About this property

Spacious & Comfy 2BR Yacht - Fully Heated - On Freedom Trail, Walk to Downtown

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and unwind aboard Carpe Diem II, where you can watch the boats sail by on the calm waters of the harbor. The yacht has two comfortable queen staterooms that can accommodate up to four adults, and each stateroom has a private head (bathroom) with a shower.

Take advantage of the beautiful weather and enjoy a meal or mix up a cocktail on the spacious aft deck, while soaking up the sights and sounds of the harbor. If it gets too hot or too chilly, head inside to cool off or warm up with central air conditioning and heat.

Located in the historic Charlestown Navy Yard, the yacht is just steps away from popular attractions like the Freedom Trail, North End, and Downtown, making it an ideal base for exploring Boston. Book your stay on Carpe Diem II now and experience the unique charm of living on the water in this historic neighborhood.

-The Space-

Step aboard the Carpe Diem II and see her aft deck, welcoming you to sit, relax and start a great conversation. Move to the fly-bridge for a 360° view of the marina and harbor.

Heading inside, her main salon offers comfortable seating for 6. A great spot to cozy up with a book after a fun day in the city. A Bluetooth speaker, Smart-TV, and ample plugs for charging your devices add to the livability of the boat.

Step down to the galley and dinette, equipped with everything you need to make a meal onboard: a two-burner induction cooktop, convection microwave/oven, toaster, small fridge and plenty of glasses, crockery, cutlery, and pots and pans. Also, the cooking basics, salt, pepper, oil, sugar, tea, coffee, and a welcome bowl of snacks. The dinette table comfortably sits 4.

Enter the private forward and aft staterooms made up with luxury linens, blankets, pillows & duvets. Grab a fluffy towel before entering one of the two bathrooms. Equipped with quiet and reliable heads (toilets), hot showers, and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

Central A/C and Heat keep the boat comfortable no matter what the New England weather throws at you.

Located in the oldest neighborhood in Boston, Charlestown, the boat is close to many popular Boston destinations:

• 5 min walk to the USS Constitution
• 10 min walk to the Bunker Hill Monument
• 5 min walk to the Freedom Trail
• 15 min walk to the North End (Ferry service available as well!)

-Guest Access-

While you do have access to the entire boat during your stay, the boat cannot leave the dock. Our insurance policy does not cover guests taking the boat out. If you would like to arrange for a boat tour of Boston during your stay, please ask, and we will put you in touch with the best charters in the area.

-Common Questions-

• Is there wifi on board?
Yes!

• Does the boat have A/C & Heat?
The boat has both A/C and Heat! It is a boat, so there is minimal insulation, but it stays comfy. Most guests prefer to keep the windows open for a nice sea breeze during the summer and cozy up in a sweatshirt during the cooler months.

• Can we get picked up or dropped off at different wharves around the harbor?
Yes! There are water taxis that can take you directly from the airport to the marina, and from the boat to anywhere else you may need to go.

• Is there parking nearby?
Yes – parking at the marina is available for $28/day along with other parking garages in the area.

• Will there be enough room
The yacht is wonderfully comfortable! There's ample headroom in the cabin, and the beds just as large as queen-size beds you'd have at home. Please bear in mind that the boat is on water and it will move. While it's a gentle rock, If you're the kind of person who feels queasy just looking at boats, then this might not be the best option for you.

Warm Boat to weather Spring Nor’easter
We stayed aboard Chads boat during a windy, wet and cold storm at beginning of April. The boat held up well and Chad was reassuring that these weather patterns are not unique. Despite the cold temperatures outside the boat stayed comfortable. The marina is easily accessible to downtown via ferry, 20 minute walk to T line and many other restaurants in Charlestown/North End. Chad is an excellent and welcoming host.

Boat living in great location
Boat was more spacious in the sitting areas that I thought it would be and kitchen exceeded expectations. Bathrooms are quite small so just be prepared for that, and there are steep stairs you need to navigate. But you can't beat the location - great being in the Charlestown marina.

Boston on the water
We had a great time--Chad was very responsive and gave us great tips for the neighborhood, and for getting around. It was tight quarters, but we loved hanging out in the harbor, especially with the full moon.
