Vacation Rental Description
The White Elephant Floating Inn is a one-of-a-kind wooden houseboat lovingly built from scratch on a steel hull by a single person over a period of about five years. It features beautifully finished wood paneled walls, exposed wood beams and inlaid hardwood floors. The main stateroom features a custom-built king size platform bed with headboard, two large closets and hexagonal stained-glass windows. Extra guests can be accommodated by a queen size sleep sofa and an inflatable Aerobed located in the main salon. Unlike your typical boat, the bathroom has a cast iron claw foot tub with massage shower head, a vintage oak pull-chain toilet, and a solid brass sink sunk into a slab of redwood. The kitchen includes a full-size fridge, cook top, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and plenty of dishes, glassware, cutlery and pots and pans. The White Elephant is moored at Shipyard Quarters Marina, next door to the USS Constitution in the chic and historic Charlestown Navy Yard.

Also right in the marina is the Tavern on the Water, a restaurant and bar with a great view of the Boston Skyline, and on-shore grilling and picnic facilities. We provide an iron, ironing board, hairdryer, and loads of bathroom products such as soaps, shampoos, and lotions. We even include lots of cooking ingredients such as coffee, herbs, spices, condiments, etc... The boat is large enough to comfortably accommodate up to five adults or 2 adults with a few children. It is fully air-conditioned and heated and has a large roof sun deck with a gas grill. All sheets and towels are provided. All this for less than the price of a regular hotel room at any of the nearby hotels!
