About this property
July 2nd + 3rd "Boston Harborfest /Fireworks 2025 on the Harbor" Fireworks 7/2
What better way to see Boston than on a houseboat in the harbor with plenty of fresh air! Set in historic Boston Harbor in a protected state of the art gated and secure marina the Green Turtle I is the perfect choice for your visit. We are located in Boston's Charlestown Neighborhood which is home to the USS Constitution (Old Ironsides) and the Bunker Hill Monument. Charlestown is Boston's oldest neighborhood.
There are wonderful restaurants within walking distance of the Green Turtle.
The Green Turtle I is an award winning floating houseboat which has 2 separate suites which can accommodate 2 people in each suite. Each suite is very private. The price reflects one suite. We have been awarded The Travelers Choice and The Best of Boston Award.
We are a short distance away from the North End, Fanueil Hall and the Boston Common. It is easy to get around by foot, ferry, free shuttle bus , Uber or Taxi. Catch the Green Line to get to a game at Fabulous Fenway
Each suite has a kitchenette and a private bathroom en suite. The Green Turtle was designed for comfort above all and the only reminder your floating in Boston Harbor is the sound of the gulls, motion of the sea and reflection of the ocean dancing on the ceiling.
Relax reclined on our dock chairs or sip gourmet coffee from the comfort of a well placed rattan chair.
We provide luxury linens and towels. Your suite has a queen sized bed, small window table with rattan chairs and a kitchenette with a small refrigerator and microwave. We stock your suite with coffee, tea, cream, milk and water.
If your dates are not available please check dates on sister suite listing #2752527

About the area
Boston
Located in Charlestown, a neighbourhood in Boston, this houseboat is near theme parks and on the waterfront. Museum of Science and Boston Museum of Fine Arts are cultural highlights, and travellers looking to shop may want to visit Faneuil Hall Marketplace and Harvard Square. Consider Encore Boston Harbor for a night out, and don't miss New England Aquarium, a top local attraction. Power boating, sailing and fishing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with cycling nearby.
