We really enjoyed the cruise. Seeing Old Ironsides and witnessing it fire the cannon at sunset was a highlight.

Fun sunset cruise. Stayed after cannon shot when all other boats immediately split. Nice crew very professional.

The cruise was good for the price. The only hiccup we had was you have to go to the office located near the dock and show them your tickets. They then give you a voucher so you can board the ship.

It was pleasant. We enjoyed the view, the food and the information provided while we cruised. Lovely photo ops too.

This was a lovely way to spend an evening out on the water. The views of the skyline were amazing and there were so many pretty sailboats on the water to see. The USS Constitution was a highlight with the sunset canon salute. Definitely sit on the upstairs deck on the outside rail if you can. The top deck is covered with an awning. The Captain and crew were also really fun and nice.
