Yacht to shuttle guests from Boston to Everett casino

EVERETT, Mass. — Those wanting to travel to the Encore Casino from Boston will be able to do so, in style.

Encore Boston Harbor in Everett announced Thursday that a Charlestown yacht builder will construct three European-style yachts to shuttle guests and employees around the harbor.

Robert DeSalvio, President of Encore Boston Harbor, said that he imagines the shuttle stopping at places like the Seaport and Financial District, taking guests to the Encore.

"Rain or shine, with a guarantee of no traffic or parking issues. We’re turning a normally stressful and frustrating commute into a luxurious and relaxing experience," he said.

Each 41-foot yacht will hold about 40 people, not including the crew. Boston BoatWorks is constructing the yachts, the total cost coming in at $3 million. Encore said it is privately funding the yachts.

The yachts will run 365 with day and evening stops.
