The Marina

Two piers, one renowned facility.

Situated on the shore of one of New England’s most revered and culturally rich cities, Charlestown Marina offers excellent access to historic landmarks, lively dining, shopping and entertainment. Seasonal, transient and year-round dockage are all available, and our winter live-aboard community stays comfortable with heated water, sewer lines and attentive year-round staff.

Spanning Charlestown’s Pier 6 and Pier 8 with world-class amenities and superb waterfront dining, the marina has become one of the most sought-after destinations on Boston Harbor. We are taking bookings for this winter and for summer 2027.

Winter Boat Storage

Stay in the water. Stay ready for what’s next.

In-water winter storage is an alternative to hauling out and storing on land, with the convenience of keeping your boat in Boston Harbor. Depending on your vessel, it can be a cost-effective option — and when a beautiful October afternoon or an unexpected 70-degree day in April arrives, you’re already afloat with no spring launch to wait for.

We have a limited number of liveaboard slips for winter. The fee includes water and sewer connections, snow removal from the docks, and restrooms, showers and laundry.

Contact the office for current winter storage rates, liveaboard availability and details for your vessel.
