38' Yacht equipped with luxury and kayaks!

Have a magical stay on the water in this wood-clad 38' boat: Gollywobbler. The galley comes complete with an hotplate, microwave and refrigerator. The bedroom features a sitting area, lots of storage space and a full size plus bed. An additional sleeping berth is an extra long roomier than normal twin. Lastly, the dining table lowers into a full bed. The back deck has two loungers for enjoying coffee or wine and watching the seals and harbor activity. Five kayaks are shared with other boats.
The space
Walk to coffees and dinner, stroll the harbor and check out the quaint shops, enjoy the use of the four kayaks, watch the seals and boats go by. The dining table makes into a double bed also. We offer five kayaks two of which are doubles! They are shared with the other boats.
Guest access
The net shed, other docks, and other boats are not included in this listing as they are all rented separately.
Other things to note
Occasionally there will be events/celebrations in the net shed. It’s too cool of a venue to not have parties in. Please feel free to walk through to access your boat. Know that we will comply with quiet hours at 10pm too. For safety, the propane oven has been disabled.

Great Location

We enjoyed a lovely stay on the Golly Wobbler. The location was ideal to walking to restaurants, shops, etc. We were lucky enough to meet the hosts/owners of the boat and they were extremely nice and helpful.

BOATNANZA

The boat was amazing! Lots of downtown businesses within walking distance. The marina was peaceful and we got to see tons of birds and seals in the harbor. Kayaks were convenient and easy to maneuver. Definitely interested in staying again!

Experience true Gig Harbor

From the beautiful 38' yacht, to the restored netshed and the ambience of the harbor - I cannot recommend this stay enough, especially if you are a boating enthusiast. Access to the walkable waterfront, great restaurants, shopping is convenient and you may even be visited by otters or harbor seals while on the yacht. I will be back!

Night on the Water

We had a lovely stay on the 38’ Yacht. The vessel was comfort and clean. The location was within walking distance of downtown, good restaurants and views of the harbor. We recommend it highly.

AH-MAZING!!!!!!

This was the most amazing stay and cannot wait to return. My parents live in Gig Harbor and so this will be my go-to place when I come to visit. It afforded the most peaceful getaway when my life is the most stressful its ever been. I was so grateful for this little blessed boat to feel like I really could take a breath and enjoy the weekend. Thank you for hosting us.

What a beautiful boat!! Very clean and well-maintained. It was warm and cozy while listening to the rainfall. Such a unique experience staying on a yacht instead of a hotel or home. Directions were detailed with good communication before and during our stay. Nice touches including light snacks, a bottle of wine, kayaks and a makeup towel. Walking distance to a brewery and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back again.

Just Wonderful!!!

What a treat! Would love to do this again. Beautiful boat with everything you needed to have a good time. Loved the location and area. Walked to the Tides Taproom for the best Halibut I’ve had in a really long time, and great beer brewed by 7 Seas Brewery. Loved this experience! Thank you Michelle and the Pond Babich people for sharing it.

Fun experience

We stayed on this houseboat for Spring Break while visiting friends in the area. It was a highlight of our trip. A different lodging experience just to add extra fun to our visit. It was well appointed and has everything you need. The location is perfect and walkable to everything on the harbor. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

Fantastic place to spend a few days in the PNW!

My 8-year-old and I loved this boat. We stayed on Lyla for three nights and the Blue Gollywobbler for one night. Both boats are great. The kayaks were used every day.

This was so much fun and way better than a hotel. We walked a lot, which was great, but we wanted to just stay in the boat and enjoy early morning coffee. It was fantastic.
