A PIECE OF THE SEA,,,,

Hello! And thanks so much for your interest in our Sas-sea at sea. Also, please make sure that you've read the description thoroughly! BOAT STAYS ANCHORED. Our Sas-Sea at sea is an older boat, but she has all the systems/functions that you'll need to have a great stay! We will mention, that if your picky, high maintenance, or needy, that this may not be the adventure for you, but that there should likely be a Hilton or Marriott down the road for three times the price, that will have a mint on your pillow for you :-). Furthermore, this adventure has proven to be most satisfying for kids 60 and under :-) The boat is located about 3/4 mi away from the base marina. She's anchored in a beautiful cove, where often times you will have Manatee and dolphin come to say hi!! She has an abundantly stocked galley, with various seasonings, Olive oil, coffee, filters, etc.. the generator on the boat will supply ample power for whatever you required to cook, ac, coffee, toaster oven. It's design however, is not to run 24 hours a day. We supply you with 8 hours/ day, of run time on the generator, anything in excess of that we leave up to you to cover expenses for. That, helps us keep our costs down, translating into a much cheaper stay for you!!! The Captain's quarters, in front of the boat, offer a comfortable queen size bed for your hrs of shut eye :-) The bathroom has a camper type porta- potty, and shower for rinsing off ( not heated), however there are hot showers back at the base Marina. the boat has a nice stainless steel grill on the back, for you to enjoy cooking your favorites on) included with the boat, comes a double kayak, or for a little extra, let us know, and we can reserve a dinghy with motor for you! ( please see description pictures). Thanks again for choosing our boat, where you can look forward to spending a relaxing, decompressing time on our Sas-Sea at sea!!! cheers!! Fyi, we also offer greatly discounted sunset/eco tours and Beach / backwater fishing outtings on a 21' deckboat:)! see ya soon!!
address is 299 Morris Ave, Pelican kay Campground btw.

Great escape

We had a wonderful stay, it was short but it was wonderful. The boat was everything you need to get away from the busy world we all live in. We had another guy from marks boats stop over and show us a fishing spot. And it’s like nothing you have ever seen before. Overall it’s a great experience that we will definitely want to do again.

Great adventure

Mark was a great host. My son and I loved staying in the peaceful cove. Having the dingy was great allowing us to explore small beaches and the mangrove rivers. Weather was perfect for us too. Couldn't have been more special.

Overnight stay on our way down the Keys…

The boat was exactly what we wanted where we wanted it…nice secluded cove with only a few other boats around. The weather was as perfect as the sunset over the mangroves. Mark was the perfect host, giving us a quick tutorial on running the dinghy and more than enough water and ice for the night. It was one of my wife’s favorite nights that week! Thank for everything Mark - we will be sure to come back if the opportunity arises :)

Peaceful and Perfect

This was the perfect vacation for us! We stayed there 3 nights. So peaceful out on the water in Mark's boat! It has everything you need and Mark is the best host! He checks on you to see if you have everything you need. We enjoyed fishing and swimming right off the boat and exploring the Everglades at a nearby park. We saw manatees and dolphins near the boat. If you're someone who loves to experience God's beautiful creation first hand, this is the trip for you! I highly recommend Mark's boat!

The boat was comfy and located in a peaceful cove. If your adventurous, and, like the description states, not expecting the Hilton, you'll love it. Oh, and if your exceptionally sensitive to mosquitoes, a good number of them found us. There's bug spray on the boat, but may want to bring some of your own too. Our host Mark was very responsive, and helped to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises!

Our stay on the ocean

We thought it was wonderful and unique. If you aren’t ok with bare bones accommodation and “roughing it,” this isn’t for you. If you are up for something unique, sleeping on the ocean, possibly seeing dolphins, and catching some rays, this would be for you. We aren’t fishermen but this would be heaven if you are a fisherman!

Bring your bug spray Florida's mosquitoes come out at night I wish we could have stayed longer but as a transporter it's go go go. I will be back for sure Thanks for everything

A beautiful outdoors adventure

It was our first time in Key Largo and it was an absolute beautiful time on Manatee Mark's boat for a three day stay. Definitely more for the outdoorsy type with kayaking, fishing, and the water being right outside your bedroom. Mark checked on us through out our stay to make sure we were okay with the boat and happy about our stay as well as wonderfull communication up until the moment we checked in. We will say this space is definitely for people that love the outdoors, open space, and the water.

