Green Turtle Floating Bed and Breakfast

The Green Turtle is a floating bed & breakfast as luxurious as it is unique. Set in historic Charlestown Navy Yard on Boston Harbor, this B & B offers an expansive view of the Boston Harbor skyline along with the comfort and amenities of a modern bed and breakfast. Charlestown is the home of the USS Constitution "Old Ironsides" and museum, Bunker Hill Monument and the Freedom Trail. Charlestown has numerous dining choices from bagels to world famous fine dining all within walking distance from the Green Turtle. Walk the freedom trail to the North End and downtown Boston or take the water taxi from your front door to numerous points along the city's waterfront. Water taxi is the fastest way to get to the Green Turtle from the airport. They will drop you off and pick you up at your front door. The water ferry is just 3 piers away from the Green Turtle which will bring you to Long Wharf which is home to the aquarium and a short walk to Fanueil Hall/Quincy Market and the cost is just $1.75 per person each way. There is also a free bus shuttle in the Navy Yard to North Station where you can travel to any parts of the city by subway.
The Green Turtle Bed and Breakfast offers two private rooms. Enjoy the comforts of a bed and breakfast and the privacy of a hotel room. Each room has a kitchenette and a private bathroom en suite. Breakfast pastries are placed outside your room each morning. The Green Turtle's rooms were designed for comfort above all and the only reminder you're floating in Boston Harbor is the sound of the gulls, motion of the sea, and reflection of the ocean dancing on the ceiling.
