Miss Molly was small, but very nice on the inside and out. It was very fun, unique and interesting way of seeing Boston.

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.

My wife and i came for a night to get away from the kids, but enjoyed it so much, we stayed a second night and brought the kids. Highly recommend the lady and coach. read more
Innkeeper Response
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.

Innkeeper Response
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.

Innkeeper Response
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 Bed & Breakfast Afloat, Boston

Innkeeper Response
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.

We are proud to be the recipient of the Mayor's award for the most attractive deck landscaping in Boston. Come see our "gold-plated" gardeners shovel and plaque from the Mayor himself. Remember to pack your bathing suit. Our pool and beautiful deck features six gas grills and a variety of comfortable tables, chairs, and umbrellas, with a fabulous view of the harbor and Boston skyline – all for your pleasure...don't forget to pack your bathing suit! FALL SPECIAL - UNTIL OCT 31...ONLY $225 A NIGHT, (REGULAR $300)!! This extraordinary berth could be yours while in Boston. You will certainly enjoy your vacation in the master stateroom on the beautiful and luxurious ROZINANTE, a Vintage 60 foot vessel, located at the world famous Constitution Marina. She features a marble-lined JACUZZI, two small suites with separate bathrooms, and hand-finished teak fixtures throughout. This vintage vessel has all the comforts of home, combining the amenities of a hotel with the ambiance of a yacht on-the-water. The Rozinante is also available for your enjoyment to charter. Enjoy a day-sail or a romantic sunset-sail with up to 12 guests while you are visiting. We offer a $125 discount to our B&B guests.

Wow, doesn't this look fabulous! This main cabin will be yours to enjoy for a night or maybe even a week. No matter how long you stay you'll love your time on the motor-yacht Lady and the Coach. Don't forget to pack your bathing suit and enjoy our heated pool by the deck overlooking Boston Harbor, the North End, Bunker Hill Monument, the U.S.S Constitution, the salt air, and the sound of the pitter-patter of little feet around the pool...what a fantastic vacation! You'll be sleeping right at the Heart of the Freedom Trail. While here, let us make reservations at the world famous Olives restaurant (right across the street), or spend a romantic evening on a harbor dinner cruise on the lovely Odyssey or your own private sailboat charter. You deserve a little vacation! This will be the highlight of the year, and staying on the Lady & the Coach will be the icing on the cake. This is our fun economy houseboat "CASITA", only $165 a night double occupancy. She features a queen-size bed, separate bathroom, refrigerator, cable TV, AC, heat, and a lovely deck. The historic USS Constitution ("Old Ironsides") is just at the end of this dock. With a full Marine company, right next-door you will be safe and cozy; and if you listen closely, you might enjoy the Navy bugle playing taps ...but you better duck when the canon fires sunrise and sunset salutes. As the smallest of our vessels, she lives up to her namesake - Little House. Call ahead for reservations, the Casita books up quickly.
Wow, look at this bed…mmmmm mmmmm good! The fabulous Lady & the Coach features two Queen-size beds, and this luxury motor-yacht is plenty comfortable for a family up to six. Each of the suites has its own private bathroom and shower, the fly bridge way up high is where it’s really at! Wait till you see this yacht…you'll spend a night (or more) in the lap of luxury. Here's the outdoor cockpit on Miss Molly. At only $195 a night (for one bed), this vessel features two queen-size beds and has the best view of any vessel at Bed & Breakfast Afloat. Enjoy your breakfast by our heated pool, or bring it down to the Miss Molly and relax with a splendid view of the inner harbor and the Old North Church.
Wow...solid comfort...all yours for your vacation in Boston. Your family will love the Blue Hippo!

Your family will have the greatest vacation ever!
FALL SPECIAL - UNTIL OCT 31...ONLY $225 A NIGHT, (REGULAR $300)! The dining table on Rozinante is surrounded by hand-finished teak.

Come stay with us and enjoy a fabulous dinner in the luxury of your own private vintage sailing-yacht…you deserve something special! This is the Galileo. Though she has no A/c, she's very comfortable and inviting. Even on a hot night, just open up the hatches and enjoy that sea breeze. Galileo is a 40-foot trawler with many interesting hand-finished architectural features throughout. You'll love her generous teak and mahogany, and her beautiful parquet wood-floors. The master-berth features a fabulous feather mattress, and the guest quarters has a generous V-berth that's romantic and comfortable for two. Each stateroom has its own bathroom. The Galileo can accommodate up to five guests and is perfect for a family or for two couples on vacation. Guests often spend most of their time enjoying the fresh salt-air and the ambiance of her lovely fly bridge, up above deck. She's also available for private charter while you're visiting historic “Beantown”. Do you know why we're called "Beantown"
The marble-lined Spa on Rozinante with romantic lights and sound system, sit back and enjoy...it's mmmm mmmm, good!Here's one side of the forward V-berth on Galileo. It features side-by-side double beds that connect at the feet so you can play footsies! Look at that beautiful hand finished teak. The door to the right in this photo shows your private bathroom.
