Spacious and comfortable, the yacht sleeps up to 8 guests with two private bedrooms, a queen sized futon, a dinette that converts to another queen bed, three bathrooms*, a kitchenette, and living room! Although the yacht can sleep 8, we recommend 4 adults comfortably. 8 guests is recommended if there are children in the group or you're okay with getting cozy.

The Yacht sits on the gorgeous shoreline of Petite Lake, which is part of the Chain O'Lakes. Sitting atop the yacht, the sunrise from the east is breathtaking. Mornings on the lake are peaceful and serene. By the afternoon, the lake becomes active with boats, fishing, and beach fun.

The beach and large rooftop deck provide different places to relax on land with plenty of free amenities. The rooftop deck overlooks the lake and has comfortable patio furniture, a grill, griddle and tiki bar. There is a mini refrigerator on the rooftop deck for Yacht guests to use while grilling and hanging out to lessen the need for coming and going from the boat.

The beach is on the other side of the pier, which provides a great sandy swimming area and lots of activities. All free- you have access to kayaks, paddle boards, canoes, water volleyball, a floating picnic table, piers for fishing, and lots of floats and other water toys. Life jackets of all sizes are available, except for infants. Please bring life jackets that fit infants and small children.

*There’s a newly built marina bathroom with a large shower stall, toilet, and storage at the end of the pier on shore. This restroom is private to yacht guests. Toilets on the boat are only to be used for liquids. Sinks and showers on the boat can be used as normal.

*Price on a sliding scale to accommodate couples/small families. $10/night fees apply for guests beyond 4.

*The kitchenette consists of a dual coffee maker with a standard drip pot and a Keurig side, a microwave, double sink, and a mid-sized fridge and freezer. A starter case of bottled water is provided. We recommend bringing and cooler and ice for beverages or extra storage space. Coffee, sugar, and powdered creamer are supplied along with plates, cups and basic kitchen supplies. 

*This is a beautiful 40-foot 1985 Carver 3607 Aft Cabin Yacht. It stays on the pier at all times and cannot be driven by renters. Coming soon- you may have the option to hire a captain for the day to take you on a cruise!

*The pier is directly connected to our beach front. Safe area for swimming and access to FREE kayaks, paddle boards, floats, canoes, sand toys, life jackets and a floating picnic table. We also have rental boats available!

*The pier is made up of floating docks. They can be wobbly, especially when the lake is active. There is a lot of activity on weekends, especially late morning/afternoons. Mornings, nights and weekdays are slower.

*There are security cameras on the parking lot, beach and piers for safety and rental boat purposes. No cameras are on/in any of the rental units or outdoor yard spaces.

*The yacht is docked on our pier directly on Petite Lake, which is part of the Chain O'Lakes.
