We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay on Miss Molly...isn't she cute!
She currently is the lowest in price of our private vessels. Perhaps next time we might interest you in one of our larger more luxurious sailboats or motor yachts.
Call us any time and we will be happy to find something that fits your budget and needs.

Hotels can be wonderful, but there's certainly nothing like staying right on the water.
The Lady and the Coach (the yacht you stayed on) is one of a wide variety of privately owned vessels in our Bed & Breakfast Afloat, and we get new ones every year. We agree, she is a splendid yacht to spend a night, or a week if you have the time.
This past season the Lady and the Coach was our most popular private vessel. We hope you can return soon for another wonderful vacation in Boston...don't forget to bring the kids.

We love reviews…no matter whether it’s a pat on the back, or this-or-that could be better - it’s all about the guests’ enjoyment and always finding ways to improve.
A little background: this was the busiest day in Boston this year. Tall Ships come to Boston only once every eight years and the event brings millions of visitors and thousands of boats to Boston Harbor. Our Bed & Breakfast and marina were sold-out. On that afternoon, about a quarter million visitors (including this guest) came to Boston for Tall Ships. We are located at Constitution Marina where every single slip was filled beyond capacity...boats were rafted side-by-side. We probably had over 1,000 people come through that day.
Regarding parking - with over 400 spaces there is plenty of parking. However, because of the special event the lot was very busy that day.
The houseboat in question (Port) has a lovely view, you can see it on our website. There are flowers planted all around this small houseboat, and though there are some boats in front, our guests can enjoy a wonderful view of the inner harbor and the North End. Regarding the retaining wall – this is on the water at a marina, and behind many of the boats is a retaining wall. Tides drop ten feet at low tide and as the tide-level goes down more of the retaining wall (behind the houseboat) comes into view - that’s normal for any marina.
The historic USS Constitution is at the next dock and we encourage our guests to go to the end of our dock where there is a splendid view of “Old Ironsides” and the inner harbor.
When our guests inquire about breakfast, we let them know that we give them $6 gift certificates per person to a “European style café & bakery” next door. You can view their menu at www.sorellecafe.com/citysquare.html. We love the Breakfast Fajitas and Latte’s.
Again, we are happy when we receive any review. Our guests’ opinions are VERY important to us and we strive to respond to any and all requests.

Thank you for your kind review. All feedback (whether positive or negative) is so important to us. Our philosophy is, “it’s ALL about the guest”, and we strive to respond to our guests’ needs and comfort. We were not aware of the movement of the picture on the wall and we will button down the hatches, so-to-speak.
Please accept our apologies for the wake action. Casita, or “little house” is our economy vessel, and its size certainly lives up to its name. Maybe next time you can enjoy a larger vessel.
Please know that we sincerely appreciate that you took the time to post this review. Thank you so much and we hope we get to enjoy the pleasure of your company again the next time you visit Boston. We are open May 1 – October 31.
Best regards...
Bobby T

We were happy to receive this review and we changed the location of the Sea Chalet to a spot with un-obstructed views, from the deck of this small houseboat.
We also replaced the seal in the toilet right after you told us about it. It's normal "wear and tear” but we're sorry that we did not notice it prior to your arrival.
You are certainly right that staying on a boat is not for everyone. Being a small houseboat the Sea Chalet does have a certain amount of movement. Perhaps next time you might try one of our larger vessels where there is considerably less movement. However, there will always be some motion on any boat – many people find it quite comforting with the feeling of a gentle rocking to sleep.
Thank you for posting this review. This kind of constructive feedback helps us to make our bed and breakfast a more comfortable place for future guests.
