Cruise through Boston Harbor on the Yacht Patriot, a modern take on a 1920s yacht, for an intimate 1.5-hour cruise. We offer a daytime narrated tour, that allows guests to dive into the rich history of Boston as a local guide highlights key landmarks like the USS Constitution, Bunker Hill Monument, and the historic waterfront. We also offer a non-narrated sunset cruise option that will cruise by the USS Constitution to watch the cannon fire at sunset.
Both experiences offer unobstructed views and a relaxing atmosphere away from the city's hustle.

Cozy Harbor Tour

5.00Very welcoming staff. A bonus is that they serve beverages on board. Even if warm weather would advise you bring a light jacket in case of wind or Ocean spray. This tour in comparisons to the others I saw was more personal, professional and informative. The other tour boats in comparison seem more like party boats. I would advise you to do this activity when you first arrive as they have a lot of good suggestions on what else to do in Boston while you're there.

5.00Great family activity from 23 to 91 years old! We were looking for a restful end of the day activity before dinnerZ. Narrator was fun and informative. Boat was comfy with cushions and backrests for all. They don’t oversell so feels very private
