Harbor Sweets, the Salem-based artisan confectionery known for its nautical-themed treats, has opened a show-stopping 40-foot boat-shaped retail location inside Copley Place that's unlike anything else in the city. "This expansion into Boston marks an exciting new chapter for our company," said Jonathan Kasen, co-owner of Harbor Sweets. For over 50 years, Harbor Sweets has been crafting handmade chocolates from its brick factory in Salem, where founder Ben Strohecker first created the iconic Sweet Sloops in his Marblehead kitchen back in 1973. These signature treats—sailboat-shaped almond buttercrunch toffee with white chocolate "sails" and dark chocolate "hulls" sprinkled with crushed pecans—remain the company's bestseller. The Boston location joins existing Harbor Sweets shops in Salem and Beverly, offering the full range of nautically-themed chocolates alongside Boston-themed gifts and a self-serve candy wall.
