We enjoyed our stay on the Golly Wobbler! Convenient location and walking distance to great food and shops in downtown Gig Harbor! Thank you for a lovely stay!
Great stay, even in the winter the boat was nice and warm. Lots of wildlife and boats coming and going, even had a visit from a seal. Very walkable location in gig harbor and great access driving to everything else. 10/10 will be back!
We enjoyed a lovely stay on the Golly Wobbler. The location was ideal to walking to restaurants, shops, etc. We were lucky enough to meet the hosts/owners of the boat and they were extremely nice and helpful.
Had a great time staying on this 38' boat for the weekend.
Everything was just as shown on the listing, the people at the net shed were great and the boat was perfect.
My 8-year-old and I loved this boat. We stayed on Lyla for three nights and the Blue Gollywobbler for one night. Both boats are great. The kayaks were used every day.
From the beautiful 38' yacht, to the restored netshed and the ambience of the harbor - I cannot recommend this stay enough, especially if you are a boating enthusiast. Access to the walkable waterfront, great restaurants, shopping is convenient and you may even be visited by otters or harbor seals while on the yacht. I will be back!
The boat was amazing! Lots of downtown businesses within walking distance. The marina was peaceful and we got to see tons of birds and seals in the harbor. Kayaks were convenient and easy to maneuver. Definitely interested in staying again!
Directions were very clear and check-in was a breeze. We loved watching all the boat traffic going in and out of the harbor. Kayaks were a fun addition. Communication was great. Thank you!

This was so much fun and way better than a hotel. We walked a lot, which was great, but we wanted to just stay in the boat and enjoy early morning coffee. It was fantastic.
This was the most amazing stay and cannot wait to return. My parents live in Gig Harbor and so this will be my go-to place when I come to visit. It afforded the most peaceful getaway when my life is the most stressful its ever been. I was so grateful for this little blessed boat to feel like I really could take a breath and enjoy the weekend. Thank you for hosting us.
We had a lovely stay on the 38’ Yacht. The vessel was comfort and clean. The location was within walking distance of downtown, good restaurants and views of the harbor. We recommend it highly.

What a beautiful boat!! Very clean and well-maintained. It was warm and cozy while listening to the rainfall. Such a unique experience staying on a yacht instead of a hotel or home. Directions were detailed with good communication before and during our stay. Nice touches including light snacks, a bottle of wine, kayaks and a makeup towel. Walking distance to a brewery and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back again.
It was a gift for my sister and brother-in-law. Truly exceeded all expectations! Host of property was very accomodating. They had an experience of a lifetime. Absolutely beautiful and unique experience for them.
What a treat! Would love to do this again. Beautiful boat with everything you needed to have a good time. Loved the location and area. Walked to the Tides Taproom for the best Halibut I’ve had in a really long time, and great beer brewed by 7 Seas Brewery. Loved this experience! Thank you Michelle and the Pond Babich people for sharing it.
