Boston Harbor Shipyard and Marina

Boston Harbor Shipyard and Marina is a working shipyard and marina on the East Boston waterfront, founded on the site of a historic shipyard and calling itself The Shipyard. It describes itself as the only full-service shipyard in Boston Harbor. The marina’s deep-water slips offer protected dockage and excellent maneuverability for both powerboats and sailboats, with views of the Boston skyline across the water, and boaters can fuel up with high-speed in-slip marine diesel.

Beyond boating, the shipyard rents waterfront shop space, offices and upland storage, and its crane-accessible headwalls and laydown areas suit commercial and marine projects. A mix of businesses, arts and culture groups and eclectic food options operate on site. The location also puts visitors close to East Boston attractions such as Piers Park, with its playground and community sailing center, the ICA Watershed’s annual art exhibit, and Constitution Beach.
