The world’s only preserved Heavy Cruiser, the U.S.S. Salem, is a main attraction in Quincy. As is the U.S. Naval Shipbuilding Museum, located in the former Quincy Fore River Shipyard, builder of battleships used in World War II and the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
Just south of Boston, our marina is located on the Dorchester Bay. Enjoy cruising this captivating bay or its waterways. Then choose from a variety of waterfront restaurants or head into Boston to catch a Red Sox game.
A plethora of natural parks and islands awaits at the 34-island Boston Harbor Islands National Park Area. Take a short boat ride (or a 45 minute ferry from Boston), to enjoy one of the many islands that are managed by the Department of Conservation.

Announcements
Thursday morning trip a Success....Stripers are here!!!!!
Mike Walsh and Scott Washburn and seven Freedom members embarked on our biweekly early morning fishing trip in Boston harbor this. They took out two boats, the 20' G-boat equipped with a 150 hp Suzuki engine and the 26' Mako with twin Evinrude 150 hp engines. They left the dock at 7 a.m and went right out to chase birds, our best fishfinder. The birds were not working hard but enough to find fish. One member caught a 30 inch Striper but released it after it was measured, others pulled in schoolie stripers which ranged from 17-22 inches. Looking forward to the next member outing hopeing to find more bait balls in the harbor.
