Photos and Description of the City of London vacation yacht rental
6 Berth/Beds of the highest qual over 32 foot, teak wood interior, 8 guest deck.

Woodpecker II is a classic sloop sailing cruiser in superb condition for sailing or to enjoy comfortable cosy nights in the St Katherine's marina, next too Tower Bridge, or lazing in the sun on deck/drinks in the cockpit or main cabin. Recently she has undergone refurbishment and upgrading to be a superb base, perfectly located. Fitted with best Propex Yacht heating system.

The kitchen has fitted sink, gas hobs, grill and refrigeration space.Her main cabin with 6 seats over 3 sofas efficiently converts to a double bed and 2 singles, while in the fore cabin there is a further double sleeper.

We have created a space for your comfort and enjoyment on board; crystal glasses are a part of the fixtures.

Outside, the cockpit has a removable breakfast table and seating for 6/8 guests. The music system is designed to take your iPod/MP3 or laptop iTunes and can be used both in the cabins/on deck

Visiting London: This is a very central location allowing visitors to easily reach landmarks such as Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace by walking. The Tower of London and Tower bridge are 2 minutes walk.

It's worth noting that 2 standard double rooms at the Guoman hotel (a stone's throw away) would cost £440 per night total, (£220 per night for standard double room!) without the benefit of your own kitchenette and deck.

4 adults can easily enjoy comfort on board Woodpecker...in 2 double cabins.

Parking can be arranged at an amazing price, for Central London, of £10 per day and the Marina is just outside the congestion charge zone.

Added to all this is a Marina membership card which gives you 20% off your bill at most of the restaurants.

Onboard Power: While at sea Woodpecker has 20hp Volvo Penta onboard engine (Range 300 miles) powering the 12v power supply for heating and lighting; while at berth on the Marina, direct shore power supplies the specialist Propex Marine heating system with dehumidifier and thermostatically controlled central heating for the cabins. Lighting throughout from mains.

we had a great time on this beautiful yacht. the weather was at the beginning
rough but we slept wonderful. we think it is a very good place to feel free in
brighton, to cook very nice meals, the kitchen is perfekt, the biggest supermarket we ever saw, is near by. every time we came back to the yacht,
we felt at home. the owner is very friendly and next time we visit brighton
we come back again.
Recommended for:  Age 55+
Owner's Response: I am very happy that you loved the Yacht the way most do inspite of the rough weather. Thank you for your kind words and perhaps next time you stay I can persuade you to venture out of the sea walls with me:-))

December long weekend

  • 3 of 5
  • Submitted: Dec 14, 2012
  • Stayed: Dec 2012
We had a great long weekend...the location is amazing and we couldn't believe how quiet it was at night. The facilities at the Marina are clean and warm. The boat too was clean and the heating efficient, the bedding I suggested could have been left a little more sorted as we spent some time trying to work out which duvet covers went where! The discount card proved useful for a significant discount on a dinner and a breakfast we had! There are also plenty of restaurants to choose from and a great Waitrose supermarket nearby which we discovered on the last day...another time I think we'd aim to eat on board too..
My husband and the two friends who were with us, are "boaties" so the cosiness of the boat was not a problem for us. Our 14 year old son was with us too, so we were 5 in total and it was fine. I would however recommend it for people who know something about boats as the space is quite tight.
We had a slight problem with damp floors which is why I'm only giving the 3 stars at the moment. The owner has assured this will be fixed and new carpets put in...so we look forward to coming back in the summer to move the rating back up to 5 stars!
The owner was helpful in sorting out wi-fi which wasn't working initially and generally very prompt in getting back to me regards queries and so on.
We look forward to being able to stay again, maybe some time during the summer..the idea of dinner on deck is very appealing!!
Owner's Response: The brand new carpets are in and I look forward to welcoming your party back :))

Due to renovations on my Flat, I stayed at Paul's Boat, perfect location, just few steps from all London's Attraction, very clean which is important for me, there is enough room for two couple or small family with a quietly romantic feel on the Marina... Highly recommended

Amazing immaculate accommodation

We stayed on board for 3 days at SKD. Woodpecker is a very cosy fun way to see London at superb pricing for our family of 4. To be able to simply walk to such attractions on the doorstep; Tower of London; London Eye; Parliament; great shopping at the City markets. Paul was very helpful and we had a great time . Thank you

Fantastic Holiday

  • Submitted: Nov 7, 2012
  • Stayed: Oct 2012
We stayed on board Woodpecker for 3 days in October and the Yacht Woodpecker reached all our expectations. Not only was she well specified with great cockpit cushions (which I believe Paul had been waiting for delivery on) but she was a peaceful and 'noiseless' sleep at night right in the centre of the busiest City in the World!
We will be returning next year (if she is not booked out) and enjoying the many advantages of life on board at St Kaths Docks (with the restaurant reduction card).
What an absolute winner only yards from an Hotel asking £250 per night for a double room!

Thank you
nathan and family
