63 'Yacht - Como uma casa flutuante! 2Bd + 2Bath + Loft + Cozinha + Jantar

Boat was dirty outside, and smell inside. Some to be expected, because it is a boat. Things did not work, shower not mounted, TVs generally did not function, no written instructions, msc stuff. One key for three guys was difficult for access, also just one parking pass, which we knew ahead of time. James very concerned about parties on the boat, which is probably the best use of the noat

We had a really great time on board the yacht in Marina del Rey. James was very responsive to communication and the location was fabulous. The cool breezes off the water were great and that end of the marina, while near construction sites, was surprisingly quiet as well. The short walk to the beach and shopping was also appreciated. The watertaxi over the weekend was a great amenity in getting around the marina, and it stops right outside of the yacht.

The listing needs updating/clarification though as the photos are a few years old when there were more accessories that are long gone, leaving the interior looking a bit sparse now. There's also photos of a "study" we didn't have access to. The many entertainment and lighting options mentioned for the boat were non existent. We managed to get just a few of the lights actually operating and none of the LED. None of the many speakers were apparently hooked up to anything and there was no basic instruction manual for the boat explaining how to turn lights or TVs on, which remotes do what, etc. or how to connect the dangling wires everywhere. It was a guessing game until we gave up and just used a basic overhead light we found in each room. The Yacht clearly needs a simple handbook for itself explaining how everything works, how to get hot water and where to find the other amenities listed.

The bed linens and towels were extremely nice and the two bedroom's beds were

very comfortable. The other single "sofa beds" were great for our nieces to use in the upstairs room, but I wouldn't sleep adults there.

Water pressure for the showers was so low, we used the shower block in the marina.

Dining was delightful as we hauled the portable table and deck chairs to the top of the boat and had all of our meals there in the open air. Sunrise over the marina is lovely.

There were many other options listed as amenities for the boat that also were listed but not there (&that if removed from the listing, we wouldn't have even cared about, but since they were, we were looking for them) such as: pool, sauna, kayak, large cooler, beach towels, motorboat, fitness room/equipment.

So overall all, with a little TLC in the cleaning of the exterior of the windows, repairing the torn window screens and detailing the interior surfaces, some soft furnishings put back and the electronics / sound systems sorted out as functional items, I'd highly recommend renting this for an L.A. trip. We'd certainly visit again

My family and I really enjoyed staying on this yacht. It was a very unique experience. My kids said it was like glamping on the water. The weather was great and we could walk to see the 4th of July fireworks at the end of the marina pier. It’s close to restaurants and just a 15 minute walk to lighthouse beach.

I thought the boat was comfortable, but my husband said it felt like "camping" - mostly because he didn't like using the common bathroom and we were afraid to use too much of the boat's water supply by trying to shower on the boat. I had no issues with using the common bathroom - it was clean and had great water pressure and hot water.

Obviously marine living is a bit different...I thought the boat was quite comfortable. We enjoyed the common room upstairs - my daughter was using the futon so that room above the kitchen was just like her bedroom.

Internet reception was pretty poor and spotty which was a bit of a problem, since we were both trying to get some work done.

If I had to be really picky, I'd say that it would be nice to have thicker towels, more of them, and some hand towels for the bathroom. There was no bath soap provided (we just bought some body wash and split that up). I felt like we used lots of paper towels to dry stuff in the kitchen as there was no dish towel. There was no bowl in the kitchen either (bigger than a cereal bowl) which made washing dishes a little more challenging - since there's no hot water there, I would heat up water with the electric kettle and try to put utensils/dishes in a sauce pot with hot water and soap to wash them.

Finally, it would really be nice to have a few hooks in the bedrooms to hang towels, a robe, etc. There is adequate wall space for them ...

All in all, our stay was nice. It was quiet, and not much other boat traffic (and diesel fumes). Guest parking was always available.

Thank you!

We had wonderful family time aboard the boat. Very relaxing and loved playing with the chess and Chinese checkers provided to end a perfect day. It was perfect for our family of four. Thank you
