Our overall experience was wonderful. Communication with the owner was great and it was a perfect location. The kitchen had everything we needed and we sat on the little porch, which was nice too. The only thing I would recommend is more shampoo and body soap. There was only one little bottle and it was only half full, and there was four of us. If we all would have showered, there wouldn’t have been enough shampoo. The other thing I didn’t like was that we had to do the dishes and take the garbage out. I rent a cabin and I never asked the people to take the garbage out or do the dishes. But none of that ruined our experience and we would definitely recommend this place. We loved it.

Great location, convenient to all the downtown Boston attractions and public transit options. Safe and secure inside the marina gates, surrounded by beautiful boats and yachts. Amenities are similar to an RV, so be mindful of the small shower, plastic toilet, etc. no issue for my family, we loved our stay.

The boat and the Navy Yard/ wharf area were awesome! Sherrie checked us in and made sure we had everything we needed and was super helpful. The area was full of history and felt super safe. My little boy ran on the wharf in the morning as the sun came up and my girls took pictures in the area after dark. It was an awesome experience all around. Highly recommend!

Fantastic home base for our Boston adventure

We’d never stayed in a houseboat previously, and I’m surprised how much we loved the stay on the “Blue Pearl”. My kids loved the loft, and the gentle boat rocking. The location was excellent— a short ferry ride to long wharf, and we even had a front row view to the Harborfest fireworks. It was great having a kitchen & full-size fridge to cook dinners/breakfasts.The marina itself was super quiet, and we had a quiet restful stay. We had groceries delivered and were able to save money cooking on our trip.The boat itself was clean, comfortable (two window unit ACs), and well cared for. We have rented RVs before so the marine toilet/black tank was no sweat for us.Deb and Sherry were easy to communicate with both before and day-of checkin.We’d absolutely return to the Blue Pearl—it was a delight for us and our kids!

Great trip

Came for marathon weekend. This is a little off the beaten path, but perfect for an insane weekend. Kids loved the loft. We would usually do the 20-30 min walk into the city, otherwise Uber is great. Beautiful location, peaceful - would stay again in a heartbeat!

Perfectly quiet & relaxing for spring break vacation!

I had read in a novel about a family who lived on a house boat in the upper East coast area and wanted to experience it. This was the perfect way to experience house boat life! It was quiet and peaceful. My kids thought it was so fun too! It was a perfect location. Easy to get to North End, really anywhere if you were willing to walk, yet nice to retreat to when done exploring!
