Boat vacation rentals in Western Europe

We had a very nice stay with our son. It was a great experience. Sylvie is very welcoming and full of good advice. Very soon.

We spent two nights on the boat and enjoyed the time very much. Corrado and his whole family are very hospitable, gave us a very nice welcome with aperitif on the boat and brought a great breakfast in the morning. The best thing was the boat trip, which we also booked with Corrado! Our children and we had a great time and it was a unique experience!

We greatly enjoyed our 3-night stay at Jenny's AMI property. The 2 bedrooms were perfect for my wife and I + our 2 teenage daughters. Jenny was a perfect host -- from start to finish she was always very communicative. The instructions were very easy to follow -- and she proactively reached out to make sure everything was going OK. The scenery from the living room window was beautiful -- we saw many dolphins just fro the couch. The location on the eastern side of the island was new for us. We had previously always stayed on the western side by the gulf beach -- but found this location charming -- and at the end of the day, very easy to access the beach. The best on the east side, while not as famous as the Gulf -- but pretty to sit on in its own right. I would highly recommend this property for the value and quality of the host. We have tried larger, more expensive places with pools, hot tubs, etc. -- but the value on this rental was great.

We had a lovely time staying on the boat. Sharon was really helpful from start to finish. Everything was set up for our stay and we had a great time. This trip was myself, my brother, and my Dad, so two of us used the bedrooms and one of us slept on the sofa bed in the living room. There were ample blankets, cushions, and pillows for all three beds. The amount of space on the boat was great for us. I think three single people was the right amount for the boat, or four people if they were both couples. We entertained ourselves with food and drink on the picnic bench above the deck, and watching TV below deck. There was a strong WiFi signal and the streaming services on TV worked fine. Being on the Trent meant it was easy to go for a walk. We must have covered 8 miles on Saturday, along the River and into a couple of villages. All in all, we had a great time and would love to stay again on the future.

A stay that did us good. Exotic. The stress of daily life stayed in the parking lot! Thanks to Gilles for hosting us and the boat trip.

We stayed for just one night. Ivan is a super friendly host. It was nice and quiet to sleep on the boat. We wish we would have booked some extra nights.

Just returned from wonderful eight nights on Nicola’s boat. We spent two nights each in Amalfi, Capri, Katera, and Castellammare di Stabia. The last place (home port) due to weather and niece’s delay. Nicola planned itinerary after we provided some basic input. Nicola does a lot more than just take you safely from port to port on his spotless boat. He shares his extensive knowledge of Italian history and the Amalfi coast while viewing towns/ancient ruins from the boat. He also recommends top sights and restaurants in each port—several of which don’t show up in any guide books. All were top notch and usually less crowded than the “name” places. We especially enjoyed the opportunity to be in big name ports like Amalfi and Capri after the last ferry left at the end of each day. You can really appreciate the difference without the hordes of people. We felt so fortunate that we could go back to the boat, watch the sunset and go out to dinner. Best trip ever—Book it!!!

We had a great stay aboard Bob’s Yer Uncle! Very well organized and well stocked with all the necessities, and super clear instructions on getting into the marina and marina washrooms/showers - which we used instead of the boat shower. Would recommend visitors bring their own water for drinking. We’re hoping to book again the next time we’re in St. Catharines!

Our sailing weekend with Captain Enrico was absolutely outstanding—easily five stars. He is not only an expert navigator but also a gracious host with deep roots in the region. His knowledge of the Amalfi Coast is exceptional, and he gave us excellent recommendations for restaurants, travel logistics, and hidden gems along the way. Enrico tailored the itinerary to exactly what we wanted—whether relaxing on deck or swimming in secluded spots. Everything felt seamless and personalized. He also served incredible homemade Italian dishes on board, which made the experience feel even more authentic. Our group of ten friends was perfectly accommodated, and we all agreed it was the highlight of our trip. If you’re visiting the Amalfi Coast, sailing with Enrico is an absolute must.

