What guests think
Yacht Haven offers a unique houseboat stay with clean, comfortable units, friendly staff, tranquil water views and wildlife, a convenient Marathon location near groceries and restaurants, plus free kayaks and bikes and access to a nearby pool and beach.
Common tradeoffs include compact layouts, occasional rocking, and inconsistent Wi-Fi or TV; some guests also noted firm beds, noisy bedroom AC, basic kitchens without ovens, roosters at night, and surprise cleaning fees. Onsite boat rentals are a highlight for many. Expect a peaceful, quirky stay on the water rather than a full-service resort.

Very peaceful. Plenty of room. Like glamping on the water. We used grill and had plenty of room for guests. Viewed fireworks from sombrero beach staying on the property. Convenient to publix and gas station.

We wanted to do something different and came across the aqua lodges at Yacht Haven. The staff at the marina were very helpful and friendly which made check-in and checkout a breeze. The property was just as the photos detailed. Very clean, new, great location for moving around the town. We rented a boat onsite and they had bikes, kayaks and paddle boards available. The aqua lodges had all the essentials you need. It was nice to relax on the back deck and watch the sunset. Be mindful, the Keys have random roosters and chickens roaming and they can be a little noisy at night but otherwise quiet location. We experienced the same in Key West on this trip as well. Also, staff do a great job with making sure all the essentials you may need are stocked in the bathroom. Keep in mind this is a houseboat and the water heater is small and it is a marine toilet. We will stay again if we travel back to the Keys!

We loved our stay at the Yacht Haven Marina. Staff was friendly, helpful and communicated well. The houseboat was large and comfortable and situated in a beautiful and quiet bay despite the convenient location off the highway and close to grocery store and restaurants. No pool, but full access to pool and beach at Cabana Club (5 min drive) was a wonderful surprise. Bikes and Kayaks free to use. Boats had all the amenities we needed. a/c worked great and was welcome. Would have rated this a 5/5 if it weren't for 1) the poor internet connection and lack of cable TV (but honestly we weren't really here for that anyway), 2) the pillows were a little hard and uncomfortable (also realize being very nit-picky here), and 3) be aware that it can get a little stinky when cleaning out the septic systems on the boats, but this didn't linger long and also wasn't a big deal.

We saw a manatee right at our boathouse so that was great. It didn’t have an oven so that was interesting making dinners especially since the BBQs didn’t have propane and when we got a tank we couldn’t use it because we needed a wrench to open the valve. It was centrally located in the Keys, so that made for easy traveling. We enjoyed ourselves.

Cosy, comfy and surprisingly roomy “little” houseboat. Two queen sized beds plus a mattress on the loft provided good sleeping options for our family of two adults and two teens. We stayed in No. 10 and enjoyed the views of the canal from the terrace both morning and sunset. Use of bikes and kayaks is free of charge, and there is complimentary access to a local beach club with swimming pool. In short, Yacht Haven Marina provides very good value in the Florida Keys.

We enjoyed our stay here. Pros: houseboat is roomy, good air conditioning, plenty of pots and pans, dishes. Coffee pot available. Had extras of towels including beach towels at the main office. Being able to access the cabana beach club (ten minutes away) was a great plus as they have a beautiful pool and private beach access. The best part of the boat is having the manatees come by. Cons: you are not allowed to fish off the actual boat and I rented this so my husband could easily fish. It does not state on the listing that fishing is not allowed in the boat. Cleaning fee is a bit steep for no daily housekeeping service.

The staff were professional and caring. The view from our unit was spectacular! We encountered dolphins and manatee every evening. Units are spacious- 2 queen and loft bed upstairs. It comes with a kitchen- stove top, microwave, refrigerator and some pots/pans. Few improvements would be nice- full size working coffee pot and floors cleaned. I saw another review about black going everywhere and they were right. My family had black on the bottom of their feet/my toddler black on his face. There has to be an eco friendly cleaner that can clean/sanitize the floor. Other than that the unit was amazing! Beautiful sunsets and close to everything

STAY HERE! Do NOT stay in a “traditional hotel” while on the keys. Absolutely, hands down, the best room/stay/sleep/temporary home I’ve been in for 20+ years. The best was the cleanliness. Yes, the room cleaning was a little expensive for a short stay, but to me, it was worth it. If I was staying 3+ days in Marathon, this would be a steal. Clean. Cool. Tidy. And even through the surrounding homes were obviously vacation rentals, the used and boisterous folks calmed down before too late. The only criticism was not their fault - at 6:00 AM on Monday morning, the businesses next door had the leaf blowers going. But inside was not obtrusive to all but the lightest sleeper.

