Houseboatin’ so much better than hotel
We stayed on a houseboat in Lewis Wharf a few years ago and loved it, so we wanted to donit again. We are actually’local’ and my teen and adult kids like to stay in the city for short breaks. (We live an hour away). Love the proximity to the North End, the T, the Aquarium etc. Surprisingly quiet. We miss the boat we used to have, so we enjoy getting gently rocked to sleep. Will always choose a houseboat over a hotel if it’s available.

Very comfortable
Overall we were extremely satisfied with the accommodations. The boat is a good size for 4 people and way nicer than a small hotel room. It was a real treat seeing my granddaughter’s surprise when she saw we were living on a boat. One thing to keep in mind - it’s a boat! That means there will be some rocking back and forth, space is limited and the marine toilet takes getting used to but the rest it easy. Coffee is provided and there’s a toaster, over and large fridge. The location is excellent and you can walk to the aquarium, Quincy market and many other attractions. Plus seeing the tide go in and out and raising and lowering the dock 10-15 feet was fascinating.
If you’re nervous about a boat, we were there in driving rain and 65 mph winds with coastal flooding and it was manageable. No-one got nervous or panicked - when it returned to normal it was awesome.
I would definitely recommend this if you’re into something a little different. I’ll definitely book with them again. Thanks
