We had the best time aboard the Why Knot! It was exactly as described and such a fun way to celebrate our 49th anniversary! The views from the top deck are amazing and we were able to see a SpaceX rocket as it flew by. Downtown Sanford is beautiful and very welcoming. We especially enjoyed the food and drinks at The Bayou- definitely check them out. We hope to come back again next year and highly recommend this beautiful houseboat and the gracious hosts.Rose and Wayne WilliamsPS- and be sure to plan a visit to the Central Florida Zoo while you’re there and a riverboat dinner cruise.
