5.00The Boston Harbor Sunset Cruise is a great way to spend two hours! We did it on a beautiful October night, and had a blast. We live in the Boston suburbs, so we are not "out of town tourists", and we still found it a delightful way to see the harbor. The narration was interesting, very well done, and it really helped us understand the "Hahbah". I recommend this for out of town visitors or residents who want to get a different view of the Harbor they see frequently, while throwing in a sunset (keep in mind the sun sets to the west, so over land...)

4.00Worth doing. Sunset behind city was beautiful. They should add an age restriction. Couple sitting near us had a toddler and a newborn. Newborn cried entire cruise, so loudly that I could not hear the narration. Ruined it for everyone sitting on the top deck.

2.00The boat was overcrowded. There was no space to sit and see the sights for the entire 90 min cruise. Difficult to move around so only saw one side as we stood on rail for entire trip. The narrator was very difficult to hear so I'm not even sure it was informative
