Liveaboard fun

Really enjoyed our stay on the Nebi. If you've never stayed on a boat before, there may be a couple of things to get used to like the small bathrooms (aka the head) and little kitchenette, but overall it was quite comfortable. Great way to get a taste of boat life.

Great Experience!

We had a great experience staying on the boat. It was special having morning coffee on deck while watching the sea birds. The accommodations and location are excellent. Great restaurants on and near the dock. Olga and Chip are wonderful. Their instructions on board the boat made everything easy. We will stay there again in the future.

Need TLC

The boat was very comfortable. But could use a little TLC the exterior was a little rough. The interior was as expected no surprises here except when you opened up the main berth closet. There are damp smelly cushions from outdoors being stored inside that reek. several light bulbs need replaced throughout. The Plastic coffee cups make your coffee taste like plastic and need replacing. There is no Television or internet access so you are not even able to stream movies if you have your lap top. In our opinion the boat should be rotated 180 degrees on the dock so when you are using the aft deck you can enjoy the scenery not the other boat and the bar view.