Staying on the boat was a nice adventure. Thomas' welcome was also very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, it was very windy during our stay, which made it a bit noisy at night for me as a landlubber. However, the children slept soundly. The location is fantastic. Which is why we spent the next day on the beach right on site. Always happy 😊

Everything is perfect, the accommodation is as you see it in the photos and the managers are very kind, friendly and available for anything. Very close to the accommodation there is everything you need (parking, food, restaurants). I recommend it!!

It was very nice at Miriam's. She was a great host and we will be happy to come back

perfect. get away ,parking ,an easy walk to Cartagena and amazing place to stay . Spotlessly clean ,well equipped,beautiful and unusual with a lovely welcome fridge of soft drinks and Cava . we had so much fun sitting on deck and relaxing .

This is my second time staying on a boat within the AirBnB universe, and again, it was awesome! We loved the friendly folks at the marina, the boat was super cozy and beautifully decorated, everything was safe and comfortable, and we wish we could have stayed longer. Tara's instructions were super helpful, and we were able to enjoy our sleepover onboard. Can't wait to go back -- thank you for everything!

This is the second time we’ve stayed here, and both times have been brilliant, Steve is friendly and showed us around at check in and said he would be around if we needed anything. The Marina and yacht are amazing, especially in a sunny day with loads to do nearby. Would recommend this for sure!

Beautiful place. Excellent location. Nice host. They left us a cooler and an umbrella for the beach. Easy check in which was great because our flight got in late. Very comfortable. Nice big shower. We had zero issues with this place or host. Nice cool breeze at night from the water ac worked great, has microwave and stove for little cooking. Beach is literally 2 blocks away and it’s stunning !!! Great local restaurants and bars. Thank you very much would return again next time In area.

I take my son and grandsons (ages 11 nd 8) on an annual Father's Day weekend trip and, this year, I chose to stay on this boat in Carolina Beach. Of note during our stay, the hosts were incredible! Tarah and Joel exceeded (in a good way) every experience I've ever had with hosts. They went beyond expectations to make our stay memorable and they suceeded. The boat itself was exactly as described and shown in the pictures. We've have stayed on boat of this size before and found this one to be very clean and comforatble. Obviously, being a boat, spaces are tight and functional, just like they should be. If you think that you would enjoy living on a boat, I highly recommend staying with Tarah and Joel on this boat.

A pleasantly unique and unforgettable experience, staying in a boat house. The host is very friendly and willing to share things to do/see around the area. We really liked it 👍

A new, fun and unique experience for both of us. Waking distance to historic Saint Augustine and SA Fish Camp. Very private and quiet and loved sitting outside on deck in the morning drinking our coffee. It was also very nice sitting out in the evenings watching the sun set. Chris was exceptionally responsive to every question we had about the boat and the area. I loved the fact coffee and bottled water were provided for us so we had no need to run to the store to purchase. Plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioner, body soap and toilet paper as well.

Lovely and quite very tranquil place spacious clean had everything we needed .lovely cafe on site with great food well stocked shop in village good pub food This was something different staying on a boat I can’t recommend it enough . Definitely would stay there again

Great location 2 metro stops and 5 min walk from Rotterdam Central Station. A beautiful, well-maintained barge, with a comfortable bed and a terrace for sunbathing. The instructions were extremely clear to get to the boat and pick up the keys. No noise or disturbance from the other inhabitants of the boat (which is very long!). I highly recommend it for two, it's very charming.

A very pleasant experience, unique on George's ship. Very kind, communicative, sociable, with many stories, he helped us with everything we needed on the ship, directions regarding excursions, guides, places. The ship is located very well, close to the center of Sulina. Kitchen and living room great equipped with everything you need. Clean sleeping quarters. Coffee or tea place on the deck to serve. Fishing rods and bikes were available. I highly recommend the ship Santa Marina and George, Thank you, once again, George!

Absolutely amazing opportunity to stay on such a lovely boat Maxime really cares about his guests you can just tell. He even helped us walk our bags all the way back to the cars! The boat is pristine, spacious and a lovely night sleep!

The pictures and description of this property are spot on. Beautiful boat!!! The pictures speak for themselves so I will speak on Diane. I all our years of travel we have not had a host as attentive as Diane. No questions asked, she was always willing to help. Hands on with the biggest personality. A rare find in the rental business. We are already scheduling our next trip.
