PLEASE NOTE:
This is a mechanical, off-grid boat, attached to a dock along an ocean fjord. There are times when certain parts do not function as you would normally expect if you were on a land dwelling Air BnB. While we ensure the functionality of everything prior to your stay, there's a possibility that status may change while you're on board. Rest assured, we will work with you remotely or come to the boat and solve any issues that may have occurred.
GUEST ACCESS:
Guests will have access to the whole inside cabin of the boat, with the exception of a small locker in the bow. Guests will also enjoy access to the rooftop patio as well as back patio.
Guests will not have access to the engine compartment, nor the side bridges and front anchoring bridge. Those areas are restricted due to risk of falling and slipping.
