This was a fun and unique place to stay. The common space was bigger than expected and very comfortable. The boat was a little difficult to board, especially with luggage but doable for the average person.

This is the 2nd time we’ve booked a boat in the Charlestown marina and it was a great way to see the Boston area! The hosts were very quick to respond to whatever we needed!

Wonderful location & property

Staying on the sea pearl made our girlfriend getaway in Boston extra special. Wonderful place to stay with all the amenities and a beautiful quiet part of Boston. Looking forward to the opportunity to win I can go back and stay longer

Loved being able to stay on a boat and away from the hubbub of the city. The gentle rocking of the boat was soothing as we drifted off to sleep!

Great stay and awesome communication

The location is awesome, you can walk to the USS Constitution and the ferry to the north end. Boat is very nice. The check in was amazing. Some advice- it is a steep step climb to the boat so pack accordingly (our heavy suitcases were a challenge but was workable…use duffles if you can (we were on the road for a while so this was on us). The only other thing to note is the stove does not work, we bought stuff to cook but it is just a microwave. Overall, awesome stay.

Good “Man-cation”

None of us had stayed on a boat before. We didn’t know exactly what to expect. Kind of like an RV on the water. Small but useable bathrooms. Good A/C. Comfortable beds. That’s all guys need.

Boston on a boat!

What a unique experience! The boat was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Having coffee on the deck watching the sunrise was amazing. The host was super responsive. The marina is close to everything. We were able to walk to everything! We would definitely go again!

Unique house boat vacation

The Sea Pearl was a wonderful boat, perfect for 6 of us! Myself, my husband and our four boys enjoyed the unique setting on Charlestown Harbor. The ‘neighbors’ were quiet, the cabin was comfortable, the AC was inviting on the hot days. The check in and check out process was super easy, the parking was close by and unloading was a breeze! This is a great location, a short and comfortable walk away from the USS Constitution and the freedom trail!

Fun graduation weekend

Communication with the owner was excellent. Her property manager was timely, helpful, thorough and welcoming. Everything was just as stated. The Sea Pearl was cozy. We walked to the USS constitution and to the north end. Having a Dunkin with a few minutes walk was fantastic.

Indulgent!

Perfect place for a girls reunion, on the water in a very special and indulgent environment. A Yacht in Boston Harbour was the most wonderful place for us all to reunite, reminisce and celebrate our bond made the previous year. We walked everywhere and also took a water taxi across the inner harbour. We loved every moment on the Sea Pearl and say thank you to Deb for everything! Our stay was not long enough so will have to do it again!

Great & unique stay in Boston!

Our family of 5 loved the unique experience of staying on a boat in the Boston Harbor for our recent trip to Boston. While the boat is a little aged, it is well taken care of & provided a great short stay for my husband and I, and kids ages 15, 11 & 9. The Charlestown Marina is beautiful and very clean and safe, it was a great retreat from the busyness of Boston. Deb was great to communicate with and Sherrie was especially appreciated as she helped us get settled in the middle of a thunderstorm and torrential downpour. The small space might get a little cramped for a longer stay, but for our 2 night visit to Boston, it was the perfect fit!

Nice that could be cleaner.

It was everything we thought as far as location in the boat itself, but the exterior of the boat was in need of a cleaning the bathtowels. What didn't you and mildew smelling the betting was tingy. And a little smelly, but overall, the place was clean in general. And had everything you'd want or need.

Not as romantic as it seems

Boat was pretty dirty. Inside and out. There was an ever present odor from the bilge that at times was quite strong. Only one of the bathrooms was operational the first night. Second night there was quite a bit of traffic on the dock that was loud. Bedclothes were all stained and old. For the money it was certainly not worth it.

Overall acceptable

Smaller then expected especially the bed in the small bedroom. The smell is horrible but I guess it is normal on a boat. Luckyly I had some car freshener to put in the bedroom and some fleecy sheets to help a bit. We couldn't use the 'stove top' because of state law (or city law can't remember) so we only had the microwave and the small fridge. Also, if the lady who welcome you is in the parking lot (which happen a lot) you can't enter the parking lot as of there is a limit of entry permited by account. We had to pay for the parking because we couldn't reach her. Anyway, we had to try the experience on a boat and we can say it is done!... but a non repeat for us!

Disappointed

The boat is old and the pictures are NOT current - bait and switch situation! There was a funky smell in the smaller bunk room, the fan was on full blast when we arrived, so I know they must have been trying to alleviate the funk. Lights broken and hanging in the larger bunk room (the owner did come and climb into our unmade bed and stuck it back in the wall, although it's not fixed, just wedged in the opening). One bathroom light was burned out and most of the light covers are missing. In the main cabin, there is a sharp screw sticking down out of one light. Vents in the bathroom were caked with dusk. The skyward hatch in the main bunk cabin, was also dirty, and not great since your face is about 2' away. A piece of trim was hanging off the main door. Furniture inside and out is worn and/or dirty. The outside of the boat is not well taken care of either, it's dirty, the upholstery is worn and there is junk wedged in all corners, an overturned plant, and there's a dirty tarp collecting water and leaves as you enter the boat. We received 4 pages of instructions and the instructions book in the boat had conflicting information. This was extremely overprices and we are so disappointed.

When I went to book this property the price changed on booking. This was in addition to other charges that international guests may not be aware of which also need to be added. None the less I elected to proceed as I was meeting one of my children who now lives in Belgium for his Harvard Graduation and catching up was a special occasion for us . We are familiar with boats. Location suited us as we did have a car but it is also relatively easy to get many places without using it. The check in process of having to meet someone at a specific time to gain access,(not advised at time of booking) and the condition of the boat were both a little disappointing. The marina has no special Boston ambience. The boat, furniture and overall presentation are a little tired.. Internet connection is poor. It lacks amenities such as an iron that most hotel rooms would provide. Value for money not there for experience provided in this instance.
