The Boggsville Boatel
Welcome to Boggsville Boatel and Boat-in Theater!
The boatel is all sold out for the season! Thank you, everyone!
We are a hotel of boats. This isn't a fancy place - just a collection of old boats and good people sharing our love of the water. Our Boatel is located in a protected marshy cove at Marina 59 in Far Rockaway. We have a wonderful view of Jamaica Bay and JFK Airport.
During the day you can swim off the side of your boat or borrow a wooden dory, handmade by Mare Liberum. We are also four blocks away from Rockaway Beach. The area has a lot to explore! Our director of local tourism, TJ Hospodar, will plan trips to Fort Tilden, Bottle Beach, and other points of interest. At night, we open our Boat-In Theater, where you can enjoy lectures and rare movies projected onto a floating screen.
The facilities at Marina 59 are top of the line: bathrooms, showers, and BBQ pits. You will need to bring your own food to grill, some of which can be bought at the small grocery store right next door to the marina (assuming you are not too picky about organics). If you're not the grilling type, you can always order takeout from the Chinese place down the street.
Traveling to the marina is easy by train. We are 2 blocks from the A line at 60th Street. We recommend you bring your bicycle.
The boatel fee is per boat, not per person. The fees cover the costs of production and materials: this is a nonprofit art project.
After you book your night with us, we will send you a welcome package with more information.
-THE BOATS-
Americano is a Guido vessel with a long sloping bow. This boat is very private. The windows are tinted and the inside is very Slick Rick. $50 a night.
CRUMB is a quaint and comfortable boat and was probably previously owned by an elderly couple. There is a private sleeping area; it's spacious and perfect for rolling around in. She sleeps 4 people. This boat also has a shaded top deck with reclining furniture. $50 a night.
New York, NY is Euro. This boat has been remodeled to be more open than she was originally designed to be. She sleeps 3-4 people, and she has a breakfast nook, a great space for preparing lunches, and a desk for the writer-ly types. $50 a night.
Queen Zenobia is a classy little 30-foot yacht. She can sleep 3-4 people, if they are willing to snuggle up. On this boat there is a comfortable little breakfast nook and plenty of deck space for lounging around. $50 a night.
Ms. Nancy Boggs is a rustic floating cabin. This 1967 Drift-R houseboat has been remodeled into down-home love nest. This boat can sleep up to 5 people. There are two beds, one of which can fit 3.5 people. It is the perfect place to roll around with more than one or two. It has a spacious breakfast nook and several decks for sun bathing, fishing, or picnicking. $100 a night.
