DOCKSIDE CATAMARAN STAY IN KEY WEST
2014 Lagoon 52 • THE PERRY HOTEL & MARINA

Welcome aboard our 2014 Lagoon 52 catamaran, permanently docked at The Perry Hotel & Marina in Key West.

This is a DOCKSIDE-ONLY stay that combines life on the water with access to a full-service marina and resort. Guests who enjoy boats, marinas, waterfront views, and unique accommodations tend to love it. Guests expecting a traditional hotel room or resort suite should understand that this is a real vessel with real marine systems and marine limitations.

PLEASE NOTE UP FRONT

This is not a hotel room.

This is a real boat, docked in a working marina.

The vessel has air conditioning, but it is a marine AC system and depends on shore power, marina infrastructure, and onboard systems operating properly.

Boat systems can occasionally be quirky or temporarily interrupted.

The marina and hotel amenities are an important part of the stay.

THE SETTING

The vessel remains stationary at the dock for the entire duration of your stay. It does not leave the dock under any circumstances.

You will enjoy waterfront views, marina activity, ocean breezes, and convenient access to The Perry Hotel & Marina amenities.

CABINS & LAYOUT

The vessel has six cabins total, with three cabins in each hull.

Port Side:

Bow Cabin: Double bed
Midship Cabin: Bunk beds, best for children or additional guests
Stern Cabin: Double bed with external-only access

Starboard Side:

Bow Cabin: Double bed
Midship Cabin: Double bed
Stern Cabin: Double bed with external-only access

Storage is limited, as expected on a vessel, but the layout is functional for a dockside stay.

GALLEY & ONBOARD FEATURES

The vessel is connected to shore power and water when systems are functioning.

The kitchen includes:

Electric oven and cooktop
Cookware, utensils, and dishes
Refrigeration and coolers

Due to marine space constraints, some items may be stored under seating or bunks.

Important: There is a BBQ on board, but it is not available for guest use.

AIR CONDITIONING

The vessel now has air conditioning.

Please understand that this is marine air conditioning, not a hotel HVAC system. It depends on shore power, marina connections, seawater cooling, and onboard marine equipment. While the AC is intended to be available during your stay, temporary interruptions, reduced cooling performance, or maintenance needs can occur.

Key West can be hot and humid, especially in the summer. Guests who require guaranteed, uninterrupted, hotel-style climate control should book a traditional hotel instead.

MARINA AMENITIES

Guests have access to The Perry Hotel & Marina amenities, including:

Resort-style pools
Restaurants and bars
Fitness center
Marina restrooms and showers
Paid laundry facilities
Parking

These amenities are an integral part of the stay and serve as reliable alternatives to onboard systems when needed.

LOCATION & TRANSPORTATION

Complimentary shuttle to Old Town Key West
Uber and Lyft readily available
Golf cart rentals nearby

HOUSEKEEPING & EXPECTATIONS

Please avoid tracking sand into the cabins.

This is a marine environment. Minor quirks, maintenance issues, and system interruptions can occur.

This is not a hotel with on-demand, immediate onsite service.

Guests should be comfortable with a boat environment, compact spaces, marine toilets, dock access, and the realities of staying aboard a vessel.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

DOCKSIDE ONLY

The vessel does not leave the dock under any circumstances.

REQUIRED ORIENTATION

Guests must watch a short orientation video prior to arrival covering access, toilets, electrical systems, AC, and vessel-specific features.

WATER & ELECTRICITY

As a marine vessel, onboard systems, including water, electricity, and air conditioning, depend on marina connections and marine infrastructure.

Temporary interruptions can occur.

These conditions are part of staying on a boat.

Marina facilities, including showers and restrooms, are the intended backup in these situations.

MARINE SYSTEMS

Toilets are marine systems and must be used properly.

Plumbing, electrical, and air conditioning systems differ from residential or hotel systems.

Improper use can cause outages, disruptions, or damage.

NO REFUNDS FOR MARINE SYSTEM CONDITIONS

By booking, guests acknowledge that:

This is a real vessel, not a hotel room.

Air conditioning is provided through a marine AC system and may be subject to temporary interruption or reduced performance.

Onboard systems, including water, electricity, toilets, and AC, may occasionally require troubleshooting or maintenance.

These conditions are not grounds for refunds or partial refunds.

Marina and hotel amenities are provided as the appropriate alternative when onboard systems are limited or temporarily unavailable.

WORKING VESSEL DISCLAIMER

This is a real, functioning vessel, not a hotel installation. Layout, access points, cabin sizes, stairs, hatches, toilets, electrical systems, and AC systems reflect that reality.

THE EXPERIENCE

This is a practical, character-rich boat stay on the water in Key West. You are staying aboard a docked catamaran, not in a resort suite.

For guests who understand and enjoy boats, marinas, compact spaces, and waterfront living, it can be a memorable and special stay.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

By booking, guests confirm they understand:

This is a dockside boat stay.

The vessel does not leave the dock.

It operates differently from traditional accommodations.

Air conditioning is available but is a marine system, not a hotel HVAC system.

They are comfortable with a marine environment and its limitations.

About the host

Hosted by Giugi Carminati

Host profile image
We are experienced hosts and property managers who love creating memorable stays in unique places. This catamaran is part of our love for the water, boats, Key West, and practical adventure. We manage many guest properties and understand how important clear expectations, clean spaces, and responsive communication are.

Our goal is to offer guests a special dockside boat experience: the chance to stay on the water, enjoy marina life, and experience Key West from a different perspective. This is not a traditional hotel stay — it is a real vessel in a working marina — and we want guests to feel prepared, comfortable, and excited before they arrive.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location because The Perry Hotel & Marina offers one of the best combinations of marina life, waterfront views, resort-style amenities, and easy access to Key West. It has the relaxed feel of a working marina, with boats, water, sunsets, restaurants, pools, and a full-service dockside environment.

The neighborhood gives guests a quieter home base away from the busiest parts of Old Town, while still making it easy to get around. Guests can use the complimentary shuttle to Old Town, take Uber or Lyft, rent a golf cart nearby, or simply enjoy the restaurants, pools, fitness center, marina showers, and waterfront atmosphere right where they are.

What makes this property unique

This is a dockside stay aboard a 2014 Lagoon 52 catamaran at The Perry Hotel & Marina in Key West. Guests are not just booking a room — they are staying on the water, aboard a real catamaran, with access to marina and resort amenities.

The vessel has six cabins, a galley, waterfront views, dock access, shore power, water, and marine air conditioning. It is a comfortable and memorable option for guests who love boats, marinas, and unique accommodations.

What makes this property stand out is the combination of a real boat experience with the convenience of a full-service marina. Guests can wake up on the water, enjoy the pools and restaurants at The Perry, use the marina facilities, and experience Key West from a different perspective.

This is a dockside-only stay. The vessel does not leave the dock, and guests should understand that boat systems are different from hotel or residential systems. For the right guests, that is part of the charm.
