An emb-190 captain was advised by ATC of a ship in the harbor during preparation for the ILS 4R at bos with a new hire first officer flying. The approach was changed to the localizer 4R; but the first officer was unable to get stabilized and a go-around was initiated from 800 feet. The next approach was a successful ILS to 4R.

Narrative:
The first officer is a recently hired pilot and is still getting up to speed in the E190. He tends to get behind; especially when it involves vertical navigation. On about an 18 mile final for the ILS 4R; approach advised us that there was a 'tall ship' in the harbor; which meant that the ILS was no longer available. They offered us the localizer 4R and we accepted. I (the pilot monitoring) briefed the approach as best as I could; but the first officer never got the airplane set up and the descent started in time. We got high on the approach and I told him to go around at about 800 to 900 feet. We returned for an uneventful ILS approach and landing. Additionally; there was an FAA inspector on the jumpseat. We got high on the approach and elected to go around because we were still in IMC.
