Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live aboard a boat and have a great home base for all your adventures in midcoast Maine? Step aboard your private yacht, Mazu, a luxurious 42 foot floating vacation rental, a Bed and Boat, that rides the tides of the scenic Damariscotta River, and experience a unique boating adventure without ever leaving the dock. No previous boating experience required. The use of two kayaks and a canoe is included. The space Mazu is named after the Chinese goddess of the sea who is said to protect fishermen and sailors. The 42-foot boat features elegant bedding, a sleek kitchen, and spacious decks for sunning and entertaining. Two private staterooms are perfect for four guests, but with an additional sofa bed in the main salon, Mazu can accommodate up to five guests. In the magnificent aft Captain's Cabin, with a king-size bed and private head (WC) and shower, you can stretch out and relax. The roomy forepeak stateroom, V-berth, features a queen-size bed, a large hanging locker, and head. The large galley (kitchen) is open so the chef is never isolated from salon conversation. The cheerful dinette, , seats up to six adults comfortably. The spacious Main Salon (living room) provides an elegant setting for entertaining. Huge wrap-around windows flood the room with light, painting an ever-changing seascape. A sofa here can convert to a double bed. Mazu is docked right in the village, two minutes from Route 1; and parking is free. Please note that the yacht stays docked during your entire stay. The boat is strictly an animal free zone due to severe allergies. Guest access You will have access to the whole yacht. It's only rented to one party at a time. We will greet you upon arrival to introduce you to the particulars of staying on a boat, a process about 15 minutes. We’ll ensure you are comfortably settled and offer information about the area, things to do, places to eat, etc. Then we will leave you in peace. But we are only minutes away and will be available to assist you with any questions or concerns that may come up. Other things to note Children: I'd also like you to be aware that Mazu is a fully functioning yacht with a lot of buttons to turn, push, twist and switch. All children are welcome but they must be supervised at all times. I want all my guests to have a relaxing vacation.
