5.00100% recommend. The view is amazing. We went pretty far, getting to see a lot of coast line. It was late October and nippy- so bring a jacket. I brought a beanie( Floridian).

5.00Went on a girls trip to Salem. My friend really wanted to do a boat cruise, and this one was great. The staff was friendly, attentive and gave us the history of the boat. Open bar was a plus.
Awesome experience
