Stafford County fire and rescue crews were called to boat fire in the 500 block of Hope Road.
The boat was reported to be fully engulfed in flames when fire crews arrived, sitting about 20 feet away from a garage at the house.
Dispatchers told fire crews the burning boat contained about 100 gallons of fuel.
A fire marshal was called to the scene to investigate the circumstances of the fire.
