Rare boat at a rare historic net shed and dock. Use the provided kayaks to paddle around lovely Gig Harbor--or paddle to the Tides Tavern or Anthony's seafood for lunch! Complete with two staterooms, a cozy fireplace, and a view of sunsets and Mount Rainier! Sit on the upper deck for coffee/cocktails, bbq on the dock, watch activity. The space Gig Harbor is known as the maritime city. Our net shed was built by a famous historic fisherman, Spiro Babich. The dock allows you to watch the boats, paddle boarders, gondolas, kayakers and working fishing boats go by! Shamrockin' is small,-know that it's a boat that rocks when folks move around, the shower is a hand held sprayer situation, and you must be nimble to move about. What you get in return is a teak and holly charming fully equipped getaway literally on the water and we think you'll love it. Two kayaks ready for your use! Guest access The net shed and other boats are not part of the rental. Other things to note Occasionally there will be events/celebrations in the net shed.

Great for peace and quiet and disconnecting for a little while. Has WiFi and streaming services available. But the best part is falling asleep listening to the rain on the roof.

Guests should know that the sleeping quarters are tight - not recommended for large people (my wife slept in the stern cabin and I slept in the bow cabin).

I didn't understand the check in process completely. The boat was charming and well stocked with most everything we needed for our two-night stay; however, the salt and pepper shakers were lacking batteries, and we never did find the shower nozzle in the bathroom. It was fun, but colder than expected. Check-in time was a bit late for my liking. The beds were very comfortable, and the bed pillows were great. ##### Deanna K.

What a fabulous experience it was. The boat was a classic wood hull and interior, beautifully restored, with everything working perfect. Michelle was an amazing host, extremely friendly, helpful and attentive. The setting in Gig harbor was spectacular, views, wildlife....lot's of stuff to do..and within walking distance to the historic downtown waterfront area. HIGHLY recommend you give one of their 3 boats a try!! ##### Joe C. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda P. 26 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun, cozy, Gig Harbor Spot I loved my little sanctuary in Gig Harbor! Communication with Michelle was timely and informative, the boat has lots of nice touches contributing to the cozy factor - I could have settled into either cabin's bed and read all day, and although I didn't actually cook the kitchen was well equipped, including a nice welcome basket. Walking distance to everything in the main area of Gig Harbor, maybe even to the north side but I didn't try this trip. I think the description is good at covering this but, as with any smaller boat, accommodations are tight so pack efficiently. Also, I didn't use the kayaks but watched people from one of the other boats take them out and it's a great setup! Would love to be here in warm weather. ##### Brenda P. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ken L. 2 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy, Calm, Quiet and Restorative I crave the water but live in the desert. Renting the Shamrockin for a water experience was an excellent decision. The location is 10/10! Shops and restaurants are just steps away from the private dock and yet the location remains calm, quiet and restorative. You can walk everywhere with ease. The boat is charming and cozy with a lot of personality. The bedding is comfortable and all rooms have a small but efficient electric heater. October can be wet and cold in Gig Harbor. There was rain, sunshine, falling leaves and witches on the water. We timed our visit with a FISH Food Bank fundraiser called the Witches Brew. Participants dressed up as their favorite witch or warlock while paddling kayaks and stand-up paddle boards from one end of the harbor to the sandspit. You never know what you’ll see on the water. Other wonderful sights included beautiful sunrises, lots of herons and an occasional seal. Our time on the Shamrockin was enchanting. The owners, Brad and Michelle are hard working entrepreneurs that treat this rental opportunity like a profession not a hobby. The only hiccup we had was a hot water tank malfunction. The owners were very responsive and resourceful. They moved us to another boat so we could remain comfortable while repairs were being made. Our stay in Gig Harbor was medicine for my parched New Mexico spirit. We can’t wait to come back and stay here again. What a great experience! Kristen and Ken Lord ##### Ken L.
