Boston Yacht Haven Inn & Marina

About The Hotel

Boston Yacht Haven Inn & Marina is a 4.8-rated exclusive waterfront inn on Commercial Wharf in the North End, an intimate boutique property with luxurious rooms, private balconies, and sweeping harbor views in a marina setting. Across 316 reviews, guests consistently praise the stunning location, excellent rooms, and warmth of the staff. The inn is a small, high-end alternative to large hotels, offering free breakfast and a marina experience rather than a convention-center vibe. In-room soaking tubs are a specific room category to confirm at booking. It is among Boston’s highest rates (from $800/night), but for travelers seeking an exclusive, top-rated waterfront escape near the Freedom Trail, it is a splurge-worthy choice.

What Guests Are Saying

“Awesome little hotel right on the water, hidden away a bit off the main street. We really enjoyed our balcony deck looking over the marina and bay/channel. Comfortable bed, slept very well! Enjoyed our continental breakfast every morning except one when we went out to one of the breakfast restaurants recommended by the desk clerk (think his name was Joe) when we checked in. He gave us a long list of restaurants and highlighted those that were HIS favorites and… he wasn’t wrong! We hit just about every one of his favs. Boston truly is a walkable city, and if you are inclined to take the subway (which I was also impressed with), there is a station just a few blocks away by the Aquarium. My feet hurt now, but we enjoyed our stay at the Yacht Haven! Thanks!” — G G., 5 stars

“Superb hotel with great facilities. Large corner room with lots of space and lovely views out over the marina. The location is ideal for exploring all of Boston and is especially close to Downtown, the North End and Seaport districts. I’ve stayed in many Boston hotels and this was the best by far, in no small part because the staff we met were exceptional. Mo and Wesley went out of their way to make sure we were looked after throughout our stay and accommodating every question and request we had with ease. This will definitely be my go-to hotel for all subsequent visits to Boston.” — Neil W., 5 stars

“Wow. A truly wonderful place. Had I known, we would have stayed longer. The setting is idyllic. Literally feet from the moored yatchs. Quiet, serene, relaxing. Mo met us and welcomed us as we drove in. So gracious and welcoming. She have us a tour and orientation to the local eateries. The room was fantastic. Everything immaculate. Little niceties were the frosting on the cake. Pricey, but that is the market for the location and service. No complaints.” — dgcope, 5 stars
