Travel is my passion; and I have written dozens of articles about the various places that I have visited. My absolute favorite travel destination is Tuscany, the most “exotic” place that I have visited is Iran, and my dream vacation is Greece.

How About A Bed and Breakfast Afloat?
The Golden Slipper is a classic 1984 Catalina Chris Craft cabin cruiser. Guests who book this private party boat can arrange a cruise of the Boston Harbor Islands which make this "hotel" stay a true vacation get-away
After a day or sunset cruise, the innkeepers and your boat operators, Gretchen and Jack Stephenson leave. The Golden Slipper's home slip is at Lewis Wharf in Boston's North End- an ideal waterfront downtown location to explore the city. You can use the Golden Slipper just as you would a hotel, and come and go as you please. Or you can relax from the deck and watch the coming and goings of Boston Harbor. You also have the option of booking a five-course gourmet dinner prepared by Gretchen or you can bring your own food and use the boat's galley kitchen. At night, you will be lulled to sleep by the motion of the waves. A continental breakfast is also provided.
The ship can accommodate up to four in two state rooms with two private bathrooms. Two additional guests can be accommodated in the pull-out couch in the main salon.
