What should I consider when staying on a boat?
While boats have a lot of charm, not all offer a lot of space, and sometimes bedrooms (whether staterooms or berths) can even be claustrophobic with very limited square footage. Be sure to ask the host questions about the size of the rooms if you have concerns.
Not all boats have super-small living quarters, though. Houseboats, for example, will tend to offer more room to move around than sailboats since they're meant for day-to-day living. Yachts for larger groups can also offer more space.
Be aware that not all boats have full kitchens or showers so be sure to read up on the amenities and what's onboard versus nearby.
How do I find an Airbnb that's a boat?
Type in your initial search criteria on the site's landing page, including the number of guests, destination, and dates (or as much of that as you know).
Then, click "more filters," and scroll down to "unique stays." You'll find a box to check that says "boats," and that will bring up the only boats to your results pages.
What is the Airbnb Enhanced Clean program?
The Airbnb Enhanced Clean is a program for hosts that involves learning and getting certified in strict cleaning protocols. These cover everything from wearing personal protective equipment and what cleaning supplies to use to how to clean between guests. All hosts are now required to follow a stringent cleaning plan outlined by Airbnb as part of the program.
Is it safe to stay in an Airbnb?
The CDC has declared US travel safe for fully vaccinated individuals.
Vacation rentals are also considered safer than hotels by experts, especially completely contained stays like the boats we've outlined. However, it's wise to continue to monitor guidance from the CDC and WHO, and to check state and local guidelines.
