Reunion - Great atmosphere and the views were amazing. We were lucky to get the patio furniture on the top deck and it was perfect for views, conversation and cocktails

Love this sunset cruise - After an extremely hot day of walking in Boston, we were happy to enter the comfortable inside of the air-conditioned cabin. There were nice tables to sit at and the bar drinks were really good. The crew was friendly. The outside was spacious and the views were great! The sunset was beautiful, as well as the city skyline. I would definitely recommend this tour. It wasn’t too noisy either!

Sunset cruise tour - We really enjoyed the cruise. Seeing Old Ironsides and witnessing it fire the cannon at sunset was a highlight.

Good for the price - The cruise was good for the price. The only hiccup we had was you have to go to the office located near the dock and show them your tickets. They then give you a voucher so you can board the ship.

Sunset on the beautiful Boston Harbor - This was a lovely way to spend an evening out on the water. The views of the skyline were amazing and there were so many pretty sailboats on the water to see. The USS Constitution was a highlight with the sunset canon salute. Definitely sit on the upstairs deck on the outside rail if you can. The top deck is covered with an awning. The Captain and crew were also really fun and nice.

Beautiful boat ride on a beautiful harbor. - The boat was beautiful and the food they had on board was good. And the trip around the harbor at sunset was amazing! I would definitely do this again if I am ever in the area again.

Relaxing Evening Cruise - This was a really relaxing, pleasant way to spend an evening in downtown Boston. The boat was beautiful, both inside and out. The narration was perfect—enough to be useful and interesting, but not so much it was overwhelming. There was plenty of time to just enjoy the scenery and watch the sailboats. We didn’t order food or drinks because we came right from dinner, but the menu also looked fantastic! We didn't see much of a sunset at all, but it was still a really pleasant evening.

Cruising Boston Harbor - It was nice besides the fact that you cannot hear the guide talk. Either the microphone system is not good or the guide was speaking too softly but we could not hear a word she was saying. Also, she spoke maximum for five minutes. Could be more comprehensive.
