About this docked boat rental
About this space
Float with Us To Save the Water & Save the World! The Azul Project concept was created in 2010 by James Douglas as an effort to bring awareness to the importance of Conserving Water! In 2018, we thought how else could you get closer to the concept of water's significance then by floating on it, near Atlantic Ocean Beaches, & calling it your home away from home! Float with us while remaining plugged into your own personal WiFi!
The space
This space adopted a Hawksbill Bale - Travel with Purpose when you stay with us and assist in global efforts to help save this beautiful endangered species! The Azul Project, a 2004 44' Gibson Houseboat!
Soak up the sunshine or stay tucked inside cuddled up with your favorite book and enjoy the North Carolina fresh salty air!
The Aft Master Stateroom has a Vanity, Dresser Storage, adjoining bath with electric head (toilet) and sink! (NOTE: Shower onboard is not for use. Just steps away from boat are two showers located in Marina building next to laundry room. There are also several other showers with regular indoor plumbing located in the Clubhouse that you have access to during your stay. These spaces are maintained by the Marina and not your host.)
Also, on board is a well equipped kitchen with refrigerator and freezer (bring your own ice), microwave, pantry, double sink, 3-burner range & dining area! You will notice oven in picture but it is NOT an offered amenity.

Carpet on stairs and LVT flooring throughout the rest of the boat!

Other things to note
The houseboat is floating at a slip where tide fluctuates - therefore you may have to step down or up to enter the boat.

The houseboat was a novel and enjoyable experience. The listing is very accurate. The marina was quiet and the view, beautiful and serene, especially from the top deck. The host, Gia was fantastic and her communication skills, exceptional.

Staying on the Azul Project was everything I expected and more. Boat was very clean, the location was great and the host was terrific. I would definitely stay aboard the next time I'm visiting the OBX. 5 stars plus!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2025
I love the boat. Emails were answered in a timely manner.. Was not able to enjoy the pool or the other extra. Every time I went the door was locked was told yesterday where the key was…..I was so scared of getting on and off the boat. I had no clue the distance from the deck to the boat. I honestly only went out when I had to. Nice people on the deck though many people helped me out.
