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!!!

Really friendly helpful staff gave great ideas and sugestions for places to visit and eat. Really clean rooms and comfortable beds with small bathroom but great shower . Lovely space to relax on deck I went with my sister and we had a great couple of hours with a bottle of bellini from the supermarket sat on deck looking out at Venice. Breakfast was also very good plenty of choice and Nelly even had it ready early on our last day so we could have breakfast before heading off to the airport as well as checking vaporetta times on line to make sure we got their on time and chceking me in on line for my flight. It can be a bit noisey sometimes when people are up and about and your still in bed but its great value and a fun and unusual place to stay and you are treated more like a new friend than just a hotel guest by the staff.

The yatch was so original and the staff was so friendly that I am sure we will repeat it for the next time. Breakfast was great and the staff very helpful and friendly. It's necessary to get a vaporetto to get to venezia. You need to get a vaporetto to get to giudecca island and you need to take into account vaporetto's timetable but there is no problem.

Sarah Sun Island is a yacht, really near the vaparetto station Sacca Fisola, at the island Giudecca. The boat was nice and clean and comfortable, nice beds and it´s really exciting too live on a boat, especially if you travel with kids. Nelly who is in charge at the hotelboat is really helpful and shows interest in every guest.

A truly exceptional experience. The location of the boat is perfect across the water from the busy city and the great care of hostess Nelli is outstanding. For the first time in my 30 years as travelling professional (over 3600 hotels nights) I received a message from the hotel before I started the journey! In the Email she offered her kind assistance for the best method to get to the boat and you can announce if you arrival time is outside the normal hours allowing her to anticpate. The rooms are boat accomodation type so dont expect a ballroom size suite but the waves rock you asleep in a hardbeat anyway...especially after whole day Venetia.In fact I am in doubt if I should recommend Sarah or keep her as a secret....

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.

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.

It was the sister boat we stayed on there next-door. The yacht looked lovely as we approached by catamaran. The location was good for just watching the world go by. We have to be honest we expected a little bit more for our night, it obviously cost a fair bit and we found that the tv didnt work in the master (more expensive room) we both had bites after staying here (were not sure what from). The jacuzzi was broke and when we informed the lady in charge she told us if we stayed in it longer than 30 min we would be charged, we felt quite downbeat after hearing this. The breakfast while pleasant was nice but again late as we had to get going. We felt like the lady in charge was pleasant but we we didnt feel overly welcome. We also only had 1 sachet of shower cream and nothing else atall and it was our honeymoon which we had informed them of.

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.

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.

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.
