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.

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.

Amazing Experience with Exceptional Hosts

What an experience for a summer visit to Boston. We stayed on Green Turtle II and our friends stayed on Green Turtle 1 for a weekend getaway to Boston. The location was perfect to see a concert at TD Garden, eat in North End and explore Charlestown. Our hosts Karen and Jon were fantastic in sharing all the best local spots and ensuring our stay was perfect including homemade baked goods. Ditch the hotel and plan your stay at Green Turtle.

Wonderful stay on the yacht

My husband and I booked this yacht as a fun change from a hotel on our last night in Boston. Jon is a wonderful host and took the time to share tips around the area and his wife had made us delicious muffins on top of several other nice touches. Our boys (ages 9 and 11) thought it was the coolest experience ever. The only bummer is we wish we had more time 😊. We hope to be back and highly recommend!

An exciting change of pace to stay in a floating residence!

Thanks to the owners for making our last two days' visit in Boston a unique and memorable visit. We rented their yacht for two nights and enjoyed every inch of the vessel - early morning coffee on the upper deck, watching boats sailing by on a lazy Saturday afternoon and being rocked to sleep on the bay harbor dock. What a fantastic visit and the owner even stopped by to check on how we were doing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful boat with us and we hope to back again on our next trip to Boston!

Mom's 80th Birthday!

Family celebration for our Mom's 80th birthday. My Sister and I and our Mother stayed for 2 nights. The location is everything! Staff top notch. Pictures don't do it justice. The interior could use a couple minor updates, nothing major and not a deterent. Beautiful views and we were surprised with a full rainbow on our last day. Easy access, check-in process, quick response to any questions. We highly recommend and would do it again and again. Our Mom said "we can't top this one".

Best ever

Within the first hour of checking in I was already sad about leaving the next day. Jon and Karen are hosts with the mosts: Jon was waiting for us when we arrived at the pier, escorted us to the boat and provided a thorough orientation. The marina itself is secure and not once did I feel unsafe or a need for caution. The boat is clean, cozy, beautifully appointed with anything that might be needed. My only reservation about recommending it so highly is I don’t want it to get overbooked so that I can’t go back!

Unique Experience

A cozy yacht with a beautiful view in the Charlestown Marina is an experience in itself. Combine that with the amazing kindness and hospitality from Jon and Karen and it's over the top wonderful. They made us feel like family. Jon and Karen were so welcoming, even before we arrived, Jon provided assistance helping us to navigate the entrance to the Marina and transporting luggage to the boat. Jon patiently explained every aspect of the yacht in order for us to fully enjoy our stay. This included suggestions for the neighborhood, restaurants, transit via buses and ferry service. Karen's welcome included beverages and amazing baked goods. Both graciously answered any questions in a prompt and courteous manner. A Wonderful couple and great stay.

We loved staying here! It was an adventure for us bc we’ve never stayed in a boat. We enjoyed walking the harbor in the mornings and getting coffee at a nearby cafe. We took an uber to the far end of the freedom trail and then walked all the way back. We enjoyed sitting up top and watching the water and some huge ships go by! The sunrises were beautiful. The heat worked great! The bed was comfy. We’d love to come back someday!
