Just one hour from Boston, The Yankee Clipper Inn, provides the perfect oceanfront setting for your Rockport vacation, getaway, or business retreat.

Jackie and John F. Kennedy, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and numerous other celebrities have stayed at the Yankee Clipper Inn. The Yankee Clipper's exclusive setting, hugging the coastline along a former 200-year-old stagecoach trail, is part of New England's quintessential seacoast village, Rockport.

The Yankee Clipper has 16 guest rooms available to meet your needs, most with magnificent ocean views. These include eight rooms in the elegant 1929 Art Deco mansion and eight rooms in the Quarterdeck, a contemporary Cape with panoramic views.

Three of the rooms offer oceanside sunrooms, and two rooms offer access to the oceanfront grounds directly from their private entrances. All rooms have cable television, private baths, and telephones, and several have jetted tubs. Broadband Internet connectivity is available in most guestrooms and all suites. However, the hallmark of the Inn is the dedicated service of the attentive and thoughtful staff.

In season, you will enjoy a full breakfast each morning, complete with plenty of freshly brewed coffee to welcome you to a new day in Rockport. A continental breakfast is served in the off-season. Rolling lawns and country gardens frame colorful vistas to the open sea. Breathe in the salt air from the gazebo near the water's edge, or relax under the umbrellas on the terrace for a quiet read. Take laps in the sun-filled, heated, salt water pool -- it's all part of the Yankee Clipper Inn experience.

The Yankee Clipper Inn boasts the most panoramic ocean views and was voted the "Best seaside view" by Arrington's Bed and Breakfast Journal in 2002. In 2003, Arrington's also voted The Yankee Clipper Inn "The Best Inn on the Eastern Seaboard" and "One of the Best Inns in the Country."

Rockport is a picturesque, quaint fishing village noted for its artists, shopping, and whale watching. For those interested in a more active vacation, hiking, biking, swimming, and kayaking are favorite pastimes. Only one hour from Boston, the Inn is convenient to the very best sights and activities available in eastern New England. However, nothing compares to the relaxation and feeling of being at one with the ocean that is enhanced from this truly memorable lodging experience. No wonder the Yankee Clipper Inn is called "New England's Quintessential Seacoast Vacation Destination."
