"Travelers Choice Award" Spacious 2 bedrm 45 ft yacht close to the Freedom Trail
What better way to spend time in Boston during this time than on your own private yacht. Come social distance on your own private yacht! Your yacht will be cleaned and disinfected in between stays. All linens are changed and disinfected between stays. The Green Turtle II is a 45 foot motor yacht. Set in the historic Boston/Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston Harbor, the Green Turtle II offers an expansive view of Boston. The Green Turtle II is permanently docked at a protected marina during your stay. The USS Constitution, Bunker Hill Monument and the Freedom Trail are just a short walk away. Take the free bus shuttle to North Station(.07 miles away) to the subway to any of the sites. Enjoy the privacy of your own yacht. The Green Turtle was designed for comfort above all and the only reminder you are floating in Boston Harbor is the sound of the gulls, motion of the sea and reflection of the ocean dancing on the ceiling. Enjoy the outdoors on the comfortable aft deck watching the harbor traffic. The Green Turtle II can accommodate 2-6 people. She has 2 queen staterooms and the salon has a sleeper sofa for 2 along with comfortable seating. There is a dinette and galley along with a fantastic aft deck with comfortable outdoor seating area with spectacular views. She is heated and air conditioned. We will meet you on the pier and bring you to the boat and orient you to the boat and how to get around. We will also make recommendations.

What a great way to enjoy a weekend in Boston. Check in was seamless, accommodations were just as described and Jon, Karen and Sherrie were so nice. The added touches, baked goods, coffee, tea, cream, sugar, butter, cream cheese etc were very much appreciated. Communication was easy and location was perfect. We traveled with another couple and we all really enjoyed our stay. Thank you for a truly memorable weekend!

Boat stay
The Boat was fun, location was great. Boat started to smell a little musty after day two and we got in trouble by the owner for leaving the windows cracked while we were out. Nice place to stay, but if you have any trouble navigating stairs or don't like confined showers, think twice.

An exciting change of pace to stay in a floating residence!
Thanks to the owners for making our last two days' visit in Boston a unique and memorable visit. We rented their yacht for two nights and enjoyed every inch of the vessel - early morning coffee on the upper deck, watching boats sailing by on a lazy Saturday afternoon and being rocked to sleep on the bay harbor dock.
What a fantastic visit and the owner even stopped by to check on how we were doing.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful boat with us and we hope to back again on our next trip to Boston!

100% Better than a Hotel
Two main berths with two bathrooms. Great location in a marina in Boston harbor. Easy to get anywhere in Boston, just park your car and use the ferries or Uber. Great restaurants and USS Constitution in walking distance. Jon and Karen are great hosts who check in with you make sure you have everything you need. The kitchen is packed with coffee and tea, fresh made muffins, juice, milk, butter, cream cheese and water.

Mom's 80th Birthday!
Family celebration for our Mom's 80th birthday. My Sister and I and our Mother stayed for 2 nights. The location is everything! Staff top notch. Pictures don't do it justice. The interior could use a couple minor updates, nothing major and not a deterent. Beautiful views and we were surprised with a full rainbow on our last day. Easy access, check-in process, quick response to any questions. We highly recommend and would do it again and again. Our Mom said "we can't top this one".

Its an older yacht that has been renting for many years but..its in great condition and we enjoyed our stay immensely. The views, the gentle waves rocking you to sleep, and all of the extras Jon and Karen put into their place was amazing! They made sure we knew everything needed about the yacht, the area, and free transportation. :) Would definitely stay again.

No cooking allowed !!!
If reading the VRBO ad it indeed notes a kitchenette…. In reality, there is no heating devices of any kind allowed on the boat per owners insurance. This includes a toaster or electric grill. We brought food for dinner but were unable to cook anything as the grill on the dock was out of gas. We did go out nightly for dinner but we were looking forward to a dinner or 2 at home with the grandchildren. The boat and host otherwise was great! Jon was interactive and knowledgeable.

We had a great stay on the boat. Jon showed us everything we needed to know to make the most of our stay both on the boat and in Boston. Beautiful, safe, well-kept marina property. Ferry to Long Wharf just a few piers down. We had a blast. Great way to experience Boston!!

Wonderful stay on the yacht
My husband and I booked this yacht as a fun change from a hotel on our last night in Boston. Jon is a wonderful host and took the time to share tips around the area and his wife had made us delicious muffins on top of several other nice touches. Our boys (ages 9 and 11) thought it was the coolest experience ever. The only bummer is we wish we had more time 😊. We hope to be back and highly recommend!

Unique Stay in Boston
We took our son and his girlfriend to Boston for part of their college spring break. We wanted to stay somewhere unique and had never done a boat before. I was a bit hesitant but it ended up to be so much fun and the kids loved it. The pastries provided and little items in the fridge were a special touch and much appreciated! Great location!

Great location for a family trip in Boston. Jon was a pleasure to work with and gave us his local knowledge. Transportation was convenient and the North End is walkable. The kids loved sleeping on the boat. The boat is spacious enough to hang out on a rainy day. Would gladly stay there again. Logistics - laundry at the top of the pier. Boston Water Taxi can pick up or drop off on the face dock of pier 8 if you call them ahead of time.
