Three European-style motor yachts will shuttle guests and employees between the Encore Boston Harbor gaming resort in Everett and points along the Harbor when the casino opens in June 2019.
The ferry route will include stops in the Seaport, Downtown and Financial District. The boats are expected to run 365 days a year. The final schedule, fares and docking locations are still being finalized.
The production of these 40-passenger yachts will be privately funded by Encore and built by Charlestown-based Boston Boatworks. See images of the ferry and its interior below.
One big hurdle remains, however. The Encore casino remains subject to regulatory review after the sexual assault claims surfaced by former owner Steve Wynn.

I commend Encore Boston Harbor for their ferry service. However, the City of Boston definitely needs a ferry system, and not just to the Casino. But to all of the coastal cities in the Greater Boston Harbor.
YES, yes, YES!!! You are SO correct…and it’s long overdue, in fact!!!
