This old wooden boat can occasionally remind you of boat smells, but not always, it comes and goes and still a mystery after 20 years in operation.

We’ve put a lot of effort into making this into a lovely space to be enjoyed by our guests.

Superb stay in a superb and unique place. A reconstituted 75’ shrimp boat, with magnificent views is tough to beat. Three floors and 3 decks provide for a lot of space and privacy and the place is fully equipped. Great host and great time. We highly recommend.

We had a great time here. The space is small and the floors are slanted but that is part of the charm of this cabin. We loved it! They have a photo book of how they got the place moved and built into a cabin which is really neat. The view is to die for and I wouldn’t change a thing about our stay. The hosts were very responsive when needed.

I wish I could give it more than 5 stars

This place has breath taking views and is one of the most unique places you could stay. Karen was so accommodating and made this experience for my family one of a kind. You will you not find an experience like this anywhere in Homer let alone most of the world. The time we had there will be memories forever. Cannot wait to comeback.

Awesome property

Our family had a fabulous stay in this unique property. The location was great - it felt secluded but with easy access to Homer and The Spit. The views were incredible and the boat had all we needed for a comfortable stay. We are all short (under 5'9") and had no issues, but we did note the ceiling heights might be less comfortable for a tall family. We would definitely stay again.

Mom Adventure with 3 adult children

This stay was more than amazing and I cant wait to return. I brought my 3 adult children to Alaska for the trip of a lifetime and it absolutely was. The view from our unique lodging was perfect. I always look for fun and unique places to stay and this was perfect. The location was private yet close to everything. My only regret was not being able to stay longer.

We had a delightful stay on "the ship." We were looking for something different that provided space for my dad, me and a teen. It was perfect!!! We had a great vacation, caught a lot of fish, and the great accommodations were a huge part of it! Got great directions, provided contact if we need anything, and couldn't have asked for anything more.

My granddaughter and I spent 4 nights at the Double Eagle and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The ocean views from each room were stunning both morning and night. The owners provided everything you could ever want in a rental and were very helpful with the check in and directions. This unique boat lodging helped make our visit to Homer very memorable.

About the host

Hosted by Karen & Bryan Zak

Host profile image
One winter day in February 2000, Karen and Bryan came upon the property on Baycrest Hill for sale, they pulled up to the property and walked around and Bryan said ' there is no better view in Homer than this location, can you imagine if visitors could experience this view? The property was carefully developed for visitors with privacy in mind, exceptional views and all the comforts of home. Over the years Bryan and Karen have added many unique accommodations with the vision to provide guests with that one-of-a-kind experience.

Why they chose this property

Our vision is to provide our guests a unique experience with high end lodging with all the comforts of home and an exceptional panorama view to wow the senses. Wildlife is regularly scene from the cabin and you can always count on resident Eagles soaring around the property that nest nearby.

We commit ourselves to excellence in service to our guests and want you to experience the wonder that Homer embodies with exceptional views, abundant wildlife, unlimited activities, world class fishing and a small, friendly community that welcomes guests.

What makes this property unique

A labor of love to restore this old wooden boat for guests to experience . The area offers fishing, flying out for Bear Viewing, or kayaking in the bay. You'll never forget the taste from barbequing some of your very own fresh catch on the BBQ grill. Homer's Halibut get so big that they are affectionately called 'Barn Doors'. Charter Boat captains offer their years of experience to make your trip successful and fun.
