About this property
Boston Harbor Yacht, AC/Heat, Walk to North End WiFi
If you are planning a trip to Boston consider staying on our very comfortable motor yacht "Sea Pearl" in historic Charlestown on Boston Harbor. We are located in the new Charlestown Marina close to the USS Constitution, Freedom Trail and Bunker Hill monument. The North End is a very pleasant walk of less than 1 mile.
Our 2003 Carver yacht is perfect for two couples with two staterooms ( bedrooms) each with a queen size bed and baths with showers. Additional sleeping is available in the full size pullout in the salon.
Kitchen with microwave/confection oven, small refrigerator and freezer, and coffee maker.
The yacht is fully air conditioned and heated during the winter. Stay connected with free WiFi. Two TVs with cable TV.
Small outside seating on the stern of the boat and larger seating area up one level to the helm station. Please note the boat is stationary during your visit and can not be driven.
Accessible to all of Boston via car, bus, and water taxi. Walk to many area restaurants, Freedom Trail, Bunker Hill, USS Constitution and the North End. Parking is available but must be reserved ahead or spaces can be full. Please confirm with us if you need it.
Free bus to the North End two blocks away, MBTA Water shuttle is less than 10 minute walk and the shuttle drops you off at Long Wharf right next to the New England Aquarium
Safe and friendly neighborhood. Gated entrance to the marina. Please note, stairs can be challenging to anyone with mobility issues. Please check photos.
Our yacht provides a exciting unique remedy for a busy vacation. Wake to the sound of gulls. Have your coffee while watching the sun come up over the harbor. Spend a busy day seeing the sites and return to quiet on the water. Sip a cocktail outside of the deck watching the harbor and finally be rocked to sleep at night in our comfortable beds done up in premium linens.

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.
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.
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.
Our family of 5 loved the unique experience of staying on a boat in the Boston Harbor for our recent trip to Boston. While the boat is a little aged, it is well taken care of & provided a great short stay for my husband and I, and kids ages 15, 11 & 9. The Charlestown Marina is beautiful and very clean and safe, it was a great retreat from the busyness of Boston. Deb was great to communicate with and Sherrie was especially appreciated as she helped us get settled in the middle of a thunderstorm and torrential downpour. The small space might get a little cramped for a longer stay, but for our 2 night visit to Boston, it was the perfect fit!

Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness
Nice that could be cleaner.
It was everything we thought as far as location in the boat itself, but the exterior of the boat was in need of a cleaning the bathtowels. What didn't you and mildew smelling the betting was tingy. And a little smelly, but overall, the place was clean in general. And had everything you'd want or 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!
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.
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 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!!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Staying on the sea pearl made our girlfriend getaway in Boston extra special. Wonderful place to stay with all the amenities and a beautiful quiet part of Boston. Looking forward to the opportunity to win I can go back and stay longer
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!
What a unique experience! The boat was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Having coffee on the deck watching the sunrise was amazing. The host was super responsive. The marina is close to everything. We were able to walk to everything! We would definitely go again!
