5 star all the way. Great location and beautiful boat. Everything was top draw and we couldn’t have asked for more thank you. 

AISHA  -  MAY 2018

The boat was stunning and even more gorgeous than the pictures. So many lovely touches to make this a real home from home. Ideal for a great break with friends and family but with a quirky twist! Debs was the perfect host, available any time of the day both prior and during our stay. Such thoughtful touches really made our girl’s weekend even more perfect than we could have imagined!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for something a little special and different!

This Luxury Canal Boat With Lavish Interiors Makes For The Perfect Manchester Staycation

Escape from Manchester, to Manchester.

The first of a fleet of stunning luxury canal boats has officially taken to the water at Castlefield Locks , and it promises to provide a unique stay for those looking to explore Manchester for all it has to offer. Sitting pretty on the historic canal, The Vätten Hüs is ideally located – with a number of fantastic bars, restaurants and beer gardens right on its doorstep.

Designed and developed by duo Erin and Harry – who are behind PW Boats (inspired by Prestige Worldwide from Stepbrothers ) – the 6 berth, 70-ft longboat has been designed with friendly getaways in mind, providing space enough for six to comfortably coinhabit the space.

Flawlessly designed by interior designer Claudia Chez, the boat boasts French, art deco inspired finishes – providing an air of elegance for those who get the chance to stay. From king-sized bedrooms to an open plan kitchen and living space, the boat is literally 10x more lavish than most actual homes – and even features its very own outdoor deck that guests can use to soak up the sun with a drink.

Teaming up with Frog Manchester for the finishing touches, the Airbnb canal boat also features a number of gorgeous social media moments, with showstopping floral displays taking centre stage from the ceiling including a huge pampas grass installation above the kitchen, and a pretty hydrangea display meandering above one of the beds.

Below Deck: The luxury Airbnb 130ft yacht you can rent in Greater Manchester

It may not be in the mediterranean, but you can still enjoy the below deck lifestyle on board this stunning yacht.

• 11:33, 25 FEB 2023

Greater Manchester has more than its fair share of cool and quirky Airbnbs, from stylish Northern Quarter loft apartments to terraced houses in the suburbs. Yet there’s one which is unlike any other and it offers a rather unique experience.

Moored in Clippers Quay in Salford is a 130ft classic yacht which you can book on Airbnb . It’s perfect for those who’ve always fancied a taste of the high life - or if you can’t stop binge watching the TV show Below Deck.

Salford Quays may not be the Mediterranean (we can dream though) but the yacht, named Jacamar, still provides guests with a glamorous stay.

READ MORE: The romantic walk a short drive from Manchester which feels straight out of a fairytale

Step on board Jacamar and you’ll immediately feel like an A-lister. The yacht is decked out with chic designer fixtures and fittings with every corner oozing luxury.

The yacht boasts a huge 800ft main lounge space, which is furnished with stylish cream sofas where you can relax with friends or family. Enjoy meals in the dining space where there’s a bespoke oval glass and granite table - you can even hire a private chef to come on board if you desire.

Tucked inside the wheel house is a snug TV lounge with panoramic windows. Meanwhile the galley kitchen, with an original ship’s oven and state of the art appliances, has everything you’d need for your stay.

Jacamar has three beautifully designed en-suite cabins which each sleep two people. The chic bathrooms all have Neal’s Yard products for a luxurious bathing experience.

Throughout the yacht you’ll find stunning artwork and photography by award-winning photographers Anthony Crook, Guy Farrow and Amelia Troubridge. With an interior this gorgeous you’ll start to believe Jacamar is moored in Monaco or Nice.

The yacht is only a short walk away from the restaurants and bars in Media City. It’s also the perfect base to explore the city centre from, as it’s just a 15 minute tram ride away. There are two parking spaces available while Exchange Quay tram stop is only five minutes away.

Jacamar sleeps six guests, although it can sleep up to 10 with the addition of two small fold out double beds. The yacht is strictly not a party boat and doesn’t accept large groups, hen or stag parties.

The yacht can be booked from £434 a night. For more information and to book, visit the Airbnb website .

RELAX & UNWIND

Inspired by Manchester’s industrial heritage and our canalside location, the stylish bedrooms have been designed with both elegance and comfort in mind. The ​ finest cotton, wool and timber – natural materials traditionally transported via hand-crafted narrowboats along the Rochdale Canal during the Industrial Revolution – have been used to create modern, functional spaces that are luxurious yet sustainable.

A UNIQUE VIBE

The Tribute Portfolio is a rapidly growing family of independent hotels under the Marriott International brand. They combine top class service and elegant design with expert knowledge of the local area they belong to.
