About this property

A PIECE OF THE SEA,,,,

Hello! And thanks so much for your interest in our Sas-sea at sea. Also, please make sure that you've read the description thoroughly! BOAT STAYS ANCHORED. Our Sas-Sea at sea is an older boat, but she has all the systems/functions that you'll need to have a great stay! We will mention, that if your picky, high maintenance, or needy, that this may not be the adventure for you, but that there should likely be a Hilton or Marriott down the road for three times the price, that will have a mint on your pillow for you :-). Furthermore, this adventure has proven to be most satisfying for kids 60 and under :-) The boat is located about 3/4 mi away from the base marina. She's anchored in a beautiful cove, where often times you will have Manatee and dolphin come to say hi!! She has an abundantly stocked galley, with various seasonings, Olive oil, coffee, filters, etc.. the generator on the boat will supply ample power for whatever you required to cook, ac, coffee, toaster oven. It's design however, is not to run 24 hours a day. We supply you with 8 hours/ day, of run time on the generator, anything in excess of that we leave up to you to cover expenses for. That, helps us keep our costs down, translating into a much cheaper stay for you!!! The Captain's quarters, in front of the boat, offer a comfortable queen size bed for your hrs of shut eye :-) The bathroom has a camper type porta- potty, and shower for rinsing off ( not heated), however there are hot showers back at the base Marina. the boat has a nice stainless steel grill on the back, for you to enjoy cooking your favorites on) included with the boat, comes a double kayak, or for a little extra, let us know, and we can reserve a dinghy with motor for you! ( please see description pictures). Thanks again for choosing our boat, where you can look forward to spending a relaxing, decompressing time on our Sas-Sea at sea!!! cheers!! Fyi, we also offer greatly discounted sunset/eco tours and Beach / backwater fishing outtings on a 21' deckboat:)! see ya soon!!
address is 299 Morris Ave, Pelican kay Campground btw.

Great escape

We had a wonderful stay, it was short but it was wonderful. The boat was everything you need to get away from the busy world we all live in. We had another guy from marks boats stop over and show us a fishing spot. And it’s like nothing you have ever seen before. Overall it’s a great experience that we will definitely want to do again.

Great adventure

Mark was a great host. My son and I loved staying in the peaceful cove. Having the dingy was great allowing us to explore small beaches and the mangrove rivers. Weather was perfect for us too. Couldn't have been more special.

Overnight stay on our way down the Keys…

The boat was exactly what we wanted where we wanted it…nice secluded cove with only a few other boats around. The weather was as perfect as the sunset over the mangroves. Mark was the perfect host, giving us a quick tutorial on running the dinghy and more than enough water and ice for the night. It was one of my wife’s favorite nights that week! Thank for everything Mark - we will be sure to come back if the opportunity arises :)

Peaceful and Perfect

This was the perfect vacation for us! We stayed there 3 nights. So peaceful out on the water in Mark's boat! It has everything you need and Mark is the best host! He checks on you to see if you have everything you need. We enjoyed fishing and swimming right off the boat and exploring the Everglades at a nearby park. We saw manatees and dolphins near the boat. If you're someone who loves to experience God's beautiful creation first hand, this is the trip for you! I highly recommend Mark's boat!

Awesome experience. Mark was always available to chat with if we needed anything. Amazing memories were made and we were able to get away from the craziness of the city. If you are the hoity toity type, go check into a 5 star Hilton somewhere. If you want an awesome adventure away, this is your place.

Our stay on the ocean

We thought it was wonderful and unique. If you aren’t ok with bare bones accommodation and “roughing it,” this isn’t for you. If you are up for something unique, sleeping on the ocean, possibly seeing dolphins, and catching some rays, this would be for you. We aren’t fishermen but this would be heaven if you are a fisherman!

Camping

My wife and I had an absolute pleasure staying on Marks boat! She’s an older, but well kept boat. The sunsets and sunrises, with our coffee, were breathtaking! The cove where the boat is moored, is absolute heaven :-) in the evening, we often had dolphin, and Manatee locals visit us,Almost in a welcoming way! We will definitely be back again! Thank you so much Mark for making our stay a true 10 out of 10!

A beautiful outdoors adventure

It was our first time in Key Largo and it was an absolute beautiful time on Manatee Mark's boat for a three day stay. Definitely more for the outdoorsy type with kayaking, fishing, and the water being right outside your bedroom. Mark checked on us through out our stay to make sure we were okay with the boat and happy about our stay as well as wonderfull communication up until the moment we checked in. We will say this space is definitely for people that love the outdoors, open space, and the water.

Our stay

Excellent communication with the owner, any questions we had he was more than happy to answer. Anytime we called and needed anything he was always available and able to accommodate. Excellent experience and location. We are looking forward to next years trip already! It is definitely an experience I am very happy to have had with my family. Beautiful ride out to the boat, and it was very clean and exactly what he had described it to be. I know online booking is a hit or miss and this was definitely a hit!

Fun Boat Adventure

This spot is very unique and a bit rugged. Getting to the boat may be a bit stressful and take a while as you have to drive a little dinghy to the boat, but it makes for a fun adventure! The boat itself is quaint, reminiscent of tent camping. Mark is very nice and easy to communicate with. We had to cut our trip a bit short and he was very considerate and helpful.

Unplug and Enjoy the Sunset!

Manatee Mark exceeded every expectation! Definitely the Host With the Most, Mark was kind and accommodating (and beyond) allowing us to truly enjoy an off shore break with reality like we had never had before. The water was perfect for a dip off the end of the boat. Enjoyed a grilled, boat top dinner and wine while watching the sunrise. After a still nights sleep on the water, enjoyed coffee while the sun came up and warmed the cove surrounding us. The sounds of fish jumping and the clear sky (perfect for star watching!) added to the High Zen Level. Bonus for our stay: Full Moon!! We're headed back as soon as we can...

Weather cancelled

The rating is really not appropriate since we were unable to stay at all. A significant rain storm forced us to cancel and there was no availability to reschedule for the next day so we lost our payment. Mark was kind, and certainly can’t control the weather, so just be aware this adventure is at the whim of Mother Nature.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Seda

Hey there folks, I'm originally from Green Bay Wisconsin. So, go Packers! I moved to Key Largo about 12 years ago as a union electrician. Short after, this choice of work became unfulfilling for me. As a kid, the family and I spent our summers on our boat in door county Wisconsin. It was here that my love of the water, fishing, and boating stemmed from. I decided to incorporate that love of the water into a career of sharing that awesomeness with others!!

Why they chose this property

You could say the neighborhood kind of chose me, we were very blessed when we moved here to find a quiet, virtually no crime, neighborhood with very peaceful and quiet neighbors :-)

What makes this property unique

We know that you will love spending your off time with us simply because you won't find better prices, or guests service anywhere in the keys, and moreover, The cove where the boat is located is absolutely breathtaking! Oftentimes you will have dolphins and/ or manatee frolicking behind the boat, herons,pelicans, gulls flying around, and schools of little fish perpetually jumping about make this cove a one-of-a-kind! Thanks again for your interest, and we look forward to seeing you soon!! :-)
