Board a lobster boat and dine on your catch while staying at this Boston hotel
Travelers can book the experience now.
A Boston hotel is launching a quintessential New England experience this spring.
Guests at The Lenox in Back Bay can board a working lobster boat in Boston Harbor, learn about lobstering during a private two-hour tour, bring back their own catch, and dine on it that evening as part of a five-course lobster tasting menu prepared by Executive Chef Daniel Kenney. Guests can book the Boston Harbor Lobster Experience Package now, with availability starting in May.
The package includes overnight accommodations at The Lenox, round-trip transportation to and from Boston Harbor, a five-course lobster dinner at Willow & Ivy featuring your catch, and all gratuities. During the boat ride, the captain will share insights into sustainable fishing methods, fishing challenges, and conservation efforts.
“There’s perhaps no food more synonymous with New England than lobster,” said Dan Donahue, president of Saunders Hotel Group, in a statement. “To be able to connect our guests to the very source of their meal and then prepare it for them that same evening is a special way to celebrate Boston’s maritime heritage and culinary spirit.”

The family-owned luxury hotel, built in 1900, was acquired by the Saunders family in 1963 and offers 214 guest rooms, two restaurants, and a lobby cocktail bar. The Judy Garland Suite is named after the legendary celebrity who made the hotel her home for three months in 1965.
The lobster package costs $1,650 for two guests and $1,950 for four guests.
