Great stay, would definitely stay again Positive: Great location, easy to find Negative: Nothing
A dream vacation Positive: We had the most incredible time. The boat felt like luxury from top to bottom. We found the bathrooms on board more than adequate, though my girlfriend did prefer to use the (exceptional) shower block facilities on the dock. The galley was well equipped and had everything we needed. The location and the views were incredible. Any time we needed to message the hosts, the responses were quick and friendly. The dockmasters were an absolute credit to the facility - they were so lovely and helpful. The on site bar / kitchen was great too, though it does close quite early. We had breakfast and coffee one morning and it was exactly what we needed! Lymington itself is a little gem, so many great places to eat and drink. We dined at The Ship Inn and eatPIZZA. eatPIZZA is well worth the price! We can't wait to go back here, it truly was an incredible experience. I will say be aware it's a boat - it's quite tight to get around, everything is compact! But for us, it was perfect. YouTube tour: https://youtu.be/-goaKYiFglo
Positive: Great concept of a 'boatel', beautiful views of the estuary. A great location with amazing peaceful and beautiful evenings just outside the front door! Negative: None
Positive: Beautiful boat in a fantastic location. Loved our stay!
Meget dårlig oplevelse Positive: Beliggenhed. Udendørs overdækket dæk. Roen Negative: Lofthøjde på det ene værelse meget lille og yderligere sænket af et TV. Meget svært at tilgå sengene. Det andet værelse lå man med hovedet op i en kæmpe fladskærm. Hundekoldt og fugtigt. Ingen vand i den ene bruser. Udluftning på toilletter meget støjende og alle blev vækket når en gik på toilet. Vi blev kun een nat trods vi havde booket to
It was brilliant and we plan to return
Positive: Fantastic location and a really high end luxury boat. Really lovely marina with excellent facilities, with really friendly Dock masters on site. Good communication from host and easy check in. Super comfy beds, loads of TVs, everything you could want for a short stay. Negative: Being slightly naive to sleeping on a boat didn't realise that the sound of the water would be so loud in the bedroom lol but that's down to our lack of boat knowledge and no fault of the boat!
Beautiful yacht and delightful location. Positive: The location is exceptional, a very special place, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, lots of sitting space, staff in Dock masters office were delightful. Main cabin is lovely and the shower is really good. Negative: There are 4 very large TVs in the yacht. The one above the double bed would benefit from being removed as it's a bit of a health hazard in a low confined, and fairly dark cabin. The shower attached to the small cabin is impossible to regulate, extremely hot or cold
Lovely boat and fantastic location. The boat was very comfortable and well appointed, but not for those with limited mobility. Lymington is a great holiday destination and we had the added bonus of staying on the water.Only criticism would be too many cushions.
Special Place Positive: This is a very special place to stay. A beautiful boat in a great location with views across to the Isle of Wight, it has everything you need for a comfortable and luxurious stay. Easy to park, quiet with helpful marina staff and responsive hosts Negative: Nothing not to like
Positive: Roof terrace and boat watching
Positive: Great location and lovely views
A great "boat" holiday truly enjoyed by all Positive: We loved the boat, amazed by facilities on board. Great location in marina, allowing a good view. Near to facilities which were very clean. All Marina staff were very friendly. Marina was very short walk to town. Negative: Nothing!
Positive: Perfect for a family weekend. Ticked all the boxes
We had fun and enjoyed our stay. I will recommend it to my friends. Positive: Good views and great location. The owner is very responsive and helpful Negative: The kitchen sink and shower drains the water very slow looks like there is blockage. The tap water in the kitchen is very hot despite we kept it running for some time, making it difficult for us to wash the dishes.
Positive: We were very fortunate with the weather , so it was the perfect break. The boat offers everything you need. It is cosy but luxurious, and the setting is so tranquil and relaxing. Negative: bathroom lamps and fans are noisy but not for too long.
The best view in Lymington, but needs a lot of TLC to keep enjoying it. Positive: Exceptional location and great view Negative: Dirty bathrooms, stained toilet seats, nonsensical plumbing, deficient used water drainage, embarrassing toilet flushing mechanism. Shocking kitchen sink drainage, nonsensical heating/climate system management. Fabulous boat but there is a lot of work to be done on the plumbing to make it more than a one-off destination.
An experience but would not stay again. Positive: It was an experience to stay on the yacht Lovely view across the marina Enjoyed the comings and goings of other boats Negative: On stripping. Beds prior to leaving we found blood stains on mattress protecter which was to small on double bed and ruched up when trying to sleep as did flat sheet .pillows had no protectors and were badly stained Small windows and door mirror in bedroom not clean and a bit dusty in places expected better as yacht was advertised as luxery.
lovely harbour view luxury motor yacht Positive: Nice moored motor yacht in secure Marina with nice mooring at the end of a series of moorings. Lovely view down the harbour.250 yard walk to boat. 24 hour harbour master available. Easy parking. comfortable and well equipped Negative: instruction Folder re facilities would make life much easier. You noted surrounding eateries, the town but didn't. include your opinion re water, toilets,TV, where garbage bags were etc.
