Boat vacation rentals in New Forest District

Overall, everything about the accommodation was a pleasant surprise. Cleanliness, communication, and charm were all as good as it gets, and Joyce was a delightful host. Staying in a boat along with the time spent exploring the canal on foot really made the trip. Thanks!

Thank you Andrew, we loved staying in your quirky Airbnb. The boat was cosy & warm. You were welcoming & knowledgeable. Left the car at the location & got the number 3 bus into Bath for the Christmas markets - fab location. Thank you

We had a lovely weekend on Calypso to celebrate a birthday and attend the Boat Show. Poole harbour is beautiful and there is all you need ( Tesco, restaurants etc) within a few mins walk of the boat. The boat is large and we were very warm and comfortable. Certainly a different experience for us.

We had a great stay on Sea-E-O, very well equipped and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. The beds were super comfortable! A lovely location to sit out on deck and watch the world go by (just a boat every now and again!). I can imagine going back in the summer, with a book and glass of something cold in hand! A short walk into lymington which is lovely, great places to eat, a lovely market and the kids enjoyed crab fishing on the quay. We throughly enjoyed our weekend away - thank you!

Really enjoyed my stay here! Was a lovely location near the restaurants, the boat is clean and has everything you’d need. Check-in was straightforward and the car park was really handy just round the corner!

This is a great place to stay if you are looking for something really different and unique. We stayed 1 night to celebrate my partner's birthday, the location is beautiful and there is a lovely scenic amble into the town where there are many places to eat and drink. A truly chilled vibe!

We loved our stay on Sea Wolf, we've never stayed on a boat before so it was a real treat! The boat was great for 3 of us (two adults and an 8 yr old child) we really enjoyed the IOW views, relaxing on the decks and exploring the marina and beautiful nature reserve. Food at the Haven was excellent with great staff and the showers were really good. There was a chilly wind all weekend but we felt cosy and warm. Beds were really comfy and the main area has good seating and a VERY efficient hob and kettle. It was easy to get to Lymington for the market and well placed for getting out to the beaches and New Forest. Pack light! There are storage cubbies but it's a boat so it's compact. We pre-made food and the fridge & ice box had ample space. It's worth noting that there is a bit of boat noise in the night - pumps, dehums, a generator sound on and off BUT there is also the soothing sound of the water and the general creaking of the boat, overall a unique and fun experience!

Great overnight stay on Mischief, which was a treat for my husband’s birthday whilst attending the boat show. Kathy was available upon check in to show us around the boat. A quirky little stay, ideal for anyone who was looking for something alternative to the usual Airbnb & hotels. We had a great stay, thank you Kathy

Fun experience for my family, including two children aged 10 and 13. Good introduction by Steve. Everything we needed was on hand. Easy walk to restaurants and shops. Would be amazing in warmer weather.

Ok, so let me write an honest review. I’m Not sure what people are moaning about but here goes… We have travelled across the world and stayed in many different quirky locations but this was one of my top five! I’m boat mad and have always wanted to own a yacht but unless I win the lottery… this is the closest I’ll ever get. The yacht was clean and tidy, it’s 60 years old!! It’s not new. The bed was massive and extremely comfy. I haven’t slept that well in years. The kitchen was not the same as at home because, you aren’t at home! The toilets were in perfect working order. Anyone who knows boats knows how to use them efficiently. The Hot tub was the highlight. I spent almost my entire stay in there! It’s private and peaceful. I personally didn’t want to get out ever! The TV has all the latest apps like Netflix. The heating was adequate but we did leave it on all the time as it is March! I would definately stay again, they were lucky I didn’t move in! Thank you for a great stay x

A lovely spot to get some writing done, 2 minute walk from Tesco and about 15 minute walk from pubs etc. Very helpful staff at the end of the phone for anything you need. Thanks Keith and all!

Such a unique experience, make sure you read the description carefully but if the boat stay experience works for you there is no better spot than this!

Captain David and Pyae were wonderful hosts making our two night stay on their boat in Bath with my friend a really special experience. They were both warm, accommodating, generous, kind, and inviting without ever feeling intrusive even in the close quarters of the boat setting. We felt completely safe and enjoyed the fun adventure of waking up on the boat surrounded by their eclectic trinkets. Eating Pyae’s incredible breakfast on the top deck, soaking in the relaxing rays while cruising the River Avon was a highlight. We didn’t feel far from Bath centre, and in fact loved walking different routes home, allowing us to explore new points of Bath. We honestly can't fault it and would definitely recommend anyone to stay here if you're looking for a quirky, memorable experience.

Steve was absolutely brilliant. This was a last minute booking. Steve was very responsive, very polite and showed a great deal of knowledge as well as flexibility for check in times etc. First time on a yacht. Absolutely loved it. Very clean which is massively important to me. Great location, close to restaurants and shops. I would absolutely book this again and use Steve without hesitation. Thanks mate. We shall meet again :)
