We had a fantastic stay on the Cabern eh. Colchester is a beautiful little hideaway. Very quiet, steps to the beach. We spent lots of time on the kayak and paddle board and lots of time fishing. The boat was comfortable and clean. We made all of our meals on the boat and Used the Sea BQ! It was Great. Brian was there when we needed help and Karen was super fast to respond to anything that anyone needed.(Owner has 3 Boats at the Marina. ) way to go Karen! She honestly just jumps and comes down at a moments notice for anything. Very friendly place to be. Great to see all the fish. We will be back to visit again. Thank you so much.

ButtonOur second stay with Brian, this time on a different boat and during the summer with great weather. Everything we needed was on the boat. The kids enjoyed hot chocolate under the stars and two full beach days! We even got to watch a movie at the park on a giant screen with pizza and snack, after stealing blankets off the boat. With everything so close, beach, parks and restaurants, it made for a great get away out of the city for the weekend. We will be back again!!

ButtonBeautiful Holiday Manson. The gentleman that renovated and updated this boat was really good. Great use of space. Love the upper deck. The view is spectacular. Front of the boat deck and cover was great for morning coffee. The back lower deck has a love seat that when turned around has a great view of the fish that gather in the blue lights under the boat to feed at night. It’s amazing! 4 good restaurant within walking distance, ice cream a block away. A convenient store for items and ice within 5 minute walking distance. And of course Brian was great too with suggestions and local intel. No issues.
