Board a boat and then dine on lobster while staying at The Lenox

A Boston hotel is launching the ultimate New England experience this spring.

Guests in Linux At Back Bay, they can board a working lobster boat in Boston Harbor, learn about lobster during a private two-hour tour, bring their own catch, and dine on it that evening as part of a five-course lobster tasting menu prepared by Executive Chef Daniel Kenny. Guests can book Boston Harbor Lobster Experience Package Now, with availability starting in May.

The package includes an overnight stay at The Lenox, round-trip transportation to and from Boston Harbor, a five-course lobster dinner at Willow & Ivy with your catch and all gratuities. During the boat trip, the captain will share his thoughts on sustainable fishing methods, fishing challenges, and environmental conservation efforts.

“Perhaps no food is more synonymous with New England than lobster,” Dan Donahue, president of Saunders Hotel Group, said in a statement. “Being able to connect our guests to the 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.”

Built in 1900, this luxury, family-owned hotel was acquired by the Saunders family in 1963 and offers 214 guest rooms, two restaurants and a cocktail bar in the lobby. The Judy Garland Suite is named after the legendary star 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.
