Exceptional stay

Absolutely welcoming owner, an incredible boat with all facilities you could look for, located in the beautiful and quiet marina of a quite touristic city. We loved our room, the bath, the deck of the boat, and especially the outstanding diner made by the owner. We had an unforgettable stay, thanks a lot again!

Open and friendly place to stay. You can use the whole boat, kitchen, roof... Alain was really helpful. He gave us lots of recommendations on where to go, what should we visit.

If you don't have a car, the location of the boat is quite far away from the nearest bus station. Also the city is really touristic and beaches were very crowded (in the summer).

Luxurious romantic stay with stunning views

This is a perfect destination for couples and single ladies 😉 great community and charming host. Every evening you get to spend with friendly neighbours,have a glass of wine and share adventurous experiences with guests from all over the world. As this was our first time staying on a boat, we had a chance to experience 3 days of rich and borred ,with stunning view to the Benalmadena Marina.The facilities are true to the photos. We have learned so much about sailing and life on a boat which made us really want to consider living on one of these in the future. Boat has the best views to front and back and enough space to share with others, besides our host ,Alain was nearly invisible, which gave us privacy and enough romantic moments. 😂 sorry for drinking all the wine.we will have to bring more next time. I am sharing this amazing luxurious boathouse with all my girlfriends and family and definitely going back.

For people who feel claustrophobic, maybe request to book a larger bedroom and be aware that this is a boathouse with spiral stairs going down. Another thing is the heat..but hey, we went in August, so u adapt..eventually🤣

Fantastic experience that made our holiday very special.

Amazing and unique stay made the holiday special. Also very close to the marina shops and restaurants. I would recommend this for all wanting something different. Also the boat owner was very friendly and helpful.

Slightly cramped but this was expected as it’s a boat! The room I was in would be difficult to use for a person with restricted movement.

Gently rock yourself to sleep.

A large private room, large comfy bed, plus private bath. Phenomenal rain shower with a view of the ocean outside. Hard to beat! Alain, the owner, is extremely helpful and fun loving. Speaks multiple languages and is truly welcoming. We rearranged our trip so that we could stay an extra night!

Relaxed and pleasant stay

Alain is a most easy-going and no-nonsense host. From the first second you feel at home on the boat. We were invited for a drink with other boat people on the quay.

Such an experience!

A super unusual, yet surprisingly comfortable stay onboard with the best hosts ever! It really felt like home. We were staying during bad weather so it was a bit tricky to get asleep at night first :) but it felt totally safe and sound from the very second. We were sorry we had to leave soon!

everything was fine

It wasn't an accommodation, it was an INCREDIBLE & UNIQUE EXPERIENCE! The boat is super, very spacious and comfortable - you can feel like on a high class vacation. The marina is quiet and peaceful, but close to attractions. But what is really great is the host!!! He is very kind and hospitable, we felt like we were visiting a very good friend. One of the most wonderful stays I have ever had; I would definitely give more than 10/10 if it were possible. We will definitely be back. THANK YOU!

Perfect plan to disconect from the Stress of life

Super nice experience, it helps you disconnect for the time of a weekend, gives you full immersion in the Costa del Sol life style. Every morning you wakeUp with the sounds of the Cigals birds flying over the Marina, and you feel the sweet brize of the sea invading your lovely suite in the boat. The stuff were super nice and friendly. I WOULD DEFINITLY RECOMEND it :) :)

All was perfect! :)

Awesome place to stay

The boathouse has a great owner who is very friendly and helpfull with exploring the area and restaurants. Also speaks a lot of languages. The boat has place to sunbath, is near a beach and lies in a spot where there is enough to do but is certainly quiet at night. We had the large room which had one large bed and an own bathroom with great rain shower douche. Bed was good too.

relaxed and something a little different but don’t expect much privacy / security

the boathouse was really well located just a couple of hundred metres from the beach and had a nice interior

lack of privacy and security. there wasn’t a working lock on our cabin door and Ion one occasion I found the owner showing another guest around the rooms, on another occasion someone walked into our room while we were in bed thinking it was the bathroom.

Superb

Alain was a great host, and offered help, conversation and coffee. The boat was in good condition generally, and it was lovely having places to relax on the deck. The marina location was also great. We could use the lounge and kitchen too. Other guests were friendly. Was great to have a different type of accommodation

We had the budget room, which was fine, plenty storage, comfy beds, etc. The bathroom however, needs updating..Alain himself is aware of this. The other rooms we saw (more expensive) had nicer bathrooms, so just be aware of your priorities when booking....

It was one of the best accommodation we ever had!

The communication with Allen (the host) was really easy and uncomplicated. To sleep with the feeling of the waves, lying in the sun on deck and enjoying the harbour life is really something special. Its quiet at night and you can easy walk to beaches and restaurants in not more than 5 minutes. It is an area with lots of tourists, but you can go to areas with less people easily by bus. Also to Malaga. Allen helped us a lot in finding local restaurants and he was also always open to have a wine or beer together with very interesting conversations. we loved to stay there.

Absolute secret gem in Andalucia.

If travel is part of your daily work as it is for me, tired of repetitive sterile modern hotel rooms then you will enjoy this precious gem. The minute you set foot on the ship you understand you are in someone's home. Best Upper deck for sunbathing in calmness, watching the Marina in and outs..... Best sheets, great beddings, very clean, double sink bathroom, showers, etc . And later the water clapping you to sleep like the best of lullaby. The ships' captain is there, without being there... It is up to you really. It's all about your mood and expectation. We stayed for one night and the minute we set foot we realised we didn't want to leave searching for restaurants. Captain Alain humbly offered to empty his kitchen cabinet and just made something eadable and had some really good local wines to offer with it. Needless to say it ended up in one of the BEST pasta I ever tasted! Other residents came back to the ship in the evening and joined us in the after deck. Amazing encounters, warmth, laughter and one of the best sleeps. This is a precious secret gem in Andalucia surrounded with overexploited tourism. Good job Alain! Will definetly come back as soon as possible!

Nothing really. This is a concept you need to embrace, it will leave you with dreamy memories.
