Boston's premiere source for
Charter Vessels of All Types

"On every side the green islands rest, fair emeralds on a sapphire plain, full of poetic charm and artistic diversity, and ahead is the great sea, vague, vast and dreamy." 

- M.F. Sweetser, 1882 Kings Handbook of Boston Harbor

PRIVILEGED TO BE CELEBRATING OUR 35TH YEAR IN 2024!

Established in 1989, Boston Yacht Charters is the longest-serving private charter vessel agency in the area, independently representing both motor vessels and sailing vessels of very diverse styles, capacities, and price ranges. Our role is to assist charter hosts with arranging customized private cruises that create stand-out memories for their guests!

Additionally, since BYC has previously owned or operated five charter vessels of differing styles, we bring a wide base of knowledge and an added perspective to the search for the best options to match our charterers' specifications. Service and creativity have been our hallmarks for over 30 years, and we love to explore IDEAS with our clients!

In 2024, there are a variety of unique boats and yachts available for birthdays, anniversaries, bridal celebrations of every type, business events of all descriptions, and more!...Especially focused on historic Boston Harbor and the Charles River, we can also connect prospective charterers with boats on the North and South Shores, Cape Cod and the Islands, Newport, and boats in New York, Florida, and elsewhere!

*Note: With BYC, "Short-Notice Cruises" are often possible, too...sometimes even "Same-Day"!
