It was nice to be inside due to the cold temperatures, but we were hoping for more of a guided or informational talk of what we were passing, history of things, etc. Even a history of the North End would have been nice. I will say the staff was very accommodating and very nice1

Denise_W

The USS Constitution shooting the cannon at sunset and we got to float there until they did! That was fun!

Donald_B

Information given by boat captain about various landmarks, and seeing the Boston airport from the harbor.

Rocky_T

Very peaceful and tranquil cruise around the harbor. Host only came on the PA system to mention key attractions. Otherwise, you had time to enjoy the views and scenery of the Boston Harbor. Vessel was very clean and organized. Has a bar, light menu and restroom. It was a little chilly for us so we ended up in the inside cabin mostly vs the upstairs open air balcony. It was nice to have the choice of being both inside or outside! Overall enjoyable Experience and would recommend it

1.5 hour cruise of Boston Harbor w maybe 5 minutes of narration. Line could do a lot more with facts about Boston points of interest etc.

Elizabeth_W

It was a beautiful boat and the crew was very nice. We thought it would be more of a tour. There wasn't as much commentary/information about Boston Harbor as we wanted.

Anne_C

We loved it! Very chill. The staff was great. The captain pointed out several cool sites, but did not talk the whole time. We will definitely do this tour again!
