Worth every penny to a rock’n roll 65 year old sailor who loves Steve Miller, cool old school and things done right! - it doesn’t get any better. Remember though, it’s a boat…

Our group of Wisconsin gals enjoyed our two nights aboard the Eagle. It was so nice to wake up to sunrise right over the water in the harbor. We enjoyed being able to walk to coffee, shops and restaurants. The weather was outstanding in mid-Sept, yet all the kayak rental places were closed for the season. If there was a way to include or even add on kayaks available for use, that would have been stellar. I realize not everyone enjoys paddling, but it could be a nice amenity offered, even as a surcharge with waiver! My only other suggestion would be to try to hide a semi full length mirror in maybe one of the closets if possible, but I understand space is an issue. We were appreciative of the two bathrooms and two bedrooms, which was one of the reasons I chose this accommodation. Definitely a unique stay that had more space than one hotel room too!

We were in Gig Harbor for the weekend for a family reunion. The Eagle was the perfect choice for five of us from across the country to stay.
The welcome packet was great!
Any questions we had, Cheryl was quick to respond.
It was so relaxing and enjoyable. The berth at the end of the dock was ideal! We were visited by Canadian geese daily and a seal on our final morning.
Next time I want to get away for some R&R, I would definitely stay on The Eagle.

We rented the Eagle to accommodate our out of town wedding party. We also utilized the boat for the bridal party/ myself the bride to get ready on the day of the wedding. It was an AMAZING addition to our wedding day and everyone including our photographer loved the history of the boat. The large blue coach made for the perfect back drop to our getting ready photos and really comfortable for all the ladies to hang out. I live locally only about five minutes from the Harbor, but staying on the boats felt like a vacation away from home. So much room with private bedrooms as well to accommodate for a larger group. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay and making our wedding even more wonderful!

Beautiful stay. Took my 6 year old son who wanted to stay on the water. I stay short term rentals all the time and this is by far the best managed property I have stayed in. Responce was unbelievably good and we are so happy. We'll be back anytime we are in the area.

We really enjoyed our stay on "The Eagle".
We had six in our group including our 90 year old mother-in-law.
She had no problems accessing the boat.
It was much bigger than I was expecting. There was plenty of room for all six of us to sleep and the living room/kitchen was large enough for us all to sit and use.
We were in easy walking distance to many of the GH restaurants and activities.
We would rent this again.

Fantastic Property. Great area completely safe, walkable restaurants and bars, beautiful views. Me and my two sisters, and we all had a seperate sleeping space. One of us terrified of water and boats and she loved it. Almost no motion and you feel safe so do not let the fear of water stop you from staying here. It was delightful and the touch of nostalgia made this stay so memorable! On this trip it was our favorite space!

We stay at allot of STR's and this one was one of the very best! The boat was very roomy and had all we needed. Every day we went out to explore but totally enjoyed each morning and evening sipping wine, listening to the sounds of the harbor and having a great time. Very friendly people everywhere. Highly recomend this for a quiet and peaceful stay!

Right in the middle of all that the Harbor offers... very clean and updated interior on this boat - fridge and freezer, ice machine, coffee, extra linens. I slept in the wheel house which had exceptional cross ventilation and a 360 degree view of the harbor lights at night. Cheryl was a fantastic host.

Experiences are the best gifts
Our son has missed three birthdays being in the military and this time it fell on good calendar to do something fun together and we needed to stay local. Yet, we wanted to have something that felt like going away with a twist of new experience. This was not only new to him, but all of our group and made memories we will remember for years to come! The yacht was clean, docked parking location was perfect. On the end with great views of the water area. Quiet in the evenings, comfortable overall and we could easily get to places we wanted to explore. I would highly recommend the Eagle to friends and will have it on our list for future ideas for an easy get away!

Yacht Living
What made this stay unique was the adventure of staying on a yacht previously owned by Steve Miller. We have an RV and are familiar with living in small places but were pleasantly surprised with all the room. We were perfectly positioned for the Tuesday night concert in the park which posed some parking challenges. Cheryl was a great host, very responsive to our requests.

The whole experience was perfect! Even when we had a few small issues, Cheryl was very prompt when responding and got the issues fixed before the end of the day. We were very pleased that the yacht was very clean also. Very pleasant getaway and it was the perfect place! Definitely would recommend reserving with the Gig Harbor Marina if you want to visit Gig Harbor!

My family has stayed on the Eagle at least five times now, this is our second Thanksgiving in a row, my daughters are all grown up but we make the choice to share Thanksgiving on the Eagle because at heart we are all boat-people. The management team for the boat are remarkable, communicative, ultra helpful and always treating us like family, not just customers. The ship is delightful, everything that was great about the ‘70’s is wrapped up in that beautiful ship. It’s ALWAYS like home and ALWAYS the greatest joy to spend time on her.
Thanks so much for every moment!

Cute town, beautiful view, fun accommodations
My girlfriends and I stayed for a long weekend. The boat was the reason for choosing Gig Harbor such a unique stay. The beds were comfortable and plenty of space in the gallery kitchen. Only wish was for more outdoor space. Host was great to work with and the marina staff were wonderful!

First of all, the marina couldn't be more centrally located. You will never need a car. Everyone in and around the marina was super friendly. Cheryl was super helpful and responsive as well as the team. We had a few issues. 1), they scheduled an upgrade of electric panel while we were there (first day). We had a repairman working right outside the boat for a good half of the day which was a bit disruptive. Because they were working on this, we didn't have WifI which meant I couldn't check email and work as I had promised I would do. After work was finished, I assumed I would have WIfi, I didn't. Turns out the password we were given didn't work but Cheryl came to the rescue, put in the proper credentials and off I went. TV with Netflix, etc. never worked despite Cheryl and team working on it so that was a minus for sure. Despite all this, I would rent the boat again and kudos to Cheryl and her team for doing the best they could to help.

What a fun alternative to staying in a hotel while visiting family in the area! The whole family looked forward to coming back to the boat at the end of the day to rest and relax with such a beautiful view and so close to downtown! Will definitely stay again!
