About this docked boat rental
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.

You won’t regret staying on the Green Turtle ll. Jon and Karen made our stay in Boston so memorable. We will definitely reach out when we are back in the area. Thank you again for everything… tips for where to eat, things to do in the city and of course Karen’s homemade pastries.

Jon & Karen go the extra mile to be sure all of their guests are well taken care of, from the inside scoop on restaurants to water bottles, juice, coffee and pastries on the boat!
The location and the water are tranquil to come back to after a day of touring the city.

We loved staying on the boat and seeing all of the great things around Boston. Jon was terrific and gave us such great ideas and options for things to see and getting around easily. They are wonderful hosts and you will enjoy the accommodations. I highly recommend this for anyone considering staying here. We are a family of 5 with grown children and we fit comfortably. Parking was easy and convienient, easy to locate the pier and very safe. A+++ VRBO!

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.

So much more fun than a hotel! Proximity to Downtown Boston and the North End in particular. No need for a car and battling traffic. A great experience that our friends are already talking about doing themselves. See you next summer!

What a great place to stay in/near Boston! Wife, kids, and I were rocked gently to sleep in Jon and Karen’s yacht. Jon met us at the parking lot on the pier, walked us to the yacht, and showed us all the ropes. He is extremely gracious, kind, and patient. The boat has great accommodations including queen fore and aft bedrooms, and a pull out in the living room. There’s a kitchenette, back patio, bow, and top captains area. There’s tons of room! We walked a short distance into Charlestown for dinner, which was super convenient. You should consider making meal reservations ahead of time. We walked right past the USS Constitution, a nice outdoor bar, and a playground on our way back.
The surrounding boats and well-lit dock are very peaceful at night, almost as amazing as watching the sunrise while drinking fresh-brewed coffee from the yacht on the water! Hosts also included cereal/muffins for breakfast for us. Shower was hot and with quality shampoo (as opposed to most hotels). Check out was easy. We would for sure come back! Thanks Jon and Karen!

It was clean convenient and Jon was super professional he met us at the gate help with the luggage explained how to get and use local transportation to get to the attractions we want to visit. He formalized us with local restaurants and their locations. The boat gently rolled us to sleep and we really enjoyed seating on deck with our favorite beverage It was an experience we are looking forward to repeating in the near future.

This was the best part of my Boston stay, even though there were torrential rains while we were checking in! Jon met us in the parking lot and assisted with our belongings. He went over everything thoroughly on the boat and gave us pointers on how to get around town. The yacht was impeccably clean and stocked with everything we would need for our stay. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for something a little different and away from the overcrowded streets of Boston.

Wonderful hosts who go above and beyond to make their guests feel welcome and comfortable. Our party of 4 thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay thanks to Jon and Karen. Great location, easy to get to all Boston has to offer, plus great baked goods and essentials from the hosts. Thanks to Jon and Karen for making our family reunion a happy, worry free event. We miss the Green Turtle already!

First, Jon and Karen are superb hosts. They supplied paper products, coffee, tea, milk, juices, yogurt, and water. Spectacular! And…the best muffins and blueberry bread I’ve had in quite a long time!
Second, the location is great. Easy to walk to downtown or the water taxi. In 4 days we walked over 80k steps!!!
Third, you’re on a boat! How unique! Very relaxing to sit on the decks and great rooms to sleep in. So cool!
Thank you Jon and Karen for a great experience and VRBO stay!!

Jon made our stay absolutely pleasurable. We really enjoyed his presence and his knowledge of all things nautical. Wicked friendly guy, almost felt like family… in a weird kind of way.

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.

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!

Captain John and Kathy are real ambassadors for the city of Boston! We stayed for about 5 days while there to compete in the Boston Marathon. John provided so many helpful suggestions to maximize our time visiting the city and utilize easy public transportation options. His suggestion of using the 7-Day T pass was awesome! The listing is accurate, and the accomodations are comfortable especially for our family of 5 & marathon runner. I would return to this exact listing if visiting again!

We had such a lovely time staying here! The communication with the owners was perfect and they made us feel so welcome and comfortable. My 9 year old said that staying here was the best part about our time in Boston. When we make it back to Boston we would love to stay here again! Quite an experience for Arizona desert dwellers.

We came to Boston for our first time to not only visit my son who now lives and works here but to vacation and take in the sights. My husband and I brought my oldest son and my elderly parents. Jon was the perfect host from beginning to end. He helped us plan our stay to get the best out of our vacation time. The Green Turtle 2 was an amazing experience. My favorite time of day is sunrise. The Aft deck offered a daily tranquil space with amazing views to take in with my morning coffee. The location is perfect for easily experiencing all that Boston has to offer. Thank you Jon!

Wonder views at night. Sitting on the deck with coffee in the morning and cocktails at night was our favorite thing about the boat!

The Green Turtle is once of a kind! Karen and Jon were exceptional. We received a tour of the yacht, directions / transportation options throughout the city, recommendations for activities and dinner, and more! The harbor is beautiful, especially the sunrise. The community is safe, and protected by a locked door into the marina. We felt comfortable walking everywhere. If your looking for a unique way to experience Boston…hands down,this is the best way to do it!

Staying on this boat was the icing on the cake for our trip. Waking up and having coffee on the deck and being able to come back at the end of the day and sit on the deck and chat was so peaceful. Would highly recommend to anyone and I will definitely be back.

Thanks so much for your hospitality.
