Houseboat in Boston Harbor

Staying on the houseboat is a unique and very fun way to visit Boston. Many of my guests say they love visiting the city sights but can not wait to come home to the Blue Pearl and the relaxation that happens when you stay on the water. Walk to area attractions. Spend a busy day sightseeing in the city and return each evening to the peacefulness of being on the water. Sip a cocktail on one of two decks and watch the boats in the harbor. Be rocked to sleep each night.
