  I would say this is the only way to stay in Boston, the boat is moored in a perfect postion so you are able to walk to so many interesting sights and places. Gretchen was the perfect host, leaving breakfast things for us so we didn't even have to go out early on the first morning, it was such a lovely touch. Have already recommended friend to stay there.

  For my husband and I, staying at the Golden Slipper was a truly unique Boston experience. Gretchen is a fabulous host who was in touch with us the entire time, making sure that we had all the info about the boat and was also a great resource for ideas and things to do/see nearby. The location is top notch - you really can't get any better if you're wanting to stay in the North End. And of course, its a boat, which is unique and different compared to a standard hotel room. The amenities on... More »

  The Golden Slipper was a great experience. Relaxing on the back deck of the ship was so wonderful as the breezes came through the harbor. I was there for a business trip but I felt like I was on vacation! Gretchen had Meghan & Damien meet me to let me and show me around - they were both very pleasant and accommodating to my schedule as well since I booked the night before and I couldn't arrive until 9pm. The ship is also nicely located within walking distance to many restaurants and bars. If... More »

  What an incredible time I had aboard the Golden Slipper! It took a few minutes to get used to the compact quarters and a few boat 'quirks' (the maritime plumbing) and from there it was simply heavenly. The location is as ideal as it could be for walking, supplies and peaceful floating... It's secure and safe too... I will not soon forget the fabulous sleep and relaxation aboard the Slipper. Hanging out on the deck the sounds, sights and smells of the Harbor have a healing quality. I... More »

  The Golden Slipper is just fantastic. The boat is charming, and the whole experience couldn't have been more lovely -- excellent neighbourhood near the cute, Italian North End with lots of restaurants and cafes, and the water taxt to Logan Airport comes right to the boat! Thanks, Gretchen.

  Really enjoyed our 2 nights on the Golden Slipper. Although not a new boat, all mod cons are there, with lots of little touches to make life on board comfortable. As boat owners ourselves, we thought it was excellent - and we've never seen such a huge master bed before ! Location is very good - North End of Boston, and handy for everything. Supermarket a few minutes away, and what the Rough Guide terms "the mother of all food courts" just a 5-min walk away, beside Faneuil Hall. If... More »
