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.

The boat is a great place to stay. The beds are soft and comfy. It has all the amenities you could need while being gently rocked to sleep every night. It really is a neat place to stay while being comfortable. The hosts met us and showed us the gate and all the details of what we would need to be comfortable on the boat.
