Spacious 52 ft Catamaran for Dockside Stay

DOCKSIDE CATAMARAN STAY IN KEY WEST • 2014 LAGOON 52 • THE PERRY HOTEL & MARINA

Welcome aboard SeaLab, our 2014 Lagoon 52 catamaran, permanently docked at The Perry Hotel & Marina in Key West.

This is a dockside boat stay that blends the experience of living on the water with full access to a resort-style marina and hotel—an ideal option for guests seeking a distinctive Key West accommodation beyond a standard condo or hotel room.

The vessel remains stationary at the dock for the entire stay. Guests enjoy marina views, waterfront breezes, and immediate access to The Perry’s extensive amenities.

Stern Cabin: Private double bed with external-only access for added privacy
Starboard Side
Bow Cabin: Double bed
Midship Cabin: Double bed, ideal for couples or solo travelers

THE EXPERIENCE

This is a true dockside catamaran stay—wake up over the water, enjoy marina views, relax by the pool, and explore Key West with ease.

This is not a luxury yacht charter and not a floating hotel suite. It is a comfortable, character-rich vessel best suited for guests who appreciate boats, marinas, and unique accommodations.

What an amazing experience to stay on a boat. We were a group of 10 and had plenty of space. The access to the hotel amenities were also ideal!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Our stay was much less than we had hoped for. We did not have running water until the last 12 hours, which resulted in much inconvenience having to walk to facilities. I also feel like the owner was less than truthful about the repair process. There was also a horrible smell throughout the boat for our entire stay. As we have a larger family, we had planned to cook some meals on the boat, this was not possible without water… And we definitely did not want to eat with the smell of sewage surrounding us. I understand Marine craft comes with its own set of challenges, however, this accommodation should not be available for rent in the state it is in.
