Other than Boston’s famous baked beans, The Boston marathon, and the Fenway Park, Massachusetts’ capital is also known for its beautiful oceanic shoreline. Boston’s waterfront hosts several iconic landmarks and attraction spots, including Charles River Esplanade, one of the best locations to sit back, relax and unwind while sitting on one of the many benches. Another tourist spot is the Museum of Science. It hosts a spectacular planetarium and an IMAX theater, and if you are a sailor by heart, the U.S.S Constitution is the perfect place to visit, a place where old navy commissioned ships are docked. Visitors can also stay in hotels and Vrbo vacation rentals near the harbor to fully experience what the city is all about. In Boston, the party doesn’t stop at the streets, in bars or nightclubs, it continues flowing to the waterfront on the boats and yachts that illuminate the waters at night. If you are looking to find out more about the thrills of Boston’s waters, here is a list of the best party boats in Boston, Massachusetts.
