"Travelers' Choice Award" Green Turtle I Houseboat in Boston Harbor!

What better way to see Boston than on a houseboat in the harbor with plenty of fresh air! Set in historic Boston Harbor in a protected state of the art gated and secure marina the Green Turtle I is the perfect choice for your visit. We are located in Boston's Charlestown Neighborhood which is home to the USS Constitution (Old Ironsides) and the Bunker Hill Monument. Charlestown is Boston's oldest neighborhood.
There are wonderful restaurants within walking distance of the Green Turtle.
The Green Turtle I is an award winning floating houseboat which has 2 separate suites which can accommodate 2 people in each suite. Each suite is very private. The price reflects one suite. We have been awarded The Travelers Choice and The Best of Boston Award.

We are a short distance away from the North End, Fanueil Hall and the Boston Common. It is easy to get around by foot, ferry, free shuttle bus , Uber or Taxi. Catch the Green Line to get to a game at Fabulous Fenway

Each suite has a kitchenette and a private bathroom en suite. The Green Turtle was designed for comfort above all and the only reminder your floating in Boston Harbor is the sound of the gulls, motion of the sea and reflection of the ocean dancing on the ceiling.

Relax reclined on our dock chairs or sip gourmet coffee from the comfort of a well placed rattan chair.

We provide luxury linens and towels. Your suite has a queen sized bed, small window table with rattan chairs and a kitchenette with a small refrigerator and microwave. We stock your suite with coffee, tea, cream, milk and water.

We chose to spend the last night of our Anniversary vacation at the Green Turtle. The hosts and staff were easy to work with (as I originally booked the wrong day) and the stocked fridge and breakfast treats were amazing. I highly recommend this experience!

We enjoyed our time at the Green Turtle. We had everything we needed and then a gentle rocking to sleep on the waves. I wish we could see through the amazing yacht that was parked next to us. The view would’ve been amazing. Nonetheless we’d come back again. Central to all the life of the city, but relaxing and calm among the hustle and bustle. Great hostess. Thank you, Brittany.

This was a great overnight surprise stay for my wife. The boat was clean and cost and had everything you need for a easy stay in Charlestown and walking distance to Boston. Jon was super friendly and the check in/out process was very easy. Would stay again for sure.

The Green Turtle was great. My husband and I loved the place. Thank you Sherri for carrying our bags in the cart to our houseboat for us. We also really enjoyed the pastries and all the drinks in the refrigerator. I will say this that I was nervous getting off and on the boat. A ramp would be great.

Staying at The Green Turtle was such a cool experience. I didn’t expect where I stayed to be part of the experience, but it was! Jon and Karen were great hosts, easily accessible and Jon gave such great suggestions on everything Boston when we arrived! Will most definitely be booking with them again and looking forward to it!
