About this property

Boat 53' 3-bedroom with AC & 20' Pontoon

The paired pontoon boat with this stay is a separete payment from your stay payment and is required within 7 days of the date after you book your stay.

Discover the charm of “Old Key West” aboard Vita Felice and embark on the journey of a lifetime by staying on a boat that was considered a Luxurious Yacht of its time and is a piece of American History. Keep in mind this Vintage Yacht is now over 50 years old and this is a boat on anchor. This stay is not the same as 5-Star resort on land. Being out on the water is more like a traditional stay and a mix of camping on the water. All your resources are provided on the boat but are limited. At the same time the boat has nearby access to the marina where resources are much less limited. Access to the marina by boat is for laundry, more comfortable larger showers etc. This is to conserve water on anchor though amenities like kitchen and bathrooms are still onboard the boat. Electric is from generator and 2 tanks of fuel per day are included for AC use, overnight, but generally is not run all day unless you have a special request the run it more than overnight with a fuel fee. Running water and Toilets run on battery 24/7. This stay meant for you to enjoy water activities with the pontoon during the day and have a comfortable place to sleep at night with comfortable beds,
5 - AC units throughout & full itchen use when generator is running. This is stay is paired with a Self Drive 20' Sun Tracker Pontoon Boat for Fishing/Lobstering, Cruising and Exploring the Sandbars. Enjoy local resturants with provided docks for the pontoon to enjoy night life. The location near downtown Key West is perfect for exploring the island on land but also provides a great opportunity to enjoy activities normally provided by boat charters. This unique opportunity gives you a secluded stay with a beautiful open water view unmatched by any other Key West lodging but also gives you freedom of water activities that would normally require a charter. Fishing, lobstering, and snorkeling are among many of the activities, including exploring on the Pontoon boat that can be used for island hopping and sandbars.

This Yacht was “The first Hatteras” certified for charter and is anchored offshore Key West Island and it’s accessible with the paired Pontoon Boat. This elegant vessel offers a timeless escape into the Grandeur of the Past in True Old Key West Style. Experience authentic boating living in the ocean at anchor with a secluded tropical paradise on the water, WITHOUT neighbors in close proximity! Anchored just a short pontoon boat ride from the marina.

The Pontoon rental for this boat is required and is the deposit for your nightly stay. Deposit is paid within 7 Days after you book your nightly stay. Pricing for the Pontoon is $375 per day depending on the length of your stay and is a bareboat rental that can be self drive or you can hire a captain to drive you and a list of captains can be provided.
