About this property

53' Vic Franck "Eagle" Formerly Steve Miller's Yacht

"FLY LIKE AN EAGLE"
To the sea, let my spirit carry me. Welcome aboard the Vic Franck 53' yacht custom built for Steve Miller in 1979. Feel the nostalgia in Franck's legendary craftsmanship of the single-level floor plan, the wide open salon and galley, plus a comfortable daybed in the helm area. The master stateroom is located midship with a queen-size bed and head (bathroom), and the V-berth at the front of the boat features two full-size, angled beds and a second head (bathroom). The boat comfortably sleeps 4 adults in the two staterooms, with room to sleep 2 more on the daybed, for a maximum of 6 people. The fully stocked galley (kitchen) has all new appliances, ice maker, and beautiful quartz countertops. The galley is open to the spacious salon and bar area, with surrounding views of the harbor and Mt. Rainer. The living area features an entertainment system with a smart TV, Internet*, and custom surround sound designed by none other, Steve Miller! The back sun deck is a perfect spot for relaxation and enjoying the breathtaking sunset views.
Eagle is located at the Historic Gig Harbor Marina & Boatyard , established in 1912 and still operating. Gig Harbor Marina is in the heart of the downtown Gig Harbor waterfront, so walking distance to many restaurants, bars, and unique shops, including the iconic Tide's Tavern.
This notorious vessel is awaiting your arrival.
(Our vessels stay docked during your stay so no special licensing required)

Perfect location and beautiful view!

The Eagle is the perfect place to stay for easy access to all downtown Gig Harbor shops and restaurants. The views from the boat are incredible. The boat was clean, comfortable and surprisingly warm and cozy on chilly nights. We loved the day bed and the blue velvet couch! So much fun listening to Steve Miller songs on the Eagle. We can’t wait to come back

Sixth time on Eagle, and it keeps getting better

Worth every penny to a rock’n roll 65 year old sailor who loves Steve Miller, cool old school and things done right! - it doesn’t get any better. Remember though, it’s a boat…

Unique! Stay, gorgeous location

Our group of Wisconsin gals enjoyed our two nights aboard the Eagle. It was so nice to wake up to sunrise right over the water in the harbor. We enjoyed being able to walk to coffee, shops and restaurants. The weather was outstanding in mid-Sept, yet all the kayak rental places were closed for the season. If there was a way to include or even add on kayaks available for use, that would have been stellar. I realize not everyone enjoys paddling, but it could be a nice amenity offered, even as a surcharge with waiver! My only other suggestion would be to try to hide a semi full length mirror in maybe one of the closets if possible, but I understand space is an issue. We were appreciative of the two bathrooms and two bedrooms, which was one of the reasons I chose this accommodation. Definitely a unique stay that had more space than one hotel room too!
