About this property

"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.

A view of Bunker Hill

The stay was awesome. The boat was a little older, but it was well within our price range. It was like living in a gated community in Boston/Charlestown Harbor. It was super easy to get anywhere. We just 10 minute Uber to anywhere in Boston, Charlestown, and the casino.

Unforgettable memories

The Green Turtle was the cherry on top to our New England adventures. Perfect size for myself and two daughters (16 & 10). The check in process was excellent with a guided tour of the boat to ensure a comfortable stay followed by consistent and reliable communication between the manager and owners as needed. We highly recommended this unique stay for an all around amazing stay in Boston!

Wonderful boat in Boston

This was the best place we have ever stayed. This boat is perfect and the location is amazing. Jon and Karen were so responsive and helpful. The bathrooms are small and could be difficult to manage but that’s to be expected on a boat. The banana bread (baked by Karen) and other pastries were a great grab and go either late night or in the mornings. This was a great experience in the harbor - seeing the other boats and watching the ships come thru. We loved it!

Great stay!

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.

Boston Family Getaway June 2024

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!!

Memorable

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.
