Amazing 40th Birthday spent with my amazing boyfriend. Even with plans changing last min regarding dinner on boat or not, Scott was very accommodating. The boat is a amazingly beautiful quiet retreat and Scott and his staff really make you feel like welcomed friends while providing, peace, undisturbed privacy and total comfort. The cheese, crackers and olives upon your first nights arrival were mouth watering and take the experience to another level. Memories of a lifetime were made and... More »
My husband and I were spending a week in California, celebrating our upcoming 30th anniversary. Our last night was on Barkissimo, a very special surprise for Mark, who is a boatbuilder. Our stay could not have been more perfect! Scott prepared a delicious gourmet dinner for us and two friends, fresh grilled mahi-mahi, root vegetables, and a fruit tart. We watched the sun go down while drinking a lovely wine and eating dessert. Our cabin and bed were very comfortable, the shower a work of art.... More »
Barkissimo is a unique and luxurious retreat. I took my boyfriend here as a birthday present and it couldn't have been more perfect. Scott is an amazing host and the yacht is beautiful. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and a cheese plate. Although the salon is a lovely welcoming space we spent most of our time on the fantail. The view was fabulous and we enjoyed watching the birds swoop and dip close by. Dinner was an absolute delight from the bright crunchy kale salad to the... More »
Scott and his crew provided an amazing experience for my family, close friends, and I on my 31st Birthday. The Barkissimo was everything we had hoped for and more. To my delight, and with the help of all parties involved, we were able to book the reservation with only a week to spare. I would HIGHLY recommend booking on the Barkissimo. Incredible Memorable Moments will be made on this beautiful unique Yacht!! If you have the opportunity to board, Enjoy. I know we sure did!!!
My fiance loves yachts so we were really excited about our stay it was really relaxing Scott is a great host and super chief we can't wait to book another stay
Aboard the Barkissimo we were treated to amazing hospitality and accommodations only hosts as thoughtful and generous as Scott and his team could provide. Everything from the master suite, to the gourmet snack and wine upon arrival, were just as described and made for a wonderful and absolutely relaxing experience. Scott took extra care to accommodate our vegan diets (thank you!) and plated everything beautifully. The artistry and craftsmanship of the boat were inspiring and provided... More »
What a fantastic experience. I surprised my wife with a stay here for our anniversary, and Scott made sure it was a special weekend. We arrived to snacks and champagne on the back of the boat, where we sat and looked out over the water while Scott prepared a wonderful meal for us, which I requested of him just days before. The breakfasts that were included on Saturday and Sunday were also very good. We had a wonderful time, and I expect we'll be going back at some point.
WOW! We were so impressed! Staying at Barkissimo is liking staying at a 5 star resort. Scott is an encredible host!! We arrived to fresh popped champagne with olives and other sides. The room was very tasteful, and wow was the bed comfy! The boat is gorgeous and very spacious complete with a jacuzzi! Scott is an excellent chef and made us a delectable breakfast. He was such a wonderful host and we will definitely be recommending him to everyone we know (as well as staying there... More »

Scott had a last minute change of plans, and wasn't able to accompany his friends to our place. Nonetheless, his friends were kind, interesting and tidy, and it was a pleasure to welcome them here. Prior to the visit, Scott was communicative and open about his upcoming visit, which is always appreciated!
We had the extreme pleasure of spending a night with dinner and breakfast on the Barkissimo, hosted by Scott. It was July 4. We can't say enough good about the experience! The boat itself is beautiful, having been completely refurbished by Scott himself. The setting is wonderful and a perfect place to have a drink on the top deck and watch the sunset. The stateroom is comfortable and welcoming! Now the food! Scott is a master chef. Dinner was served where we wanted it, which was on... More »
I like Scott a lot! He is a very positive person to be around, and incredibly knowledgeable. His fantastic culinary skills and generous hospitality make any visit to the good ship Barkissimo an unforgettable experience. Not to mention the boat is incredible; it is an extension of Scotts passion for life and beauty. Life is short, so treat yourself to the best bnb experience in the bay!
Scott is an outstanding host with a warm, welcoming attitude towards his guests. He is attentive to every detail whether it is the ambiance, comfort or sparkling cleanliness of the Barkissimo or the quality and beautiful service of food. Scott has the personal charm and caring attitude that creates an experience of the highest quality in a bed & breakfast on a gently rocking luxury yacht. One night on the Barkissimo...and you might just want to stay there forever...
Scott is a tremendous person!! Not only is he a great cook, (takes one to know one) he also is a great cabinetmaker with incredible skills. I have known Scott for 6 years and I can say that he is an honorable man of integrity. He can be counted on to do what he says he will do. I have hired Scott to do work on homes interior and exterior and had the privilege of experiencing his cooking abilities. I would highly recommend him to anyone without reservation.