Great location and well equipped stay. Positive: Great location. Loved the marina and the sun terrace on the boat. It was tucked away so it felt private. Well equipped for a short stay. Easy to access. Large enough boat for a couple/ family. Negative: Felt that the bathroom areas were very stuffy/mold smell that wasn’t pleasant. Lights kept flickering in the main dining area of the boat so needed to turn them off. A lamp would have been nice for a cosy feel after dark.
Lovely bank holiday stay - relaxing and comfortable Positive: Great location, lovely welcoming pack, comfy bedding, friendly marina.
Not suitable for 85 year woman Positive: What breakfast? Negative: Sleeping facilities
Positive: The marina is a peaceful setting. The boat is spacious and has everything you need.
Enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable boat! Positive: Nice to stay on a lovely comfortable boat. Everything you need is there. We enjoyed getting up to the lovely views. Negative: Heating a little noisy at night, but I assume this is normal with the heat blowing through the vents.
Fantastic opportunity to enjoy life on a luxury yacht Positive: Beautiful & had everything you need. So peaceful at night & very private where it is moored . The marina staff were fantastic & helpful with local knowledge . Easy walk into town for food & drinks Negative: Nothing we didn’t like, think an idiots guide manual might help some people . We have had a motor home so most things were similar.
Wow Positive: Complete WOW factor. Really beautiful boat. Negative: Could have done with little instruction on using the toilet 😂
So cosy and well set up , we was very impressed and will be back in the summer Positive: Location was fantastic
Living the dream Positive: The novelty of living and sleeping on the water Negative: Nothing
new experiences and kids loved it so much Positive: new experiences for all of us, enjoyed having the whole yacht for ourself. Negative: mostly good and can't think of much right now
A must visit you won’t regret Positive: This stay was perfect we thoroughly every minute here. It was comfortable, clean and just what we expected. I was looking forward to the robe after the beautiful shower which is in the pictures on the website, however it did not ruin the break at all. Nick and Albert were very friendly and helpful and we knew if we needed anything to call. Negative: I feel some small lamps would be beneficial in the lounge area, this would make it much more cozy as you either have no lights on or the “big” lights. Also a health and safety booklet/manual with where life jackets, extinguishers etc live. Also how to use the heating system as we figured it but others may not be able.
Felt we had a luxury weekend Positive: Made a special effort to decorate for my daughter’s birthday celebration, along with a lovely bottle of Prosecco and some beautiful handmade cakes - much appreciated. Location of boat in the harbour was perfect - right at the end of the pier with unobstructed views. Negative: Due to the nature of the accommodation, felt and smelled a little damp by the end of the weekend.
Fabulous luxury boaty weekend with friends Positive: Location and quality of the facilities was exceptional - we were lucky with the weather mind you - though that would not take away from the location and quality. The boat is luxurious and in perfect condition. Wonderful place to relax. Negative: We struggled to use the oven - because we didn't realise it was gas - called for help and quickly received instructions. We thought it could do with a one side of A4 with how to use the tech on the boat ( we didn't attempt this), the oven and toilets (for the luddites and digitally naive types like us who visit) :o)
Excellent stay in the perfect location. Positive: Fab location Beautiful boat Everything we needed Host quick to answer
Positive: Absolutely beautiful boat, comfortable and well appointed, we loved the outside spaces and views over the water. Everything was perfect and it really had the wow factor. We also loved the open air bar next to the Dockmaster office - the coffee and bacon rolls were very good quality and they had a pizza oven too. Negative: No negatives
Lymington luxury yacht stay. Positive: Loved the location, the accommodation was excellent just a couple of tweaks and it would have been exceptional. Negative: Little things, like only 1 tea towel and no dish cloth or sponge. The sliding door was tricky at first to lock due to what looked like previous lock damage. Still waiting for my £200 deposit to be refunded and we checked out 48 hours ago.
A perfect venue for a relaxing break. The experience of staying on well equipped yacht such as this is far superior to y Positive: Clean, spacious and well equipped Negative: No dislikes
Cosy, great memory made. Positive: Very modern and unique. Made a lovely memory there. Nice change from a normal hotel room. Negative: Not much. Was pretty great.
