Boston Harbor Yacht, AC/Heat, Walk to North End WiFi

We had an amazing trip to Boston.

When I went to book this property the price changed on booking. This was in addition to other charges that international guests may not be aware of which also need to be added. None the less I elected to proceed as I was meeting one of my children who now lives in Belgium for his Harvard Graduation and catching up was a special occasion for us . We are familiar with boats. Location suited us as we did have a car but it is also relatively easy to get many places without using it. The check in process of having to meet someone at a specific time to gain access,(not advised at time of booking) and the condition of the boat were both a little disappointing. The marina has no special Boston ambience. The boat, furniture and overall presentation are a little tired.. Internet connection is poor. It lacks amenities such as an iron that most hotel rooms would provide. Value for money not there for experience provided in this instance.

We had a wonderful stay here. It’s a beautiful and well maintained yacht with excellent access to all the Boston hot spots within walking distance. We stayed in November and the boat kept us nice and toasty warm. The only downside was that we were asked not to use the stove which kind of limited our options in the kitchen.

The location is excellent for easy access to downtown Boston. This is a unique, fun option compared to the usual hotels. We were greeted at the gate upon arrival. Everything was well explained pertaining to our stay on the boat.

The Sea Pearl was great. It was in a great location, in walking distance to the USS Constitution and the Freedom Trail. The beds were comfortable. The living space was ample for four adults. Sherry met us to let us in and orient us to the boat and the marina area, which was helpful. Deb and her husband (owners) were very responsive when we couldn’t figure out the heating system. We would definitely stay on the Sea Pearl again if we returned to Boston.

The hosts were fabulous. We felt very safe and comfortable staying on the yacht. The location was good for getting around. The yacht was clean and well stocked. It was a fun experience for a girls trips. Would definatly book again!!

What a unique experience!!! The boat was clean, the air worked great (who knew that you would need A/C in October!). The “neighborhood” was super easy to get around. I can’t say enough positive things about the place!

What wonderful hosts. We felt that they went above and beyond from before we arrived until after. The yacht was a joy to stay on during our Boston visit.

Very unique stay, enjoyed it very much especially being a boat owner and growing up camping on the lakes as a child. Regarding the logistics, host has it planned out and executes to their plan which allows this unique experience pleasing. So great walking and waking next to million dollar yachts.

Great location. The Property Manager met us and really helped make us comfortable. Easy to get to Boston also.

This was the perfect location for our family (two adults and two older teen boys). We felt very safe and we were able to walk (we like to walk) to everything we wanted to do. There was a small grocery store just a few blocks away for us to pick up breakfast, coffee, etc. The beds were very comfortable and the AC worked well. It was nice to sit above board and watch the sunset over the harbor. And the communication with Deb was great. It was nice to have a comfortable homebase for a few days in Boston. We would definitely stay here again.

It was really fun and different to stay on a boat instead of at a traditional property. The boat was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Parking at the marina was convenient too.

This was a fun and unique place to stay. The common space was bigger than expected and very comfortable. The boat was a little difficult to board, especially with luggage but doable for the average person.

We had a great time in a very nice location. Easy access to historic landmarks and water taxi transportation.

The location is awesome, you can walk to the USS Constitution and the ferry to the north end. Boat is very nice. The check in was amazing. Some advice- it is a steep step climb to the boat so pack accordingly (our heavy suitcases were a challenge but was workable…use duffles if you can (we were on the road for a while so this was on us). The only other thing to note is the stove does not work, we bought stuff to cook but it is just a microwave. Overall, awesome stay.

Beautiful and clean boat. Great Harbor location

Very relaxing and quiet area.

None of us had stayed on a boat before. We didn’t know exactly what to expect. Kind of like an RV on the water. Small but useable bathrooms. Good A/C. Comfortable beds. That’s all guys need.

Smaller then expected especially the bed in the small bedroom. The smell is horrible but I guess it is normal on a boat. Luckyly I had some car freshener to put in the bedroom and some fleecy sheets to help a bit. We couldn't use the 'stove top' because of state law (or city law can't remember) so we only had the microwave and the small fridge. Also, if the lady who welcome you is in the parking lot (which happen a lot) you can't enter the parking lot as of there is a limit of entry permited by account. We had to pay for the parking because we couldn't reach her. Anyway, we had to try the experience on a boat and we can say it is done!... but a non repeat for us!

This is the 2nd time we’ve booked a boat in the Charlestown marina and it was a great way to see the Boston area! The hosts were very quick to respond to whatever we needed!
