About this property

42' Ponderosa Located in the Historic Gig Harbor Marina & Boatyard

Super Spacious 42' Ponderosa with 2 large staterooms, each with their own head (bathroom) and located at opposite ends of the boat (forward and aft). The main salon features a flat screen smart TV, movie collection and comfortably sits 6-8 on a sectional couch and chairs. Entertainment space extends from the salon up to the Sun Deck and Fly Bridge making space for up to 12 guests. The back Sun Deck is fully equipped with a wet bar, refrigerator and ice chest. With the lovely table and chairs this gives you another option to enjoy a meal with friends or share a glass of wine right on the water with Mount Rainier as your back drop. Views from the Sky Bridge and Sun Deck are truly breath taking overlooking the rest of the harbor. The galley is fully stocked with all the comforts of your home kitchen. There is a coffee maker, full size refrigerator, dishes, glassware, flatware, bowls, cutting boards, standard spices, and pots & pans. This incredible, comfy floating inn has all you could need for your stay and is only a short walk from downtown where there is always something to do. Experience 7 Seas Brewing, Heritage Distilling Co., The Tides Tavern, some incredible downtown waterfront shops and beautiful Skansie Brothers Park right next door.
(Our vessels stay docked during your stay, so no special licensing required)

Fun experience!
This is a very clean, comfortable and well equipped boat. The bedding was particularly comfy! From a hair dryer to kleenex to shampoo to cozy throw blankets - I was impressed with all the amenities. It was also really nice to be able to walk to restaurants and shops. Our weather was cold/rainy so we had to say inside with the heaters running most of the time but in nice weather the back deck/sitting area would have been fantastic. The boat was quiet (I imagine in nice weather there would have been a lot more going on on the dock in general) and stable. It's the first boat on ramp "B". (FYI This is definitely not for anyone with any mobility issues as there are steep steps everywhere.) It was a fun experience - I've not stayed on a boat before and am glad I did. Thank you! There are many places to book this rental including through the Gig Harbor Marina and Boatyard directly - I didn't realize that until after I'd booked so it's worth comparing prices.

Cozy Christmas on the boat
So glad we did our staycation on this boat. It was fun to be in the heart of Gig Harbor during the Christmas season and be able to walk to our favorite places. Being December it was chilly, but the bedding was warm and cozy.
