General Information

Welcome aboard the Golden Slipper, Boston's Bed and Breakfast Afloat!


The Golden Slipper Bed and Breakfast, Dine and Cruise is a romantic getaway for two, as well as a fun adventure for families and couples alike. The traveling business person would also enjoy the unique alternative to a formal hotel. We now offer, at your request, a formal dinner for 4 to 6 people, as well as sunset and day cruises.

The Golden Slipper, Boston's original B&B Afloat is now a 1984 40' Classic Catalina Chris Craft located in the heart of historical Boston in the North End. The boat stays at the dock and you come and go as you please. This is a private party boat accommodating up to 6 people, with a continental breakfast left for you. At this very secure, locked marina you are within a short 10 min walk to Faneuil Hall Marketplace, The Freedom Trail, The New England Aquarium, Historical Museums, The Trolleys, and Boston's Little Italy, the North End.

Also, please inquire about touring the First Boat Building region of America (1640-1887) with innkeepers, Gretchen & Jack on their North & South River cruises.
