The Last Nights of Constance Hockaday\u2019s Boggsville Boatel and <\/em>Boat-In Theater,<\/em><\/span>
\n
September 8-10<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The New York Times<\/a> gave it rave reviews, as did NPR and every other magazine and TV channel in America. (Photos<\/a>) The Boatel has been SOLD OUT<\/strong> all summer long, but we’re auctioning off rooms\u00a0here<\/a> for ONE LAST WEEKEND! (All proceeds go to the\u00a0Swimming Cities India raft project<\/a>…we leave Sept 20!)<\/p>\n

The Boggsville Boatel is a floating hotel and theater fashioned out of abandoned and re-claimed boats, all of which sleep 2-5 people. Six of the vessels are leisure fishing crafts from the 60\u2019s, 70\u2019s and early 80\u2019s, ranging from 28 to 40 feet long. Another is a 70\u2019s drifter houseboat remodeled into a rustic penthouse. Rooms include dinner and access to our\u00a0GOING AWAY PARTY<\/a> Sept 10 right next door at Marina 59, from 8pm-late. Kick it on your poop deck four blocks from the beach with cold beer, all of your friends and swim trunks\u2014plus Cocktail Cruises in Jamaica Bay, Jerk Burgers & Pineapple Hot Dogs by Carnival Queen Lamar Iposa and Sea Shanty Karaoke.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And yes you’ll see a sunrise like that; and yes you’re only 4 blocks from the beach\/ocean; and yes there is a bar; and yes there are film screenings; and yes you can swim there.<\/p>\n
