2.00The man speaking over the intercom was very monotonous and boring to listen to. The sun was covered by clouds so the sunset didn’t exist. I know you cannot help that but at least make the narration of the trip exciting. Would not recommend.
Amazing experience!

2.00Couldn't postpone trip because of westher. It was cold and rainy & foggy. Couldn't see much, so wanted to postpone to another day, but only sailed on fri- Sun,so we had to go. We are leaving on Wednesday. Wish they had of offered something else instead of this, but they did not. Also the narrator was not very good. Kind of monotone voice. Just bad timing with weather and all.

5.00Nice sunset cruise. The boat could have been bigger because of all the people that were on the ship.

3.00The paddle wheel type boat we were on has definitely become shabby. The cruise was as advertised but the narration was extremely boring. the narrator had zero personality but plenty of facts. We probably wouldn’t recommend.
It was decent.

3.00I enjoyed the sunset cruise, but I do have a few complaints. The boat we took was not the one pictured. The cruise was running behind so they had to rush to the USS constitution to see them blow off the cannon. Over all I enjoyed and it was fairly cheap to do for 2 people. I think I would’ve been disappointed if it cost more.
Lovely cruise - great fun!

4.00Fantastic staff and great narration. Learned a lot, and really enjoyed seeing the sights from a different perspective. I know they have a few boats - ours was a little tired in all honesty, and could do with some renovations. But that really didn’t detract from the enjoyable evening!
Not good

1.00They barely had any seats. There was barely an in narration. Just a very very boring and uneventful, ride. I didn’t think it was worth the money.
