Boatel California Stay on a 40’ boat - best location in Ventura Harbor Gr8 Views
Best location in the Harbor with gorgeous sunset and harbor views, just below all the restaurants, live music, Deep Sea Wine tasting, famous ice cream shop, boutique shops, and more. We are also a very short walk from Island Packers and just across from the gorgeous beach! It is a boat so more like a large Floating RV than a hotel! There is plenty of room to sleep and relax. FREE high Speed WIFI! 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! The space Also search for our sister Boatel, Ventura Boatel, on VRBO. Our Boatel is on the water and permanently moored in the heart of Ventura Harbor Village with lots of great restaurants, shops, wine tasting, boat rentals, live music, fishing charters, Island Packers for trips to the Islands, great beach right across the street, and more. There are 2 staterooms, one with a very comfortable Queen size bed and additional twin size bed along with full bath with shower and one 1/2 bath front crew room with bunk beds suitable for smaller adults or teenagers and there is a convertible double couch bed in the living room. The salon has a couch, dining table and a TV/DVD/Netflix for evening enjoyment. The galley has a full refrigerator, kitchen sink, microwave, drip coffee maker (with a starter pack of coffee) and is fully equipped with other small appliances such as Electric Skillet, Crock Pot, hot water heater for tea/cocoa/soup, plates, glasses, etc. There is a covered deck (fantail) for dining and harbor viewing. We now have high speed internet/WiFi so you can work remotely with this incredible view!! We are proud to be CA Green Certified! We do offer compost and recycling bins and encourage their use. Ask about having brunch delivered to your Boatel and other specials. Guest access You have full access of our boat which is permanently moored at the dock. We will show you around then leave you to enjoy the harbor. Please note that no kayaks, SUPS, or other water craft are allowed to be left on the docks even for a minute for safety. You can rent kayaks, SUPs, paddle boats, electric boats near the Boatels at Ventura Boat Rentals. If you want to bring your own, please let us know so we can discuss options of where to put them on board, Harbor rules, etc. If you would like to rent both of our Boatels, see our sister Boatel - Ventura Boatel right here on VRBO. 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.

Staying on a boat is a last. We loved it. This particular boat had an amazing view of the water. The hosts are wonderful and flexible. Our kids and grandkids came for breakfast to celebrate my husbands birthday and we just relaxed all day! Amazing! Would stay again!

Ventura Outrigger Race stay
The location is perfect to walk to the race, parking and walk to restaurants at the Harbor. The cost is way too high for old boat and the pictures are deceiving compared to reality. Advertised to sleep 6, I would say 3 adults at the most. Shower door doesn’t open far enough to use. Need to walk to the harbor shower area. Boat is old, interior looks old. Can use one of the two bathrooms.
The boatel was exactly as described, very comfortable, and the location couldn’t have been any better. We came to visit the Channel Islands, and the Island Packers ferry is literally a 2 minute walk. There were so many options for dining within a short walk, and by the time we were ready for bed, it was completely quiet.
