About this docked boat rental

* We decorate for the holidays! *

The space
Before she retired, LYLA belonged to the Fluke Family of Bellevue. Every summer, spanning from 1968 to 2020, LYLA spent endless hours cruising the waters of the Puget Sound and beyond.

The boat has recently been completely restored - here you will find quartz countertops and beautiful woodwork throughout. The interior boasts a beautiful salon and galley with views of the harbor in every direction. The pilothouse, or mid-ship, is outfitted with a wine fridge and cappuccino/espresso machine. In addition to these amenities, enjoy sweeping views of the harbor from above deck, BBQ and lounge on the many exterior decks (season permitting), and spend time kayaking around the harbor in our complementary kayaks.

LYLA sleeps up to five people comfortably:

- The Captain's Room: has one queen size bed and closet

- The Bunk Room: has two extra long twin beds, bunk bed style

- The Pilot House: has one extra long daybed
Guest access
We are available through vrbo for any questions - we live nearby so we can assist anytime!

I surprised my husband with this booking for his birthday. It was a fantastic surprise and one of the most unique VRBO experiences we've ever had. Our kids loved it and couldn't wait to "get back to the boat" every night. We used the kayaks and the kids took turns jumping into the chilly water. We met our different boat neighbours and felt right at home. Our only regret is not booking a fourth night. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you Kenzie and Griffin!

first time staying on a boat so I wasn't sure what to expect. sure, it's small but it's gorgeous! the bed was super comfortable, my two teenagers were fine in the bunks and there's plenty of space to be when you're not sleeping.

My husband and I celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary on Layla after dropping our daughter off at summer camp! Staying on a yacht was definitely a bucket list experience and Layla did not disappoint! We were enchanted by her story and our hosts journey restoring her! Every corner has been tastefully decorated and restored... I never knew how much I love antique brass 😍. We greatly enjoyed waking up with mimosas overlooking the harbor! Dont miss dinner and a drink at the tavern right next door! We will definitely be back! Only complaint is a little outdoor table for drinks and cards would have been great!

Everything was great! The boat was situated in one of the most scenic harbors in WA; and walking distance to restaurants, breweries, and the quaint waterfront of Gig Harbor. We will be back!

We adored staying on this beautiful vessel. We love boating to begin with, so to be able to sleep on this historic yacht was really fun. The massive restoration work Griffin and Kenzie undertook is documented in a book, and it was a real labor of love. While staying on a boat is inherently different from a typical land-based rental, the basic wants and needs are met here aboard Lyla. We loved being so close to nature. It is a peaceful spot to just relax and watch the sun go down while enjoying an adult beverage. The pilot house is the most comfortable place to sit and we spent a lot of time there. We would love to return for a longer stay; four nights wasn’t really enough!

I told the girls I rented a house on the water! The look on their faces was priceless when they saw it was a boat. Thank you so much for the adventure The only issue was you guys don't have a guest book! 📚 Looking forward to another trip.

Staying on Lyla is a wonderful experience. Sitting on the aft deck with drinks watching all the activity of Gig Harbor, paddling around on the kayaks, and enjoying all the roominess and comforts of your own boat! We loved the cool comfiness of the queen bed in the bow, the little kitchen to prep our own food and drink treats, and the various chairs and beds and little spaces to just be by yourself for a bit. Easy to walk into the town, so close, for meals and treats. Everyone is so friendly, and the owners especially so! Can't wait to come back!

Hi! We absolutely loved our stay here! We have a family of 5 and they all had their space, the details put into it were amazing and we all enjoyed seeing the old renovation process of the boat. We truly enjoyed cooking, having wine, and spending our last night of our road trip on board! Thank you again for the beautiful stay!

My son & I had a wonderful stay on the LYLA, located in the heart of historic Gig Harbor. Nestled between 7 Seas and The Tides Tavern, this beautifully refurbished yacht was thr perfect spot. We had several days of great weather ("The mountain was out!"), and got to experience the Maritime Gig Festival. Wildlife abounds with harbor seals, bald eagles, osprey, purple martins and more. The boat is very well appointed, with an espresso machine and full kitchen. The beds were comfy and warm and the boat is sprinkled with interesting information about the LYLA's history, including the really cool table containing its original blueprints. It's clear Kenzie and Griffin have put a ton of thought and love into this property. They were super easy to communicate with and so friendly. Thanks for a great stay. We'll be back!

I got sent up last minute to Gig Harbor for work. Quickly learned there aren’t many hotels around. Wow was that a blessing in disguise. Found this boat and said, “yep, I’m in.” Literally the best work trip I’ve her had. The boat was roomy and comfortable. The harbor is phenomenal and beautiful. All but one afternoon there was a bald eagle flying really close by. Every morning walking out on the stern and smelling the water was awesome. To top it off the shower was hot, the bed was warm, and the fridge was cold!!!!

Oh my goodness what a beautiful boat! I stayed here for one night with my boys, I wish we had more time. It was so nice and convenient to use the kayaks. The beds were super comfortable. The boat was warm and clean. I was ecstatic to see an espresso maker-I actually have the same one at home! My kids were so excited to have stayed here, definitely one of our most rememberable experiences! I can’t stop telling others about your place.

We stayed on the Lyla for 4 fabulous nights. The boat was warm, cozy and nicely furnished. Most everything we wanted to do was in walking distance. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. Hosts were also friendly and helpful. A fun, unique experience was had by all.
