Crazy thought.
I'm heading to San Francisco for work and thought it would be great if someone rented out their boat for people just to sleep on and of course shower. This would be so much better than staying in a hotel. Do you know of any crazy enough to offer their boat for nightly rentals like a hotel?
Thanks

Check airbnb.com I have rented my 27' for that exact purpose before (for someone living in Manhattan, it is normally a step up in living space!)

Most marinas will prohibit sub letting the boat to non insured users. Any commercial activity will change the nature of the rental agreement. At least that's what I found out here in San Diego. Now...... if you just give the key to a friend for a few nights stay you could circumvent the commercial restriction... but, again, there may be liability issues.

In my locale... Marina Village Marina.... it's absolutely verbotten.

In any event, if you are a boat owner considering this.... better to check your rental agreement, insurance policy and your sub lesse's background and credit... because all kind of shit could happen once you give the gate key to a stranger.

there is one in Shelter Cove Marina in San Diego. It's a nice sailboat, maybe 36? I think it runs about $100 per nite and have heard good things about it.

Maybe a sailing school / club as they're already in the business of renting out their boats. Can't think of one in SF proper but OCSC is in Berkeley (view would be so so) and Modern Sailing in Sausalito (better views). I'm not associated with either of these but have been out on their boats.
