Boston’s attractions, historic landmarks and amenities are so numerous that they deserve a guidebook of their own. Fortunately, several are widely available in tourist shops around the harbor.

Boston and its environs offer dozens of friendly yacht clubs, protected marinas, secluded anchorages, boatyards and facilities for recreational craft, many of which welcome cruising boats. Fascinating sightseeing is within easy distance of almost anywhere you dock.

Nearby are historic towns and notable shore resorts to visit as well as dozens of islands to investigate by dinghy.
