⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Jump on Board the Just Hangin’.

Jimmy and Wanda were absolutely amazing! My friends and I highly recommend them. We booked them for a few hours for my bachelorette and brought hot dogs and burgers and jimmy cooked them for us so that we could relax and hangout and spend time with each other without having to worry about a thing! They made sure we were all set multiple times through the experience and were extremely accommodating to any and every request. The boat was very clean and well maintained, and Spectacle Island was beautiful! They know all of the good spots and were very knowledgeable in the history of the island(s). We would 100% do this again and book for even longer next time!

Had such a great experience with Edward. It was our girls bachelorette and we have such a memorable time. Even though we were late, he still took his time to show us around Boston and gave us the space to play our favorite songs and have such a good time.

We had a great time celebrating our anniversary on Robby’s boat! Robby and his crew were incredible hosts and his boat was clean, comfortable, and beautiful. They took us around the harbor for a lovely sunset cruise, took pictures, and let us hook up our phones to play our favorite music. Communicating with Robby was so easy and he was very accommodating of our time, especially with some surprise storms that had to push our start time back a bit. Can’t recommend him enough and we will definitely be calling him again when we need another Boston boat cruise. Thank you, Robby!

This was an amazing experience. It was relaxing, safe and beautiful. Our captain was on time and communicative and did his best to make sure we had a great time and saw everything we wanted to see including the best view of the sunset. Highly recommend !

Had an amazing time celebrating my daughter's 21st birthday! The crew was so nice and accommodating. The boat was perfect. Plenty of room our 15 guests. Kevin was so responsive to our questions. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

I recently chartered Kevin’s boat for my girlfriend’s birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience! Captain Kevin did a fantastic job taking us up the Charles River, navigating smoothly and was easy to talk to before and during the trip. His deckhand, Ethan, was equally impressive—he took care of the food and handled everything else we needed with ease. The whole experience was top-notch, and I highly recommend this crew for anyone looking to have a great event on the water.

Yacht Rental Boston

In our ceaseless quest to explore and experience the natural beauty that our world has to offer, we are often drawn to the glimmering expanses of the seas. A yacht charter, in particular, offers a unique blend of comfort, luxury, and seclusion - a chance to weave our own narrative within the larger tale of nature's grand design.

Why Rent a Yacht in Boston?

❑ The Magic of the Boston Harbor

A yacht charter in Boston is not merely a rental of a sea vessel; it is the gilded ticket to a lavish journey steeped in history and teeming with natural wonders. The Boston Harbor, itself a character in the age-old tale of America, is a spectacle that unfolds like the most meticulously crafted piece of symphony. From the harmonious ballet of the bustling harbor seals to the elegant pirouettes of the soaring seagulls, a yacht journey in these waters is indeed a celebration of life itself.

❑ The Charm of the Atlantic Ocean

In this corner of the Atlantic Ocean, the blue waters thrum with the rhythm of the tide, whispering tales of adventurers, pirates, and explorers who once dared to venture into the mysterious expanse. Renting a yacht in Boston provides an exclusive front-row seat to this living canvas of maritime history, painted against the backdrop of the Atlantic's ever-changing moods.

❑ The Nautical Tapestry

As you chart your course across the Boston Harbor and beyond, the city's skyline gracefully recedes into the horizon, and you become an integral thread in the intricate tapestry of nautical life. The waves become your rhythm, the winds your direction, and the yacht your sanctuary - a haven in the vast expanse of the ocean.

Embarking on a Voyage: Yachting Destinations in Boston

A yacht rental provides you with the unprecedented opportunity to chart your own course and discover the hidden gems of Boston's surrounding waters. Here are a few destinations that are a must-visit during your seafaring journey.

🚢 The Boston Harbor Islands

Just beyond the city skyline, the Boston Harbor Islands invite you with their diverse ecosystem, rich history, and captivating sights. This cluster of 34 islands is home to a plethora of bird species, wildflowers, and even remnants of Native American and colonial structures.

🚢 Spectacle Island

Once a dumpsite, Spectacle Island has transformed into a stunning public park. It offers an astonishing view of the Boston skyline, hiking trails, and sandy beaches. The island is an excellent spot for a relaxing afternoon picnic or a refreshing swim.

🚢 Georges Island

Georges Island houses the historic Civil War-era Fort Warren. Exploring the fort and its grounds can transport you back in time. It's also a great spot to anchor your yacht and enjoy a quiet evening under the stars.

