The guest rooms are in compact wooden cabins with a private bathroom. Breakfast is served each morning in the internal dining room or out on the deck. The Sarah Sun yacht is permanently docked on the corner of Sacca Fisola, a small island connected to Giudecca Island by a footbridge. The Vaporetto (water bus) stop is a 15-minute walk away.

The Sarah Yacht Hotel is a very-very pleasant, exciting, kind and romantic place. Your feeling: You are a Yacht-owner:-)), on a comforteble, elegant and extra ship, in friendly disposed, on by sea. Very good and bizarre: you are sitting in the good jacuzzi on board, and beside the Yacht you seeing a ten-storey ship to go....:-)) The sea-view is fantastic and very exciting. You are seeing the water-traffic (vaporettos, ships, ferrys, boats...), than a romantic film, where you are is the star:-)). The "chief" and the "hostess": Nelly and Tamara very kind, friendly, helpful and polite, similar than a good housewife (but better:-)))), familiary feeling. The Yacht Hotel is very comfortable (with extras), close to the Venezia center (San Marco and Piazzale Roma, etc..) Summary: very-very good Hotel, absolutely suggested!!!

It is different- staying on a luxury cruiser just across from st marks square. Fantastic. Nelli - the manager was terrific. Breakfast - continental and fine. The experience is like a Marine b&B. For the uninitiated sleeping on board does take a little getting used to!

Staying at this hotel is really a wonderful experience. It is very close to the main station. Just 10 mins from main station with water bus 2,42. Stop is sacca fissola. From there it is just 1 min walk. All the major connections is available from sacca fissola. Neilli is so helpful that it looks to us that we stayed at our home. Breakfast was also very good and sufficient. So i think in vennice, this is the best place to stay. If i go next time, i will stay in this hotel only.

The owner is very friendly and helpful. Location is ok as well. Not on the main island though. However, the main island is reacheable easily... No complaints...only thing is that the rooms are a little small...

the yacht was great and in a good location. Nelli the manager was very welcoming and informative. There was a fridge and ice-making machine on the upper deck for the use of the guests. The airconditioning was great and essential The location on Guidecca was very close to the centre of Venice and the parking centre of Tronchetto however, Guidecca itself is not a holiday place but a residential area with only one very small shop (very inexpensive though) and only a few restaurants some distance away. I wouldn't let this put anyone off staying there

Amazing experience and the best service you can ask for. It doesn't feel like you are checking in to a hotel, but to a friend's place. It was a real fun experience, to sleep on a yacht, and we would do it again without hesitation at this place. Best part is, that it doesn't cost you more then a hotel. Breakfast was delicious with hot bread and croissants with coffee and juice, yogurts. I can't name any other place where breakfast is hot out of the oven. We had our 5th wedding anniversary there, and we couldn't have asked for better. Thank you so much. The only negative, but it's nothing really, is that there is no AC in the room. But a fan was available, and we got a nice wind thru the window.

I was overwhelmed by the location and the hospitality of the host Nelli who made my birthday extra special. She is truly a hospitable host who will go to the ends of the earth to make her hosts feel welcolmed and unique. The seating areas were plush with lots of wood detail ans the breakfast was sufficient. The decking area upstairs are equipped with chairs, tables and loungers.

The boat was very nice, and the cabin quite comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was very convenient with easy access to water bus to the larger part of the island. My friend and I really enjoyed our stay - would definitely stay on the Sarah Sun Island again!

Beautiful yacht....would love to try it in the summer! Had to wait for someone to get their for checkin and then one night when we came back (after dark) the key didn't work. Traveling from another country we had no phone to call for help. So we ended up climbing in a window. Not the best situation

Nelli, the Yacht manager is a professional and friendly hostess, full of smiles and useful information.We have stayed on the Anna Dukaj Yacht and the double bed suits there are spacious and luxurious. It's an excellent alternative and adventure for people who are used to staying in hotels and have not been on a Yacht of this size before. You need to be aware that if staying in a room at the back of the yacht, it is quiet wobbly and loud from the waves caused by other boats passing by.

Staying on a boat is a nice change to a conventional hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast good. The area is not a holiday place, but a residential area.I Would not let this put anyone off staying there. We enjoyed our stay. Cabin very small. Starting breakfast at 8.30 am we found this a little late.

Novelty factor of staying on a boat. Good location, easy to get to from parking garage. Jacuzzi a nice touch. Room was dusty and some appliances did not appear to work (tv, some of the lights). Also shame that there was no mini bar.

The host's service is very good. Also, the the rooms are very clean. It is recommeded for young couple who can bear the shaking and want the romantic stay. One thing critical to know is whether you could fall asleep and get used to shaking.Tip 1: the outer boat named Anna shakes more than the inner one named Sarah although the outer one is better equipmented. Tip 2: The lower room shakes less than the upper one in the same boat. Unfortunately, we live in the super suite room on Anna which located at the guest room floor, and shaked very much. I had to take care of the health condition of my wife.~ I feel everything is still shaking although I left Venice 1 day before. ~ ps: the tv system did not work in my room.

Unique Experience to stay in Yacht, very Personalized Service from Nelly, Good Breakfast, Easy to reach the main square within 10 mins. Try to get the Master Suite instead of other rooms. Its expensive, rooms are very tiny - I moved from normal suite to Master Suite after 1 night. Internet works only on the Computer in the reception area. Staying on the water has its disadvantages in terms of noise in the night. Rooms can get very cold in the night. You can Check-In only on the specified time, so inform them well in advance if you are going outside these time.

The Sarah Sun was a great (and economical) base for exploring Venice, and only a short walk from the Sacca Fisola vaporetto stop which links to the main islands and San Marco within 10 minutes or so. The staff was great, and very helpful in giving information about Venice activities. The rooms were admittedly small and with bunk beds, but were clean and comfortable. Recommended for the adventurous traveler. I would gladly stay there again on future visits to Venice!
