    Our sunset cruise around Boston Harbor was a wonderful time. The city lights were so pretty from the boat. Loved this cruise!

    The weather was rain/windy but they didn’t cancel the cruise so we went with raincoats and sweatshirts. As the voyage continued, the skies cleared up and we actually were able to enjoy a glimmer of the sunset. It would have been so awesome had the weather cooperated from the start but it was still a great trip. The captain narrated and we sat near the speaker so it was loud and clear.

  • A nice night out

    We took a sunset cruise in the pouring rain. No refunds. One bar tender. 40 minutes to get a drink. Way overpriced.
