms to be manual and to smell like marine heads do - this is not a house.

New in 2016 - Kayak, Stand Up Paddle and Row Boat Rentals ....As part of your stay at our marina, Sleep Aboard now offers several water-craft available for rental including several kayaks, several Stand-Up Paddle Boards (SUP) and a classic Whitehall rowing boat. Pricing is available upon booking and arrangement for hourly, daily or weekly watercraft rentals can be made as part of your Sleep Aboard stay.

Included with each stay is overnight parking, all marina/dockage fees and cleaning services.

From all of us at Sleep Aboard, we look forward to having you aboard!

Summary of reviews
Easy, clean, restful, lots of fun. Would book again for sure. Super nice guy and has fun rentals. Our 4th trip using the houseboats, and they never disappoint. Can’t think of a better way to spend a weekend in Providence. Clean and in a great area, far more memorable than a regular hotel room. The four of us had a great night, enjoyed the experience, having the grill and AC was terrific.

The family and I had an absolutely wonderful time at the host’s boat house. The property was much more spacious than the pictures represent. You will be pleasantly surprised. Neil was beyond accommodating and was super communicative. A++ experience all around. Will definitely be booking again.

After parking, getting a cart, unloading trucking hauling finally got to the boat the step or landing on the boat was falling apart if anyone whos heavier than I am or step on it wrong there could be serious injuries. Inside the boat was so musty smelly squciky and so hot we couldnt evem breath. I was worried about air quality inside. It is an old boat but cleanliness is a issue. Every cracks and ceiling looked moldy only bedding in master bed and sitting area seemed dusted or swipped. Under the tables or top of shelves everywhere else was packed with dust. It was so hot we decided to leave right away to give time for the room to cool. We went back after 3 hours but inside the boat was still 86 degrees and just coundnt see us relaxing and having a good time in there with that smell and uncleanliness. We immediately agreed not to stay there. It was very frustrating and uncomfortable experience not to mention waste of money.

We enjoyed a 4th of July stay on the boat...both Waterfire and local fireworks were enjoyed. The marina is in a perfect location...close to many restaurants and a beautiful and pleasant walk to Waterfire. People in the boats docked around us were friendly and respectful. It is so much more fun than staying in a hotel. We're looking forward to doing it again!

I hate to do this but the area, marina and boats were less than great. Very tired and depressing marina in what appeared to be unsafe neighborhood.

The 3 digit combination lock is actually 4 numbers, the hot was wasn't turn on, the freezer was unusable due to frost buildup so the door wouldn't close, the owner asked me a second cleaning fee to wash the sheets and blanket (shouldn't that be standard!)
