Great Family Fun Jennifer Russell Albuquerque, NM
Review Submitted August 18, 2011 Date of Stay August 1, 2011 Thank you, Kat and Evan, for sharing your "Floating Hotel"! This is such a perfect description, although it really felt more like our home for the week. There were a lot of really fun activities right on the harbor and we enjoyed some of the local restaurants and shops. Even better was being able to cook or grill right on the boat and relax on the deck with a glass of wine enjoying the sights and sounds of the harbor. There are so many areas to see near by that we did not evan get to all of them and we will surely want to come back and use "My Way" as our home base. This is a great place for families, my boys, ages 11 and 14, thought it was absolutely awesome that we stayed on a boat and loved having their own space in the bunk room,( which by the way had plenty of room--my 14 year old is 5'11"). I never felt like we were too noisy and, likewise, never felt like it was noisy around us. Someone previosly mentioned that the mexican restaurant had loud music going on into late night, but we found it very festive and were sorry that it was over by 10:00 pm! Not only were Kat and Evan friendly, helpful, and gracious hosts, but the other people who own businesses or work along the dock were also very kind and welcoming. Thank you again for a wonderful visit! Sincerely, Russell Family, Albuquerque, NM
Yacht Vacation Experience Paula Burns & George Wagner New Mexico
Review Submitted August 31, 2011 Date of Stay July 27, 2011 This may be one of the best kept vacation secrets & surpassed our expectations! We enjoyed meeting the yacht owners, Kat & Evan, who gave us a grand tour of the yacht & harbor! The 3-level yacht has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, full kitchen, grill, living room & deck! It's affordable yet luxurious as well as comfortable. We particularly loved all that Ventura Harbor has to offer: restaurants, shops, happy hours, music, activities, rentals (kayaks, bikes, boats, etc). This is truly a unique vacation experience that allows us guests to relax & chill. Thank you & God Bless you, Kat & Evan! Rating:

Review Submitted July 30, 2011 Date of Stay July 12, 2011 We had an outstanding time on the boat. We are a family of six and it was a blast. The boat was very comfortable, the harbor is filled with lots of friendly people. Kat and Evan were wonderful hosts for their yacht. We loved it and we will be back. There are a ton of cool restaurants as well as being able to cook your own meals with the kitchen and bbq available on the yacht! We highly recommend staying on the boat! Rating:

Captain Dave says thumbs up! David Briant Phoenix, Arizona
Review Submitted July 14, 2011 Date of Stay July 1, 2011 I would highly recommend this boatel for those seeking a relaxing time in the harbor with live music, good food all with in two minutes walking distance. Those wanting a private yacht experience at the cost of a regular hotel room are in for a special time aboard "My Way". My first mate girlfriend and I, spent two days aboard ship and really enjoyed the Venture Harbor experience. The best food by far was in the Le Petit Cafe and Bakery. One day we ate breakfast and lunch here and ordered french pastries to take back aboard. Best breakfast I have had in 15 years or more. The Village Harbor store has everything you need, ice, beer, spirits, snacks, etc. Captain Evan and First Mate Kat who own "My Way" are very gracious and kind. They will help with any and all questions. We liked them so much we chartered the boat up to Santa Barbara and spent the 4th of July weekend with them watching the fireworks on an anchor. Simply put...Fantastic! Yes the bed is comfortable..all is clean and well maintained as a good ship should be. My favorite spot was topside watching the boats, people and wildlife living the harborside life. You bet...we'll be back! Aloha and God Bless Evan and Kat! Rating:

Loved Ventura Yacht Charters! Deborah Avilez Monterey, CA
Review Submitted June 19, 2011 Date of Stay June 8, 2011 We had a great experience with Ventura Yacht charters and would definitely recommend this property. The boat was well equipped, clean, and well-maintained. Evan was very helpful with his orientation to the boat and the harbor. We enjoyed the restaurants, shops and beach and so did our dog! The only thing we would have liked to improve was the weather! Rating:

Ventura Paradise on the water jamesR. Green Hamilton Ontario Canada
Review Submitted May 20, 2011 Date of Stay May 6, 2011 My wife and i decided to try a different experience while visiting my son and to be daughter in law. We opted to stay on a yacht. When we looked the very best accomodation was to book on "My Way" the ship was everythjing and more than we expected. The hosts keep it impecably clean and welcoming. The quarters are 5 star to say the least. We have travelled and stayed at many high end hotels and this is by far my choice of venue.The surrounding ammenities are great with good food and lively entertainment at nite . Laying on the upper deck watching the harbor seals is extreemly relaxing and watching the diving storks is outstanding. In all I would rate it 10+ as a venue to stay at and we anticipate many more stays with Kat and her husband as our hosts. The price is right and the site is perfect and private so what more can a traveller ask for.. Rating:

No more Ventura hotels for me this was the best experience!!!! Colleen Silberberg California
Review Submitted April 16, 2011 Date of Stay April 9, 2011 Kat and Evan you can make dreams come true!! I absolutely loved my week on the yacht and could have stayed right there forever. I slept in the master bedroom and I am a real nut about comfortable beds when I am away from home and after sleeping 6 nights on the bed in the master bedroom I am going to need to upgrade my bed at home it was that comfortable. Everything about my stay was perfect from the size of the boat to its location and the best hosts you could ever have the privilege to meet. Thank you again for a wonderful week and I can't wait to come back very soon!

Our stay on the yacht Steve Wiseman Redmond, WA
Review Submitted April 7, 2011 Date of Stay March 25, 2011 My wife and I had a wonderful get away. The yacht has great accomodations and we slept very comfortable. A short walk away is plenty of restauarants to choose from Greek, Italian, Mexican..etc. There was a comedy club close by. We were able to enjoy the wineries which were a short drive away. The marina has a mix of yachts, sail boats and fishing boats. We really enjoyed the marine life as well. I would highly reccomend this yacht for a get away. Rating:
