The views from the top deck of the boat are of the city skyline and the Point Street Bridge, which is lit up at night. The top deck is also great for chilling and sunbathing during the day.

Please Note:
Rei Da Gambiarra is a renovated 1969 Nautaline Boat. It is about 275 sq ft on the inside. The ceilings are about 6'4". Entry requires walking down a metal ramp at the marina entrance to a floating dock. The interion of the boat is accessible via a sliding glass window which requires one to duck and walk backwards down a three step ladder. The marina can either be peaceful or lively depending on the night. The boat is in close quarters with other boats that are also docked at the marina and also is in close proximity to three bars on the Marina who sometimes have live DJs and events. This stay is a in a marina in the middle of the city, meant to be a cool, centrally located alternative to a hotel room. The marina water is not good for swimming but there are several beautiful Rhode Island beaches within an hour drive. Parties are not allowed on the boat and guests are expected to follow the marina rules and not to disturb guests on other boats or do anything that might detract other's enjoyment of the marina. Failure to comply could result in expulsion from the marina. By booking you agree to hold harmless property owner of bodily injury, or death.
