The 2026 charter season is almost here with new ways to explore Boston Harbor
We are busy getting the fleet ready and mapping out fresh routes through the harbor and the Charles River. Whether you are looking for a small gathering on the MV TRILOGY or a huge celebration for over 200 guests, our new boat options and custom itineraries are arriving soon. We have been a staple in Boston since 1989 and cannot wait to help you plan something truly unique for the upcoming season.
Boston's Most Experienced Charter Agency
We started Boston Yacht Charters in 1989, which makes us the most established private charter agency in the area. Our experience isn't just behind a desk; we have actually owned and operated five different charter vessels ourselves. This hands-on history means we understand the technical side of the industry just as well as the hospitality side. When you book with us, you are getting three decades of local knowledge and a team that knows exactly what makes a cruise successful.
Tailored Support from Start to Finish
Personal Planning for Every Event
We act as your personal guides to ensure your event goes off without a hitch. Our team takes care of the logistics so you can focus on enjoying the celebration. We help you choose the right boat for your specific needs, whether that is a sleek 103’ Broward Megayacht for an intimate group of 12 or a large catamaran for a corporate party of 200. From bridal showers to major company receptions, we make sure the vessel and the atmosphere match your vision perfectly.
From Local Harbors to Coastal Getaways
A Fleet for Every Style and Destination
Our agency offers a huge selection of motor and sailing yachts, covering a wide range of styles and budgets. While we are experts on Boston Harbor and the Charles River, we also coordinate trips across the North and South Shores, Cape Cod, the Islands, Newport, and Florida. We pride ourselves on being reliable and flexible, and we can often put together a cruise on short notice or even the same day.

Customized Itineraries
See the Best of the Harbor
Your charter is a custom journey through Boston's waters. We plan routes through the harbor, the Charles River, and out to the Cape and Islands. We can coordinate departures from convenient spots like Rowes Wharf or the Charlestown Navy Yard, passing landmarks like the USS Constitution and the Harbor Islands along the way.
The yacht Integrity was beautiful and specifically well-suited for our private party and celebration.
