Wonderful!

Delightfully unique experience
Loved being on the water. Surprisingly stable. Internet was available but a bit weak.
Very clean and very well taken care of. A way to wind down after a day of touring Boston
We enjoyed coming back from a long day of touring Boston. The houseboat is very clean, comfortable and well stocked to cook meals. The only thing I would complain about is the noise from airplanes flying directly over early in the morning. There are other road and industrial noises but hey, it's Boston. The boat itself is fantastic.
Great spot off the beaten path in Boston
We stayed on the Blue Pearl for a week to run the Boston marathon. We had an excellent time. The houseboat has everything you need with decent sized gallery and very functional bathroom. There is not laundry on board, but there are plenty of drop off facilities for laundry in the neighborhood. Our kids loved the loft and the balcony out front.
It is a short walk to the bus stop that gets you to the T and, from there, anywhere in Boston. You definitely know that you are staying near a busy port, but we felt it added to the ambiance of staying on the water. We will definitely try to find the Blue Pearl next time we are in Boston! Thanks so much.
Totally unique experience!
A must-do for water lovers! Gorgeous sunset views. We watched the big boats come through the raised bridge. Perfect location for a Boston visit. Directions were crystal clear... the houseboat was super easy to find. The kids went bananas for the loft space. Truly a great family memory.
A life-time of memories in a few days on the houseboat
What a unique way to experience Boston. Cozy and comfortable in spite of the wind and rain outside, my visit to my sister was made especially memorable by our stay in this well-appointed houseboat. Because of the loft area, we were able to invite her grandchildren to join us for one of the nights. Great kitchen and exceptional shower. (You can't fall - the walls are too close to your body. The houseboat was close to places we wanted to visit and convenient to excellent restaurants. We'll never forget this Thanksgiving.
Wonderful views
Very cute and enjoyed drinking coffee on the deck and wine on the upper deck! Clean and stocked with all supplies. Very pleasant weekend. My only compliant was the airplanes going over head which didn't bother me but did bother my guest. Many fun memories. Thank you
