5.00We enjoyed the sunset cruise! It was relaxing and a great way to cap off our trip. The drinks were good and staff was friendly. It was nice having an outdoor and indoor/climate-controlled option for when it cooled off. The cruise went all around the harbor and was a good length of time!
Great Activity

2.00We went by the custom house about 100 times. No fun facts about Boston and for the price no food or drink included. Do the trolley tour instead.
Wonderful .

4.00Unfortunately for us, we had a rainy sunset cruise. However, still had a wonderful time, through some mist and rain, we were still able to see the city and learn some key features. We enjoyed a light bite and enjoyed the seasonal drink menu as well.
Great experience

5.00The Harbour cruise was wonderful!!! Best water cruise I have EVER been on. Was worried since getting winds and rain off hurricane out in the ocean but it was smooth sailing. Captain pointed out all the main hi lights and the staff was exceptional. Very friendly and attentive. Could not ask for a better experience!
