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!

When we first saw the boat, it was quaint and the view was so beautiful!! The water and the dock was so peaceful. we hopped on the boat and went inside. The inside was already cool and comfortable. The boat was furnished nicely and I had no complaints with the cleanliness. we enjoyed our stay on top of the deck where we ate some seafood from steamers and watched the sun go down. It was beautiful. The only thing that I would change is the bathroom situation. We could not put toilet paper in the toilet, so it was a minor inconvenience to put our used toilet paper in the garbage bag. The bathroom will have a slight smell to it due to the toilet being somewhat of a porta potty. We just kept it clean with the toilet brush and some cleaner. The parking can be a challenge if the restaurant is busy. The first night we were there we had to park near the clubhouse which is a good size walk. The second night we had no problem finding a spot near the boat. The clubhouse is at the beginning of the property and the boat is almost to the end of the property, which does mean that if your older like us, then it would be wise to drive there and not walk. This is also where you will take a shower. These inconveniences were very minor compared to the location, price, and beauty of the area. I would stay again.

Everything was so lovely on the Azul Project! Our first night was a bit rough because there was a gale warning and the wind/water was a lot for these landlubbers, but once the weather settled down and the water was calm, we thoroughly enjoyed our time on the boat. It was incredibly relaxing; communication with our host was fabulous; the area felt safe and was super easy to navigate. Thank you to Gia for hosting us; we'll be sure to recommend and will be back!

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.