🚢 Provincetown, Cape Cod

Provincetown, at the tip of Cape Cod, is a popular yachting destination. It's known for its vibrant arts scene, stunning beaches, and iconic Pilgrim Monument. The lively town is surrounded by natural beauty, including the Cape Cod National Seashore.

🚢 Marblehead

Often hailed as the yachting capital of the world, Marblehead is a quaint New England town with a rich maritime history. The harbor here is often filled with sailboats, and the town itself is charming, with historic houses, boutique shops, and seafood restaurants.

🚢 Nantucket Island

If you have a few days to spare, consider sailing to Nantucket Island. This small, isolated island offers pristine beaches, lighthouses, and beautiful cottages. The island's history as a whaling hub is preserved in the excellent Whaling Museum.

Known for its notorious witch trials, Salem is a town of significant historical interest. It's home to the Peabody Essex Museum, which houses one of the largest collections of maritime art. While anchored in Salem Harbor, you can visit the historic waterfront and the iconic House of the Seven Gables.

An enchanting coastal town south of Boston, Plymouth, often referred to as "America's Hometown," is an ideal yachting destination. The town is renowned for the legendary Plymouth Rock, the landing site of the Mayflower Pilgrims. While in Plymouth, you may visit Plimoth Plantation, a living history museum that takes you back to the 17th-century colonial Plymouth.

🚢 Gloucester

Often hailed as "America's Oldest Seaport," Gloucester is a haven for yachting enthusiasts. Rich in maritime heritage, the town offers spectacular views, historic lighthouses, and bustling seafood markets. While there, consider a visit to Eastern Point Lighthouse, a historical beacon standing as a testament to Gloucester's seafaring past.

🚢 Boston's Inner Harbor

Sometimes, the most fascinating sights are found close to home, and Boston's Inner Harbor is a testament to that. Exploring the inner harbor with your yacht can lead you to iconic sites such as the USS Constitution Museum and the New England Aquarium. Each offers its unique perspective of Boston's relationship with the sea.

🚢 Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary

For those eager to venture further into the Atlantic, the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary is a prime destination. This marine protected area, situated between Cape Cod and Cape Ann, is one of the world's premier whale-watching sites. Here, you may witness the grandeur of humpback whales, the acrobatics of dolphins, and a plethora of other marine life.

🚢 Buzzards Bay

To the south of Boston, Buzzards Bay offers an ideal setting for a leisurely sail or a thrilling speed cruise. It's known for its clear, blue waters and the scenic Elizabeth Islands. The bay is also home to the famous Cape Cod Canal, a man-made waterway offering a unique yachting experience.

Yachting in Boston's waters gives you a unique perspective to appreciate the city's rich maritime history, vibrant wildlife, and stunning vistas. It allows you to journey at your own pace, stopping to explore the islands, harbors, and towns that catch your eye. Renting a yacht in Boston offers a blend of adventure and luxury, a journey through history, and an immersive natural experience that is second to none. So, hoist your sails or power your engines, and set a course for a memorable maritime adventure.

What Should I Consider Before Renting a Yacht in Boston?

⛵ Familiarise Yourself with the Weather

Boston's maritime climate is as much a part of its charm as its rich historical and natural heritage. It shapes the city's character and determines the yachting season. Summer (June through August) is generally the best time for yacht rental in Boston due to the warmer temperatures and relatively calm sea conditions. However, you must always heed the advice of the weather forecast and yacht charter company.

⛵ Choosing the Right Yacht

Every yacht is a character, defined by its design, capabilities, and the purpose it is best suited for. Some are built for speed and thrill, while others focus on comfort and luxury. You must consider the purpose of your trip (a family vacation, a corporate event, or an adventurous excursion) before choosing your yacht.

⛵ Safety First

Yacht charter is a fascinating but serious affair. Before embarking on your adventure, ensure that you are well-versed in basic safety protocols and that the yacht is equipped with all the necessary safety equipment.

Which Is the Best Yacht for Boston Waters?

⛵ The Charm of Classic Motor Yachts

For those seeking to immerse themselves in the luxury and comfort of the old-world charm, classic motor yachts can be an excellent choice. Their timeless elegance, combined with modern amenities, provide a unique ambiance of comfort and tranquility that aligns perfectly with the rhythm of Boston waters.

⛵ The Thrill of Performance Yachts

If speed and exhilaration are what you seek, consider a performance yacht. Designed for thrilling adventures and high-speed cruising, these yachts blend sophisticated technology with sleek design to deliver an adrenaline-fueled experience.

⛵ The Elegance of Sailing Yachts

For the environmentally conscious and those who seek a more authentic and intimate experience with the ocean, sailing yachts can provide an exceptional journey. They offer a tranquil, almost poetic, journey across Boston waters, driven by the gentle rhythms of the wind and sea.

