The boat was clean, everything was operational, and amenities were close by. It's docked right next to The Docks restaurant, which was phenomenal. The location was great with only a short 10 minute ride into key west. 10/10 would come stay here again!

It was just as advertised! It worked great for my family.

The boat was exactly as described. It was a perfect location for our adventures into Key West. We were only 0.4 mile from the public bus stop - which we caught several days. Also never waited more than a few minutes when we took Uber. We ate at The Docks and Hogfish - both very close by. And at El Siboney, a Cuban restaurant about 0.7 miles away. Two nights we lounged on the bow of the boat after sunset and enjoyed musicians playing at The Docks. Someone in a previous review commented about the neighborhood. It is a working marina neighborhood - not condos or luxury resorts. However we walked through the neighborhood to the bus stop and Dions Quik stop several times and always felt safe. We are 60+ backpackers who prefer this type of unique stay. I would not recommend for anyone expecting luxury accommodations or with mobility issues.

Ralph was wonderful in checking us in and showing us the boat. The marina is great and cozy with great food spots nearby where the locals gather to eat (so you know the food is great!). The boat is older, so if you really need luxury/modern comfort this may not be for you. If you're looking for something different, off the beaten path, with short distance/cheap Uber ride to downtown, this is it!

The marina was beautiful as well as all available amenities. Transportation (included) was available from the hotel on property to Key West (downtown and Higgs Beach.) The charter boat accommodations would be great for a bunch of guys to stay in. The ladies might think it is somewhat tired, requiring nicer touches. The boat sleeps 6, but I would not suggest for a family. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

The host was very nice and easy to communicate with. This boat is perfect for a guys trip is the plan is fishing and sleeping. Otherwise I would not recommend for multiple couples or even a romantic getaway. The Marina is beautiful with great amenities but be prepared for a rustic fish camp kind of stay when you chose this boat.

We knew going in that this was a boat… basically an older camper on the water where you can’t flush toilet paper and it’s tighter quarters than a hotel. I’ve seen some reviews here where I wonder if they read the description fully… but since this is what we wanted this was absolutely perfect. The host is great and very accommodating and responsive. This boat made our trip memorable and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for this experience. The location is great too, the hotel is right there with a pool and bar and the marina has cute little shops that fit about anything you can need.

My sister, mom and I we’re coming in to Key West for one night. This was a perfect find. We wanted something unique that would allow us to do our exploring. Check in was easy. There was access to the hotel amenities pool etc. and a great coffee shop- Great Lakes Roasting Company just down at the other end of the Marina.
Fun experience.

I am really sad to say that the best part of staying on the boat was the location. Y knot charters is really old and quite musty. The beds were comfortable but we had use of the hotel bathrooms and the marina .baths was a positive.. ? We also had access to the hotel, the Perry hotel, and the oyster House bar. And that might have ranged are viewpoint of The oyster house bar and grill.

My friends and I stayed at the Yknot fishing boat for a long weekend getaway. Great amenities, beautiful location, and the resort and its bathrooms were very clean. The shuttle was excellent and everybody was extremely kind within the resort. Things to consider… This truly is as stated by the owner a fishing charter boat. Things that we would bring to stay again: Our own bedding, pillows, towels, and a cooler full of ice to make drinks. Host is very willing to help out with any questions or concerns that you have during your stay. Very easy to talk to and responds quickly to texts and phone calls.

Sadly, this stay wasn’t the romantic getaway we wanted. This is an old fishing boat that isn’t kept up. You can’t cook on this boat…coffee is about it. However, you can use the pool and restaurants beside the marina.
The loud Airport jets passing overhead and dock noises prevent any peaceful sleep.
The all night creaking against the dock and the bunk bed atmosphere isn’t conducive to 70 year olds seeking comfort and a peaceful atmosphere.
Would only recommend this accommodation to young kids who want to “camp”.

We would stay gain on YKnot. It is a fishing charter boat not a luxury yacht which was perfect for us. The location of this boat is PERFECT. There are 2 pools (one of them right in front of the boat. Bath house, multiple restrooms, gym and 3 restaurants all within walking distance. You can use the free shuttle to downtown Key West, if you like. Good time all around. Would highly recommend. A+++++++ .

My husband and I came to key west for our 2 year anniversary. First time here. Wanted a experience that wasn't at a pricey location. The yknot is like camping in a camper but on the water. We had full access to the perry hotel which is heated at 80 year round. Matt's stock island restaurant has amazing breakfast every morning. The showers at the marina are nice and big with plenty of hot water. We came to key west to see key west not stay in a room all day. If you want that may want to stay somewhere else. The boat is clean and had plenty of linens and towels. Super quiet at night and in the morning besides the roosters waking you up. Overall I would stay here again for the experience. It's a beautiful marina that's well kept. The boat is a boat that's sleeps probably 6 adults comfortably. Stay here and spend your money that you would be spending somewhere else seeing all the sights in key west. There are alot of them.

This boat is awesome and the surrounding facility is even better. It felt like camping in a cabin that bounced around a little. I would stay here again!!

This boat is located in an amazing spot. The marina is wonderful, restaurants/bars fabulous, beautiful hotel, service in the restaurants and hotel absolutely top-notch, easy access to Duval Street. But the boat is filthy. The listing states that it is sanitized and cleaned with disinfectant. When we arrived, I cleaned the counters in the galley and the sponge was black. No one had cleaned that boat for weeks, maybe longer. There was mold in the sleeping quarters and the hatch leaked -- a problem since it rained several times during our stay. I was afraid I would get sick, so we ended up renting a room at the Perry Hotel, which was pricey but worth every penny. Great hotel. Stay there instead!

This was perfect for my group of friends who needed to just get away from reality for a few days. Imagine camping on a boat is about what it’s like. Away from the hustle and bustle of Key West but close enough to commute back and forth. I would definitely stay again.

Sleep on the Water
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Never slept on a boat and it was fun. Location in the marina was great. The boat is anchored like 30 feet from the Perry Hotel which had good food and a daily happy hour. The boat owner has an agreement with the hotel so we had access to the large pool and the free hourly shuttle to downtown Key West which is a major Plus. Owner was hands on and had written instructions on everything. Refrigerator had complimentary water, soft drinks and food.