We really like the ability to cook simple meals inside and that groceries are nearby. The kayaks are in good condition; however, the bicycles are a bit warn by the salt air. People are friendly around the area. The negative is the wifi (non-existent) for us. I had to buy more data just to complete some tasks. The TV reception was very spotty, so bring some cards to entertain yourself after sunset.

We enjoyed our stay. Loved many things about Yacht Haven. Watching manatees from the boathouse was an interesting way to start the day. Many lovely sunsets across the water. The rooms are cramped. In my opinion more appropriate for a couple than a family. We wished the very cramped second bedroom with room for only a double bed and a 2’ passage to the bathroom had been turned into a small extra sitting area. All in all we recommend the accommodation.

Staying on a houseboat was very unique. The boat was cute, very clean and cozy. Unfortunately we barely slept the first night due to the super loud air conditioning unit in the bedroom. The second night we ended sleeping on the pull out trundle couch/bed so we wouldn't have to suffer another night. Unfortunately the pull out was very hard and barely large enough for two adults.

First we love the originality, then the cleanliness and comfort. The boathouses are compact but extremely comfortable. We will continue staying here when we come down to the Keys!

TV options was limited-we brought our Box but WiFi did not support using-used hot spot off phone. Really enjoyed our stay and would book again.

This place was super cool and had a great view! It cooled down in the evening and it was so nice to sit on our patio and watch a storm roll in. I do get motion sickness so it was a little rocky, but I got used to it a little better the second day. The bed was a little too hard for us and not super comfy, but I would say that was the only con. The owner had an adorable puppy I got to hold as well at check-in & check-out! We also accidentally lost track of time and they were kind enough to give us an extra 30 minutes to get out of there.

Only complaint is a extra cleaning fee we were told about at check in that was not mentioned at the time of booking. The hiden fee was a surprise at check in and the check in person stated that this fee was not accurately demonstrated on a lot of booking sites. Other than that fee, the house boat was perfect and in a fantastic location.

Jolena, Tom, and other staff were friendly and great. The boathouse was an awesome experience. We enjoyed our morning coffee time outside the boathouse balcony watching outburst of mullets every 15-20 minutes. We got a text at 10:30am stating that our boathouse was ready already, but due to traffic we were not able to get there until 4:30pm. Jolena, kept in contact with me the whole time. Upon arriving to our boathouse, when we flushed out our toilet, flies started coming out. The door knob was broken as well. The next day, we reported it and Tom promptly fixed all of it. We also had a wonderful time when we rented a boat. I have been raving about my experience to my friends and I highly recommend Yacht Haven Marina.

The property is nice. From the website our expectations were high. Would like to give a better review but the beds and pillows killed it. The bed might have been the most uncomfortable I’ve ever slept in. The pillows were so hard and overstuffed. My neck and back really hurt the next morning. The cleaning fee charged seemed a little high as well. I give this 2 1/2 stars out of 5

We loved our stay at the Yacht Haven Marina. Staff was friendly, helpful and communicated well. The houseboat was large and comfortable and situated in a beautiful and quiet bay despite the convenient location off the highway and close to grocery store and restaurants. No pool, but full access to pool and beach at Cabana Club (5 min drive) was a wonderful surprise. Bikes and Kayaks free to use. Boats had all the amenities we needed. a/c worked great and was welcome. Would have rated this a 5/5 if it weren't for 1) the poor internet connection and lack of cable TV (but honestly we weren't really here for that anyway), 2) the pillows were a little hard and uncomfortable (also realize being very nit-picky here), and 3) be aware that it can get a little stinky when cleaning out the septic systems on the boats, but this didn't linger long and also wasn't a big deal.

We had a great stay and the property is cute and clean. The staff was amazing and made us feel very welcome. Our only complaint, which really can't be helped, is the amount of noise from the continuous overhead traffic of helicopters. We were thrilled to see dolphins and manatees right there in the cove.

Absolutely loved the properly and location. The house boat is very clean and unique. The colour scheme even matches so uniquely together. Sitting out looking at the water is very tranquil. We loved the property and would definitely book again

Surprised to drive up and see it was directly behind the grocery store, but once we settled in, we found it to be a very comfortable and relatively quiet experience. The marina and property are very nice and clean. The beds were very comfortable. Enjoyed the greetings from the manatees during our morning coffee. Great location. Enjoyed Sombrero Beach and farmers market. Didn’t mind the roosters.

Absolute hidden gem. Watched the water burst with life right off our balcony. Manatees, dolphins, tarpon, explosions of baitfish trying to get away. Hard to leave and do anything else.

Fantastic stay! So glad we booked here! It was magical, we all really enjoyed the clean relaxing vibe of the marina, it was in a good location to get to all the activities we had planned for our trip in Florida keys! I was sad to leave after a four night stay! Book it! My husband was not convinced when I showed him the house boat online but he was so glad I did as soon as we arrived ⭐️