To choose a yacht is to choose a companion for your maritime adventure. A companion that will witness your laughter, your awe, your quiet moments of reflection as you traverse the endless blues. So, take your time, consider your needs and preferences, and choose wisely. Remember, the journey is as important as the destination - if not more.

In conclusion, a yacht rental in Boston offers a unique perspective of the city's history, culture, and natural beauty - all while providing an unforgettable experience of luxury and comfort. Whether it's the thrill of a high-speed cruise or the tranquility of a leisurely sail, the choice of yacht plays a pivotal role in crafting your Boston sea journey. So, why wait? The Boston Harbor awaits, ready to reveal its secrets and offer you a glimpse of its vibrant nautical tapestry. Embark on your yacht charter adventure today, and be a part of the grand symphony of life.

Navigating the Currents: Frequently Asked Questions

We find ourselves all too often embarking on new adventures with a heart full of excitement and a mind buzzing with questions. These inquiries are not just a search for information; they are an integral part of our journey - a step towards embracing the unknown and transforming it into an experience rich with knowledge and insight. With that spirit of discovery, we have compiled a selection of frequently asked questions about yacht rentals in Boston. May these answers guide you on your nautical quest.

How much does it cost to rent a yacht in Boston?

The cost of renting a yacht in Boston can vary considerably based on several factors. These include the type of yacht, duration of the rental, time of the year, and any additional services you might require, such as a crew or catering.

Do I need a license to rent a yacht?

While you do not necessarily need a license to rent a yacht, it is beneficial to have some boating experience. Many yacht rental companies will require a basic demonstration of your boating skills before they allow you to helm a yacht. If you lack the necessary skills or simply want to relax and enjoy the journey, you can opt for a chartered yacht with a trained crew.

Can I sail to other states from Boston?

Yes, you can. A yacht provides the freedom to explore beyond the state lines, granted you comply with any maritime regulations and restrictions of the areas you are visiting. Places like Maine, Rhode Island, and Connecticut are popular destinations for extended yachting journeys.

What should I bring on a yacht charter?

Comfort is paramount when embarking on a yacht journey. Pack light, breathable clothing, swimwear, sun protection (sunglasses, sunblock), a hat, and comfortable shoes. Don't forget to bring personal items like cameras, binoculars for bird or whale watching, and any favorite snacks or drinks, although most chartered yachts will have catering options.

We hope these answers prove useful to you as you navigate your way towards your Boston yacht rental adventure. Should you find yourself brimming with more questions, remember that curiosity is the wind that fills the sails of discovery. Embrace it, and let it guide you towards new horizons.

Do I need my own insurance to rent a boat?

You do not need boat insurance when renting with Boatsetter. Coverage is provided under the Peer-to-Peer Boat Rental Policy, which is underwritten by GEICO Marine Insurance Company. The policy was written from the ground up as a stand-alone recreational boat rental insurance policy covering the period of time that the boat is being rented and is available for all non-commercially insured boats.

Does Boatsetter screen renters?

Yes. We use a system called Cognito to ensure that payment information matches the renter's identity. We also require renters taking out a captained boat to be at least 18 years old and on a bareboat to be at least 25 years old.

Is listing my boat on Boatsetter free?

Yes! Listing a boat is completely free. We only take a commission when your boat is rented. We only make money when you do!

What if I'm not comfortable having a renter drive my boat?

If you are not comfortable having a renter drive your boat, we have an expansive network of licensed and experienced captains. Once your boat is listed, you can filter through our network of captains and favorite captains in your area that you would like to operate your boat.

Boston Yacht Charters

Rich in history and with a decidedly cosmopolitan flair, Boston is the crown jewel of New England. And during the summer months, this Shining City Upon a Hill is the region’s sailing hub. Crewed charters depart Boston Harbor, allowing visitors to explore the splendor and natural beauty of Massachusetts.

Boston offers quick access to yachting hotspots like Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, the Elizabeth Islands, and Newport, RI, (through the Cape Cod Canal), and the city is a key hub for Cape Cod yacht charters . Boston charters offer guests an endless array of itinerary options.

Whale watch in Massachusetts Bay, where grey whales and humpbacks spend their summers. Explore the historic villages of the Bay’s South and North Shores, like Plymouth or Salem. Or take a shore break and explore Boston’s museums, world-class dining scene, and cultural hubs. Bottom line: A yacht charter in Boston opens a world of possibilities to explore and experience New England’s natural, cultural and historical sights and sounds.