Camping

My wife and I had an absolute pleasure staying on Marks boat! She’s an older, but well kept boat. The sunsets and sunrises, with our coffee, were breathtaking! The cove where the boat is moored, is absolute heaven :-) in the evening, we often had dolphin, and Manatee locals visit us,Almost in a welcoming way! We will definitely be back again! Thank you so much Mark for making our stay a true 10 out of 10!

Our stay

Excellent communication with the owner, any questions we had he was more than happy to answer. Anytime we called and needed anything he was always available and able to accommodate. Excellent experience and location. We are looking forward to next years trip already! It is definitely an experience I am very happy to have had with my family. Beautiful ride out to the boat, and it was very clean and exactly what he had described it to be. I know online booking is a hit or miss and this was definitely a hit!

Fun Boat Adventure

This spot is very unique and a bit rugged. Getting to the boat may be a bit stressful and take a while as you have to drive a little dinghy to the boat, but it makes for a fun adventure! The boat itself is quaint, reminiscent of tent camping. Mark is very nice and easy to communicate with. We had to cut our trip a bit short and he was very considerate and helpful.

Unplug and Enjoy the Sunset!

Manatee Mark exceeded every expectation! Definitely the Host With the Most, Mark was kind and accommodating (and beyond) allowing us to truly enjoy an off shore break with reality like we had never had before. The water was perfect for a dip off the end of the boat. Enjoyed a grilled, boat top dinner and wine while watching the sunrise. After a still nights sleep on the water, enjoyed coffee while the sun came up and warmed the cove surrounding us. The sounds of fish jumping and the clear sky (perfect for star watching!) added to the High Zen Level. Bonus for our stay: Full Moon!! We're headed back as soon as we can...

Pirate life! Spending a night on this boat was really unique. The bay is very peaceful, and the sunset/sunrise were impressive. For an adult of average height, the water is shallow enough to touch the bottom. Read the description before booking, because this is more rustic than getting a hotel room. As campers, this was right up our alley. The host left bug spray and drinking water on board for us. I suggest upgrading to the dinghy if you have familiarity with small water craft, it’s just faster and more convenient than the kayak. All said, very pleased with the experience and I plan to book again in the future.

Great weekend away

This is a great boat in a great location. Boats sits out in a quiet Bay that all you hear is the wind and the water if you choose. Not a big boat but had enough space for everyone. Comes with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Mark was a great host who checked on us multiple times a day to make sure we had what we needed. Only down side was the bugs. Mark was quick to bring what we needed to keep them at Bay. If your looking for a smaller space and away from all the hustle of everyday life this is the perfect spot for you. Loved the adventure and the host was top notch!

Weather cancelled

The rating is really not appropriate since we were unable to stay at all. A significant rain storm forced us to cancel and there was no availability to reschedule for the next day so we lost our payment. Mark was kind, and certainly can’t control the weather, so just be aware this adventure is at the whim of Mother Nature.

a little slice heaven on the water

I had an amazing stay. Mark was an absolute wonderful person, so attentive, very helpful, I never felt that there wasn't help nearby. The boat was a great place to sit and read and just be a part of the sea for a little while. It's an older boat, it isn't shiny or glamorous, it is a space to lay your head and prepare for the next days adventure. I found it to be a lot like camping, which for me was nothing to worry about, some may not feel that way. Go expecting to get out with as much as you put in, see things not for what they are in front of you, but how they can enrich your experience. I will go back, if not just for the views in the bay or the rest of the keys but the charm.

Two Sassy girls on the Sas sea.

To start with Captain Mark was very much a gentleman. He helped up with our bags to the boat. He was very accomodating with things we will need. He was also informative on the dos and donts and then how to do the dos. He said he had faith in me :). His communication skills as well as personality skills were above normal. In all Captain Mark is a great guy that cares about his clientele. We will be looking forward to spending some more time on the Sas Sea and seeing Captain Mark again. He not only was knowledgeable with the boat but guided us with where to go and enjoy some night life. Thank you Captain Mark cant wait to see you again. Terri and Robin The Ohio girls :)
