Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The experience is stationary by design: guests take a short water-taxi ride to a moored houseboat, settle in with food they have collected on shore, and leave when their reserved window ends. The site lists capacity for eight, sessions of two, three, or four hours, and a starting price of $350. It also specifies a $5-each-way taxi fare, indoor and outdoor seating, a swim ladder, and floats, making the practical arrangements unusually legible for a hospitality page.
