Boston Yacht Haven was extremely clean and quiet. Daily breakfast included with stay was delicious. Staff is friendly and helpful. The area is busy during the day but becomes quiet and private at night. Great area for walking to all amenities within 10 minutes

The location and lots of little extra touches make this hotel worth every penny. Fresh lemonade and hot drinks in the Captain's Lounge ... The beds were so so comfortable and sheets felt like silk ... I'd definitely stay here again if I am lucky enough to return to the beautiful city of Boston

I really loved it here. Very friendly staff. Very nice spacious rooms. Lovely breakfast. Loved the big bed and large TV. Great central air conditioning on a hot day. The complimentary wine and chocolates was so sweet. Great view of the water. Close to the best sights of Boston. I would stay here again.

We spent our 20th anniversary in Boston and lucked out finding this place. From the minute we checked in Maureen "Moe" made us feel super welcome. Everything you want, if you are visiting Boston and want a great and different experience, can be found starting with reservations at this place.

Charlestown Navy Yard

As the oldest neighborhood in Boston, you would expect Charlestown to feel infused with history and nostalgia. And while you won’t be disappointed, you might be surprised at just how contemporary it feels, too. After all, Charlestown is one of New England’s most diverse residential neighborhoods, as well as home to the thoroughly modern Charlestown Healthcare Center, part of Massachusetts General Hospital, a renowned teaching facility. And with both the Boston Harborwalk and the Freedom Trail passing directly through Charlestown, there’s no shortage of reminders of the city’s enduring connection to the greater Boston area.

New Look for Boston Harbor Marina

Renovations at Fan Pier Marina in Boston got underway in the spring of 2020. The work included reconfiguring the layout of the marina’s floats, modernizing the size of the docks and the installation of pile-held floating docks with gangway access points.

Chuck and Ann Lagasse bought Fan Pier Marina in August 2019 after managing it for several years. Through their company Ocean Havens, the Lagasses also own and run several other marinas in the Boston area including Boston Yacht Haven Marina, Boston Harbor Shipyard and Marina and Charlestown Marina.

Planning for the marina’s renovations began immediately after the purchase. Although the marina can accommodate large yachts up to 650 feet along its breakwater, the owners expect that some of the strongest demand for slips will come from residents of this tech-oriented, up-and-coming area of Boston Harbor. “We wanted a site that could basically cater to the future needs of the area, to yachts and to the people that live there now,” explained Matt Lussier, marina director.

The docks were constructed over the winter of 2020. “We were very lucky; before the pandemic actually took hold, our docks were pretty much in East Boston at our Boston Harbor Shipyard location. We were permitted and ready to go, so we simply brought them over and safely and securely got them installed,” Lussier added. There were some delays in getting utilities installed, however, so they were not able to fully finish the project.

When the work is completed in the spring of 2021, Fan Pier Marina will include a large breakwater as well as five inner docks. “For the 2020 season, we were able to provide new A, B, C and partial D docks. In the winter of 2020-2021, we will be adding the rest of the D dock and E dock, which will complete the entire facility for the time being,” said Lussier. There’s approximately 4,200 lineal feet of dockage, including the breakwater.

Slips are available in a variety of sizes. “We have T-heads for side ties, ranging from 70 feet up to 117 feet. We have 60-foot, double-loaded slips, we have 40-foot double loaded slips and a handful of 40-foot single loaded slips and 30-foot, double-loaded slips,” he added. The marina can accommodate around 100 boats along its interior docks

Long term, Lussier expects the marina will maintain a mix of about 60% seasonal customers and 40% transient. Freedom Boat Club is one customer; it maintains about 313 feet of dockage at the facility. The marina also offers electrical service from yacht power all the way down to 30-amp, complimentary water, WiFi, and, eventually, a pump-out boat. Boaters using the slips will receive discounts on fuel at the Lagasse’s Harbor Fuels location. The marina office also received an upgrade, moving from what Lussier describes as a telephone booth on the docks to a new location on the mainland next to the breakwater. “We have one of the most beautiful offices on the mainland,” said Ann Lagasse.

The renovations to the marina reflect the City of Boston’s requirements for maintaining public access to the waterways. At Fan Pier Marina, that access includes the breakwater. One improvement the Lagasses made to improve public access was to relocate the touch-and-go dock, where dinghies drop off their passengers, to a more convenient area. There’s also docking space for a water taxi and a commercial ferry at the marina, although these services are not operated by the Lagasses.

Boston’s Most Popular Experiences

Here are some of the best things to do on your Boston boat rental. Boston Harbor Use your Boston boat rental to visit Boston Harbor. Enjoy the picturesque harbor and everything that it has to offer. It might be the 21st century, but clippers, schooners, sloops, and other traditional boats can often be found in the Boston Harbor. Experience some real New England maritime heritage while cruising around the harbor. Lobstering Keep an eye out for lobsters because they are abundant in Boston Harbor. Ask your captain where the best places are to catch your own lobster. You can catch lobsters with gloved hands by teasing them out of holes with sticks. Once you have captured a big one, cook up that lobster yourself as you prepare your meal on the boat. Champagne Sunset Cruise Champagne Sunset Cruise Take a cruise around Boston Harbor at sunset while sipping glasses of cold champagne. A champagne sunset cruise with friends and family can be the perfect way to end your Boston boat cruise. Again, you may want to ask your captain for some help arranging your champagne sunset cruise.

Boston’s Best Bodies of Water

Harbor Islands

Near Boston Harbor is a National Park with more than 30 islands and peninsulas. All except three of the islands are open to the public, and they can be reached on your Boston boat rental. Take some overnight camping trips on the islands, near a secluded beach, and far from crowds and traffic. You can also try your luck at some fishing for flounder, stripers, cod, and bluefish.

Cuttyhunk Island

This is the furthest of the Elizabeth Islands in the entire state of Massachusetts. The harbor is protected by many sandbars that serve as excellent beaches to visit on your Boston boat rental. There is a service called the Harbor Raw Bar Boat that will deliver oysters, clams, chowder, and shrimp right to your Boston boat rental in the summer.

World’s End

In Hingham, less than ten nautical miles from Boston Harbor, is a small island called World’s End, with a beautiful protected cove. This is another option for escaping the crowds. You can cook some fresh seafood, lie in the sun on Nantasket Beach, and spend the day relaxing in the cove.
