WiFi is included free with the rental. The boat is fully air-conditioned and heated. Laundry facilities (as well as additional on-shore bathrooms and showers) are conveniently located right at the marina. Also right in the marina is the Tavern on the Water, a restaurant and bar with a great view of the Boston Skyline, and on-shore grilling and picnic facilities. We provide an iron, ironing board, hairdryer, and loads of bathroom products such as soaps, shampoos, and lotions. We even include lots of cooking ingredients such as coffee, herbs, spices, condiments, etc... The boat is large enough to comfortably accommodate up to five adults or 2 adults with a few children. It is fully air-conditioned and heated and has a large roof sun deck with a gas grill. All sheets and towels are provided. All this for less than the price of a regular hotel room at any of the nearby hotels!

You will be warmly greeted by your hosts, Peggy and Andy, who will take plenty of time to make sure you feel comfortable and familiar with all aspects of the boat and the local area. If you are flying into Boston, we can provide you with info to arrange for a private water taxi to pick you up at the airport and take you directly to the houseboat for $15 per person (kids free!) If you are arriving by car, you will avoid the hassle and expense of finding and paying for downtown parking. We will provide you a FREE! parking space right on the pier in the marina. You then will have the choice of using your own car for excursions away from downtown or availing yourself of the water shuttle or free bus service for local destinations. What's it like saying on a houseboat? The boat is in a protected part of the marina, but there is some occasional movement during the day when boats pass by. It is usually very calm during the night, although some guests find a bit of gentle swaying is relaxing

It is truly our goal that every guest have an exceptional and memorable experience, so come 'Float' away your tensions, inhale pure sea air and nautical vibes, 'chill' in an outdoor, downtown setting during the most picturesque time of the year! Ahhhh... SPECIAL NOTE: IF THIS BOAT IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE DATES YOU WANT, DON'T DESPAIR. WE HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED ANOTHER HOUSEBOAT WHICH IS STILL MOSTLY UNBOOKED FOR THE SUMMER. THIS NEW HOUSEBOAT, WHICH WE HAVE NAMED KON-TIKI, HAS TWO SLEEPING CABINS, EACH WITH ITS OWN PRIVATE BATHROOM WITH SHOWER. IT WILL BE LOCATED IN THE SAME MARINA, WITH A SPECTACULAR VIEW OF THE BOSTON SKYLINE. THE RENTAL CHARGE WILL BE LESS THAN THE PRICING IN THIS LISTING. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE, PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS LISTING AND MENTION KON-TIKI IN THE 'COMMENTS' SECTION AND WE WILL EMAIL YOU SOME PICTURES AND FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEW HOUSEBOAT AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR TRAVEL PLANS! PEGGY AND ANDY
