Our 61 foot yacht is conveniently located in downtown Providence just a stone’s throw from Brown University, Waterfire, the East side and Davol Square. Our marina is also host to three major Providence hot spots for dinning and nightlife including the Whiskey Republic, Lola’s and The HOT CLUB. We offer an alternative to conventional hotels in the local providence area by offering overnight stays aboard our fully furnished, 61 foot motoryacht. Our yacht, a Geerd Hendel 61, was custom built for a member of the DuPont family and is available to select customers for single to multi-night stays. Our yacht provides a floating experience aboard a classic, well appointed motoryacht. Our yacht offers the following features: • Sun-Filled 3rd Level Salon with 360 degree views of the city • Full Aft Deck area perfect for drinks with friends • Master Bedroom complete with Queen Size Bed and full bathroom • Fully functional kitchen with mini- fridge/freezer, 4-burner stove and oven • Guest quarters including 2 twin beds and separate full bathroom (hammock and inflatable bed available in upper salon to accommodate 2-3 more people for overnight stays - additional $50 per extra guest, maximum 6 guests total) -Teak and Holly floor has been laid to replace the older cork floor as a response to customer feedback but is weathered - Air conditioning unit have been placed in the master bedroom ; guest bedroom has a fan - Private end- dock removed from the marina traffic and restaurants - Included with each stay is overnight parking, all marina/dockage fees and cleaning services. Please note that guests should bring their own Bluetooth Sound system if they wish to have music on board. We offer different rates depending on the season and depending on the occasion. Our standard summer rates reflect an occupancy of 4 people maximum for overnight stays. 6 people maximum could stay overnight with the additional cost of $50 per extra guest. For guests looking to have a larger gathering, we offer a 'Function' rate which reflects having a larger crowd aboard. Function rates apply to parties where there are more than 8 visitors at any one time. Our yacht is also perfect for special functions including reunions, photo shoots for weddings and corporate events. Please ask about our special rate for larger functions of up to 20 guests. Due to the wear and tear on the boat and the increased water/electrical usage by having more people aboard, we also reflect that in the rate and appreciate your understanding in this matter. Please review our rates to see what fits your budget. WHAT TO EXPECT 1. This is a VERY unique experience and I offer to guests that would have an appreciation for its uniqueness. 2. This boat is not in Bristol condition – it is almost 50 years old and is weathered – so please do not expect it to be perfect 3. This is a BOAT, not a house!! Living on a boat requires a high degree of accommodation and flexibility and it is not at all similar to a house so please bear that in mind if you are going to make a booking 4. This experience is NOT expensive for what I’m offering – the weekday prices under $200 for the night and you’re in the middle of downtown Providence in a city on a yacht at the end of a dock with one side completely private From all of us at Sleep Aboard, we look forward to having you aboard!
