About this property

Cozy Vintage Yacht -- Walk to Neyland + Free Parking

Climb aboard this cozy 32′ vintage cabin cruiser and enjoy beautiful river views, outdoor seating, and easy access to downtown Knoxville!

The main sleeping area is a unique V-shaped bed at the bow on the boat that comfortably sleeps two adults. A curtain separates this area from the rest of the cabin for privacy.

Additional sleeping spaces include a convertible futon and a convertible dinette, each slightly larger than a twin, suitable for one adult or child.

You’ll also have a kitchenette stocked with a mini-fridge, microwave, hot plate, toaster, and coffee maker. A stocked coffee bar, pots & pans, spices, and a variety of cooking utensils ensure you'll have all the essentials ready for you!

The bathroom is a compact but thoughtfully equipped wet-head-- where the shower and toilet share one efficient space. To make your stay even more comfortable, we provide biodegradable body wash, shampoo, and conditioner—perfect for freshening up while also being gentle on the water and environment.

I enjoyed this unique stay! Excellent location, convenient walk to Neyland Stadium, and in a safe area with restaurants nearby. I loved being right on the river with stunning views and the opportunity to see some nearby wildlife from the dock. The yacht was cute, clean, comfortable, and functional - very steady and hardly any rocking from waves. The host was friendly, communicative, and accommodating. Will definitely stay here again!

We loved this unique experience. The vintage yacht is very clean.. The host has everything you would ever need for your stay.. All you will need to bring is your clothes. The host provides more than you would get from a hotel.. It is a bit of a walk from the parking but we enjoyed the walk and the parking was free which is not the case anywhere else in the city.. We will definitely do this again..

The yacht was awesome for me and my sons. We had a great time fishing, hanging out on the deck enjoying the views, and playing board games. The kitchen had just enough of all the essentials and the beds were comfortable. Snacks and coffee were a nice touch too! Location to access UT is very convenient. The walk to F dock is a bit lengthy and the shower is a pretty tight fit, but it added to the adventure and we had a few good laughs along the way! No complaints!! Lauren was a fantastic host and a great communicator too. Thank you!! We'd come back for another stay on the yacht!
