OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

DOG ON BOARD :
Meet Ellie! She is border collie that lives on board, is friendly, and likes to peruse the common spaces. However she knows the rules and remains out of all guest staterooms. One pup on the boat is unfortunately all we can allow. We can not allow guest pets during your stay.

ELECTRIC POWER RESTRICTIONS:
We generate power via solar panels and therefore are limited when it comes to charging personal devices. We do have some charging abilities at certain times of the day for smaller devices - phones, cameras, etc. However we can not power hair dryers, CPAP machines and any other personal electronic devices needing large power draws.

We recommend bringing your own battery packs if you have them to power your devices or do without them during your stay : )

ALLERGIES:
Please let us know of any food allergies at the time of booking so when can plan your dinner accordingly.

CHILDREN:
Children under 12 that can share staterooms receive 50% off

Why they chose this property

The InnChanter has been a Bed & Breakfast on the west coast for 30 years. For many years we drove by past the InnChanter on our boats and dreamed of some day owning it. Now it's a dream come true.

What makes this property unique

The InnChanter is a totally different experience than your typical basement airbnb suite or hotel room....

First - we are floating on the ocean at our anchor and not attached to land in any way. You have to take a shuttle boat to get here and that is what creates this surreal feeling of being remote and as close to the ocean as possible. Come on - how often do you sleep on a ship?

Second - the boat is almost 100 years old and has a history that would take a meal or two to even scratch the surface of. She is all hand-crafted wood and has be restored with such charm and aesthetics you don't see in everyday homes.

Third - between the home cooked west coast meals all prepared from scratch with local ingredients to the kayaks, floating sauna and crab traps, you will always find something to do and wish you stayed a little longer!
