The james River can be an awesome place to spend your time during winter months, weather permitting. So I am offering my guests who want to experience a winter on the river, a weather related full booking refund, less Homeaway fees. Here is how it works. You tell me what would be unacceptable to you weather wise, and if the forecast calls for that inclement weather to occur, then I will honor even on the day of your intended arrival a full refund. And I will be happy to help you find other suitable accommodations. Unlike some small enterprises we are not all about the money, we really do want our guests to enjoy their stay while aboard the GiaMaria. As for the vessel, she is a 50' Chris Craft Houseboat that has been completely remodeled inside and out in order to give our guests a home like atmosphere without losing the feel of being on an old riverboat. It is modern in every sense of the word. It has been reconstructed to have a large bathroom with a full sized vanity, a 4' designer shower, ventilator fans, and its own USCG certified sanitation system. It comes complete with a queen eleven inch memory foam mattress (Sleep Innovations) and high quality bedding, a small but complete galley and a large salon for relaxing. Outside you will find a very large upper deck for morning coffee or sunning that offers great views and a lower covered bow deck.
