Boathouse Boatel

My wife and I just finished our wedding weekend in Riverhead, I was lucky enough to stay at the Boatel the night before my wedding, and it was the perfect way to kick off such a special occasion. Katy was incredibly responsive and provided great information about the area. She even surprised us with a bottle of champagne to celebrate! The surfboard and nautical theme creates a modern, comforting aesthetic that's perfect for a waterfront stay. Perfect for everyone. It's also within walking distance of several excellent restaurants, fun activities, and the Long Island Aquarium for the kids. I couldn't have asked for a better place to get ready for my wedding! This should definitely be on Riverhead's top places to stay. Best wishes and thank you so much Katy!

Such a unique experience

This was such a fun getaway! The boatel is clean and feels brand new, the nautical decor is spot on. The communication with the owner was timely and provided great information. Lots of options to walk for food or get in the car and visit the Tanger outlets or multiple farm stands, vineyards and breweries.

Unique Adventure

A perfect getaway to gather with our three grandchildren. The location provided many walkable restaurant and recreation options. We did fishing (cooked 30 snappers we caught), river walks, and an escape room this visit. This botel was clean and beautifully decorated with a nautical theme and provided everything needed for a family vacay (full kitchen, internet and tvs). I liked the back porch for morning coffee and observing nature during sunrise over the River. This botel was a unique adventure for us. We all loved it!

Riverhead Boatel

The boat was beautiful, clean and comfortable in a great bit of town with great places to eat nearby. It is on a good spot on the river .. and lovely to have morning coffee on the deck. Riverhead is a quiet town but we found it great place to explore Long Island from .. visiting Montauk, Fire Island, North Fork and surrounding areas.

Unique and wonderful experience

This was the first time we ever stayed on a houseboat. This was an awesome experience. The property was tastefully decorated and added to the on the water experience. The location of the houseboat was great as well with plenty of dining options within walking distance and a quick drive to many beaches and farm stands!