Boston Yacht Charter Highlights

• Hip, upscale restaurants, and excellent food
• World-class museums, aquariums, and tours

Boston Yachting Season

Boston’s yachting season mirrors that of New England; it wakes up in early spring, but doesn’t hit its stride until mid-summer. July and August are the region’s busiest months for crewed yacht charters, with the season stretching into late September.

Throughout the summer and fall, Boston hosts a wide range of yachting events, including regattas and boat shows. Peak season runs from the Fourth of July until late August, and demand for luxury charters is also higher around major events, including the nearby Newport International Boat Show.

Cruising Conditions

Boston is blessed with pleasant spring and summer weather. In July and August temperatures hover in the 70s and 80s, with plenty of cooling winds.

The region is a sailor’s dream. Thanks to the relatively sheltered waters of Massachusetts Bay, Cape Cod Bay, Nantucket Sound and Buzzards Bay, Boston charters are generally met with calm, smooth sailing conditions.

Boston Yacht Charters: Things to See & Do

Whether you prefer to stay close to beautiful Boston Harbor and explore the city or seek adventure on the high seas, Boston charters are full of excitement. Top attractions and must-do activities include:

See the Red Sox at Fenway

Legendary Fenway Park is the oldest stadium in baseball and has been hosting the Red Sox every summer since 1912. Taking in a game at Fenway is a Boston bucket list experience. One tip: Plan for a pub crawl before or after the game. You’ll find numerous Irish pubs in the neighborhood.

Indulge in Boston’s Dining Scene

Boston is heaven for foodies. And all across the city, you’ll find a wide range of dining experiences, from the exquisite 3 Michelin-star cuisine at Menton, to the lobster roll shacks like Yankee Lobster. Throughout the region, you’ll find the best of the best in seafood: lobster, clam chowder, fish and chips, and clam bakes.

Take a Walk Through History

Boston’s Freedom Trail is a network of churches, museums, and historical markers that tell the history of the American Revolution. From the Old State House, where the Declaration of Independence before it was signed, to Paul Revere’s house, a walk along the trail brings the city’s history to life. You’ll find a variety of self-guided or guided options.

Shop Boston’s Upmarket Boutiques

Boston offers a wide range of markets and high streets to explore. Try Newbury Street – the so-called East Coast Rodeo Drive – for designer boutiques and high-end restaurants. Other options include Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, for an eclectic selection, or Copley Place for designer fashions.

Tour Boston’s World-Class Museums

Boston is home to some of the best museums on the East Coast. Whether you’re a history buff, or want to take in the arts, you’ll find a range of options. For natural history, visit the Boston Aquarium or the Harvard Museum of Natural History. Try the Institute of Contemporary Art or the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston if you fancy the arts. And the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum is a great stop for history.

Take to the Beaches of Massachusetts Bay

Explore the waters and beaches around Boston Harbor. You’ll find many quintessential New England beaches , with their dunes and wind-swept white sand. Singing Beach of Manchester-by-the-Sea, Spectacle Island (just outside of Boston Harbor), and Head of the Meadow in Truro are all must-see beaches.

Whale Watching in Cape Cod Bay

Whale watching season in Boston runs from mid-March through October, with many popular feeding grounds north of the city along the North Shore of Massachusetts Bay. In particular, explore the waters of the Stellwagen Bank, a protected area, where humpback and finback whales are a common sight.

Explore Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and the Elizabeth Islands

The Cape Cod Canal connects Boston to all of New England’s world-renowned sailing destinations. As such, many Boston yacht charter itineraries include stops in Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard , as well as in the Elizabeth Islands. Newport is another must-stop on a Boston yacht charter.

“Worth the time! This 70 minute boat tour on the Charles River was very informative. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and kept us entertained. We were able to view the many prominent building along the river and saw parts of Boston that we wouldn’t have seen from land. This a fun tour for people of all ages.”

“My group had an amazing time. It was a great venue to host a meeting. We will definitely do this again!!”

“People have been saying Friday night was the best employee outing we’ve EVER had, and I agree! Definitely looking forward to doing business with you again in the future!”

“My husband and I were married on the Lexington Riverboat; Melissa Otis was at the helm the entire time. She helped with everything from planning the menu, seating, handing tokens out to guests, and more that I’m unaware of. She was patient, timely with responses and the ultimate professional throughout the whole process…..about 1 year. The staff on the boat were equally amazing, as was the food from Jules Catering. We left almost wanting to get a divorce just so we could get remarried again…best experience and day ever!! A million thanks!”
