The Green Turtle is on Boston Harbor in The Historic Charlestown Navy Yard
Location: Boston, Greater Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Accommodations: Bed and Breakfast Houseboat, Studio, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
The Green Turtle is a Floating Bed & Breakfast as luxurious as it is unique. Set in historic Charlestown Navy Yard, the Green Turtle offers an expansive view of the Boston Harbor skyline along with the comfort and amenities of a modern bed and breakfast. Charlestown is home to the USS Constitution and Museum and the Bunker Hill Monument. Walk the Freedom Trail to the North End and Downtown Boston or take the water taxi from your front door to numerous points along the city's waterfront. From the airport, water taxi is the fastest way to get to the B & B. Free bus service is available in the Navy Yard to numerous points of interest or take the water ferry($1.70) to Fanueil Hall/Quincy Market, The North End and the Aquarium.
Enjoy the comforts of a bed and breakfast and the privacy of a hotel room. The suite has a kitchenette and a private bathroom en suite. The Green Turtle was designed for comfort above all and the only reminder you're floating in Boston Harbor is the sound of the gulls, motion of the sea, and reflection of the ocean dancing on the ceiling.
Relax with a delightful continental breakfast while reclined on our dock chairs or sip gourmet coffee from the comfort of a well placed rattan chair. Breakfast pastries are placed outside your room each morning. The kitchen is stocked with fruit, granola and other snacks.

What a fabulous birthday even without the fireworks. It was so cozy especially watching the snow blowing outside. We will be back again hopefully in the spring. Thanks for the wonderful breakfast treats. Your hospitality was outstanding!

What a perfect birthday surprise! A trip to the spa, dinner at Ida's and the best surprise staying on the floating B & B, with friends and family. It was the best. Thank you again for a fabulous "60" birthday surprise.

We love staying at the Green Turtle. The ambience, comfort and the view can't be beat! And the hosts are so pleasant. The Green Turtle is The Place to stay while in Boston. We will definitely be back---and we will tell all our friends about this B & B.

Having been lucky enough to stay here for a month, I can't imagine being able to leave in less time! The sunrises over East Boston, tugboats and tankers passing silently by, the city lit up at night (my version of a Christmas tree this December) and mostly gentle rocking to sleep have made my stay here simply enchanting! I can't wait to return next summer to enjoy a cold beer on the dock. Thank you for your warm hospitality and this amazing spot.

You made believers of us! We never want to stay in a hotel again in Boston. The Green Turtle is comfortable and luxurious with everything you could possibly need or want. With the Constitution next door this is the quintessential Boston experience. Thank you for your hospitality and we hope to be back soon!

What a delightful surprise! We love our charming and cozy "Little Floating House" - from the sunrise to the city lights, the view is fantastic and all your special touches pampered us to the max! Thank you so much for everything. We will be back. P.S How can you beat being rocked to sleep on the water!?! *Single digits, high winds Saturday night and we floated comfy and toasty warm!
