Boston Sailing in the Boston Harbor near the city's luxury real estateJust because you are not a sailboat owner does not mean that you cannot enjoy a beautiful day sailing along Boston Harbor.

At Lewis Wharf there is the Boston Sailing Center, open from 9AM until sunset from May through October, where you can choose from their large fleet of boats. At Boston Sailing Center you can enjoy sailing along Boston’s historic Waterfront, or even take overnight trips to Martha’s Vineyard, Provincetown and Newport.

It’s a Dog’s Life…

Written by Diane Giacobbi

Boston is not only filled with universities and students, hospitals and doctors, it is filled with dogs and their humans.  Each week I receive at least one inquiry for a sale or rental of a pet friendly property.  No longer just a suburban pet, the urban dog is welcome in many places – in certain outdoor patio dining, in private dog parks, and in some designated areas of public places.  The services for these pets are innumerable – dog boutiques for accessories and natural food items; doggie day care with transportation; daily walks; overnight vacation services, and in home veterinary calls.

Many condominium buildings along Boston’s Waterfront are pet friendly.  As a lover of dogs, I do everything in my power to find a home for my wonderful canine residents and their people.

Here is a current list of some of the pet friendly buildings in the Waterfront:

Intercontinental: Owners and TenantsBoston Dog Park 

Rowes Wharf: Owners only with Management approval

Harbor Towers: Owners only

Commercial Wharf: Owners and Tenants

Lewis Wharf: No Dogs

Mariner: Owners and Tenants

Bulfinch: Owners and Tenants

Union Wharf: Owners only

Lincoln Wharf: No Dogs

Burroughs Wharf: Owners and Tenants with Restriction

Battery Wharf:  Owners and Tenants

Tourism Heating Up on Boston Waterfront

Filed under: Battery Wharf, Boston Waterfront Amenities, CL Waterfront Properties NEWS, North End Amenities, North End Waterfront Condos, Rowes Wharf, Things to Do in Boston, Waterfront Boston. • Tags: , . By

Boston Waterfront Tourism Heats Up.  Water Taxis are the way to go these days.

These days, the best way to see Boston is by sea, not land.  With the Boston Waterfront tourism growing, it is becoming the hottest real estate to invest in.

There have been all sorts of exciting and interesting small businesses cropping up all around the Boston Harbor, from green taxis to floating vacation rentals.   Just this summer, the Rowes Wharf Water Transport partnered up with South Boston Waterfront hotel to provide zero-emission traveling to and from Logan Airport in the electric-driven boat called “Unplugged”.

For seven bucks and 10 minutes on the water, you get the perfect, stress-free ride to the airport found no where else.  Not a bad deal.  Especially for many of us who know all about the hassle of Boston Traffic or connecting with the red line to the silver line, and so forth on the MBTA rail system.

What’s even better, especially for those of us who live on the Waterfront, are the water shuttles that go back and forth to all the different wharfs.  Now we can hitch a ride to the up-and-coming Fan Pier, visit the restaurant-popular Liberty Wharf, take the Boston Lobster Tours at the Battery Wharf, check out the Innovation District, see the famous Tea Party location, and the list goes on.

Another trending waterfront attraction is the houseboat rental in the Boston Harbor.  Now folks can get a Boston Waterfront experience that’s more immersed than ever before!  Doesn’t get any better than living on the water, especially with the gorgeous Boston cityscape as your backdrop.  These houseboats are now becoming equipped with Wi-Fi internet, roof decks, and other amazing amenities.

There is no doubt about it, the Boston Waterfront is a hot zone for fun and excitement.  If you would like to read more all about it, feel free to check out this most recent Boston Globe article, “Marine Tourism Gaining Steam“.

“Old Ironsides” Annual Fourth of July Turnaround

In part of a 4th of July tradition, the U.S.S. Constitution raised its colors, hoisted its sails and left port from the Charlestown Navy Yard for its annual turnaround.  “Old Ironsides” is the oldest vessel still commissioned in the United States Naval fleet.

In the Boston Harbor last Monday, the warship sailed along the Boston Waterfront until it reached Castle Island where its crew conducted a 21-gun salute from its battery of canons before turning around and returning to its home for another year.  Here’s a video of this year’s event.  Doesn’t get any more patriotic than this… Happy Birthday, America.
