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.
