For those of us who are driving to Boskone, and that includes cabs as well as Uber and Lift, please be aware that the New England Boat Show is happening at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center (BC&EC), which shares a driveway with the Westin.
The Westin has on-site parking for $44 per day, but spot are limited. Valet parking is also available at the Westin for $54 per day. They also have an electric car charging station.
When driving, please be aware that traffic will likely be heavy at times, especially during the opening and closing hours of the Boat Show. On the bright side, this means that the BC&EC’s parking lot will be open during the day (and I believe that parking is around $20 per day, but you should verify that with the BC&EC’s attendant). Since their lot does close at night, please also be sure to also ask how late they will be open (each day that you use their lot) so that you can retrieve your car.
A nice alternative to driving is to take the Silver Line, SL1 or SL2, to the World Trade Center Station. For details on how to navigate the MBTA system see the Boskone website. We also have parking information listed as well.
Please be sure to plan some extra time to arrive at the convention before the first program item that you would like to attend. Safe travels! We look forward to seeing you there!
The South lot at the Convention Center WILL be open Fri/Sat/Sun and costs $20 a day but the hours will be close to the Boat Show Hours: Fri noon-8pm, Sat 10am-8pm, Sun 10am-6pm. Onstreet parking is FREE Sun/Mon but it is hard to find unless you come to the hotel area early. Spot Angels (https://www.spotangels.com/blog/complete-boston-street-parking-guide/) can help you find places to park, but remember most meters are only for 2 hours.
