4.4 out of 5Ideal Getaway on Boston's Waterfront
June 01, 2010
On boat at Lewis Wharf, private and secure, convenient to aquarium, historic downtown and North End restaurants, the "T" and water taxi. Boat clean, stocked and very comfortable. Will return.

Having stayed on the Golden Slipper 4 times(it might even be 5)I felt it was time to write a review letting everyone know how much fun it is to stay right in the heart of Boston on a boat. The boat is spacious and so comfortable. The marina is totally safe .I have stayed with friends as well as family. It is perfect for a "girlfriends get away" My son who travels all the time in his job and gets so tired of staying at hotels loves staying on the boat. He has stayed on the boat twice. I will be there again in May and I can't wait..Diane R.

This was new for us, staying on the water, in a boat, no less. However, we were quickly won over, by the charm and care of this lovely yacht. The innkeepers, Gretchen and Jack, were warm and helpful, with tips for navigating Historical Boston. I will be a return customer for years to come. Thanks! Joan

No Better escape than the Golden Slipper for an evening away from home and the kids. Make us feel young again when we're onboard our favorite personal B & B afloat. Looking forward to our next visit.