Geweldige boot, uitstekende ligging. Positive: Heel mooie boot, proper, goede bedden. Heel vriendelijke hosts. Heel vriendelijk personeel in de haven. De faciliteiten in de haven waren ook heel goed en proper. Uitstekende ligging, vlakbij het centrum van Lymington. Supermarkt te voet bereikbaar, veel goede restaurants in de buurt. In de haven is er een bar waar koffie, ontbijt, pizza, ... te verkrijgen is. Heel gemoedelijk en vriendelijk. We mochten mee gaan varen met de boot ter compensatie van een probleem met de drinkwatertank. We hebben hiervan echter weinig hinder gehad en vonden de boottocht een heel fijne (en grote) compensatie. Negative: Klein detail: de slaapkamer van de kinderen was moeilijk te verluchten omdat de ramen niet bleven openstaan. Ze vonden het niet zo fijn dat het een heel lage, nogal donkere ruimte was. Maar kleine ruimtes zijn nu eenmaal moeilijk te vermijden op een boot.
Positive: It was a lovely location and the boat was really nice. The harbour master was really helpful. Negative: Both my husband and myself were suffering with mobility issues. We did not realise how many narrow steps etc around the boat there would be. Even getting into bed was difficult. I think if we were well, and 10 years younger we would have loved it. A manual of how to use the equipment etc would have been useful.
Fabulous experience and would book again. Positive: Just a fabulous experience! You know when you book something and you think it can’t be as nice as it seems, there must be something wrong with it? That’s not the case with Sea-E-O. From the moment we got there to when we (sadly) left, we felt like kids in a sweet shop. It didn’t hurt that the afternoon we arrived, the sun was shining and we sat on the deck not quite believing our luck at finding this gem. We paddle boarded, watched the world pass by and when it rained on the second evening, watched films with the doors open just soaking up the environment. Well equipped and very comfortable, I highly recommend and would definitely book again. Great comms from owners too. Negative: Everything was brilliant, no faults or constructive criticism here!
A peaceful stay Positive: Unique stay. Very peaceful. Lovely comfortable outside seating areas - top sundeck with 360 views around the marina and a shady cool spot downstairs at the back. Interesting watching the IOW ferries coming in and out and other boats sailing by. Lovely views of sunsets and sunrises. Easy free parking at the marina. Nice little bar in the marina with friendly staff which did tasty bacon baps. Negative: The boat wasn't ready for a 3pm check-in as the cleaners were still on board. This meant we missed a bit of time that we'd planned to spend watching a band at the Seafood festival so it was quite an annoying start! There are no instructions to use anything - this could be easily done in a welcome folder like you see in most self catering accommodation. I imagine many guests aren't used to living on a boat so it would be very helpful.
An expensive option for a short stay but absolutely a case of you get what you pay for. Memorable Positive: Great location within walking distance of town
Sensational experience we loved it Positive: Excellent location, always something happening I. The harbour. Upper deck panorama fantastic. We were very lucky with weather though. Negative: Kitchen could have done with a little more cooking equipment eg casserole dish, mixing bowls. Millions of glasses and plates though.
A great spot for sunsets, Positive: Wonderful location for enjoying the hustle bustle of the marina and glorious sunsets. The boat was of a high standard and good living space. The upstairs deck was fabulous Negative: The sleeping areas were very limited for 5 adults. The second room had limited headroom and a large TV in centre of the ceiling. . The saloon, with the sofa bed ,didn’t have full curtains.
Lovely homely nice family short break! Positive: It had most things required. A nice welcome gift and was clean.
Positive: The Sea-e-o is in a beautiful marina, so close to the high street and train station, as well as lovely nature walks. The boat is in great condition and is very spacious, with ample room across the salon, bedrooms and decks. The stay felt luxurious and comfortable. Can’t recommend enough!
Amazing chilled boating holiday without any stress Positive: Large boat, very clean and comfortable. On a lovely part of the marina. Fabulous facilities on board. Two showers and two toilets. Nice kitchen with oven, microwave and hob. TV’s in loving and bedrooms. Very sturdy and much to our surprise hardly rocked at all! Sun deck upstairs was lovely for watching other boats and Marina life, in the evening everything sparkled with the lights and looking up at the stars was beautiful. Free car park, including disabled spaces, a few mins walk from the boat. Also a lovely coffee area by the dock masters office where you can sit and enjoy a bacon roll or pizza. All staff we came across were friendly and cheerful and nothing seemed to much trouble. Lymington Marina and town a 10 min walk. Perfect location. My daughter was fascinated by the Isle of Wight ferry coming in and out (which was extremely quiet). All in all… absolutely loved it and would love to have stayed longer! Negative: Having to leave for home!
Wonderful family boat adventure. Positive: Beautiful Boat in a wonderful location. So picturesque. Lots of added extras included.
Positive: A great experience staying on the SEA-E-O, fantastic space and facilities on board. From the moment we collected the keys from the friendly Dock Master, to the outdoor bar and Pizza Hut on site at the Marina, topped off by some fantastic Easter weekend sun my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
