A wonderful trip. - A wonderful trip around Boston Harbor. You ride on a wonderful boat with a great crew. The city lights are just beautiful while you’re cruising around on the water. It was so cool after a hot day to be out on the water after dark. A beautiful trip peaceful with lots of great sites. Boston looks very different at night compared to the day. Highly recommend.

So relaxing and the lights were just stunning! - I booked the Northern Lights cruise in Boston Harbor on Groupon for my birthday weekend. I really wanted to do a night-lights cruise and the Ghost and Graveyards Trolley, but only had three nights. I was staying in East Windsor, CT because I was going to Six Flags, New England the next day on my birthday. This meant, after driving 8 hours from Ontario, I would have to drive an hour and 45 to Boston to do the cruise the first night. I did so, and it was totally worth the extra drive there and back to the hotel. The cruise leaves from the dock close to the aquarium. It was easy to find and I found a parking garage quite close for $8. The walk wasn't bad and the streets were well-lit. I felt safe the entire time. There were already people waiting at the dock, and I found them when a waiter from the restaurant there pointed out the departure point. You need to go inside the office off to the left to get your boarding pass, but the whole experience was really easy. There were some other couples on the boat, so it was a quiet cruise, which was very nice. After all the driving, I really needed to relax, and this cruise did the trick. There is a full bar on board, so I got a tequila and soda and headed up to the top deck. There is seating both inside and outside with plenty of places to sit. There were two sectional-type sofas on the upper deck, but those were only occupied. Unfortunately, those are the only two soft places to sit. But I didn't find the hard chair too uncomfortable. The boat pulled out from the dock and we cruised slowly around the harbor and out where we could see the suspension bridge all lit up. They played soft music for the entire hour, which was really nice. It had been a very hot day, and I was surprised by how cold the air was out on the water. I did see the waiters bringing blankets to people, but I did bring my jacket, so I was fine. There are ships sitting on the water strung with lights and older vessels that reminded me of pirate ships. Literally, everywhere you look there are lights. The way they shine across the water is so beautiful. There were even fireworks off in the distance. I really enjoyed this cruise. The crew was so nice and the experience so peaceful and filled with beauty. Perfect way to kick off a birthday weekend. All the amazing things I did in Boston have me planning a return trip there for my birthday next year, and this was definitely one of the deciding factors! Highly recommended.

Adirondack III Sail for Fireworks & Harbor Sail... - I found an offering to take an Adirondack III sail in Boston Harbor to watch the Illuminate the Harbor Labor Day fireworks. It was absolutely INCREDIBLE. The boat is lovely, the staff is so friendly & outgoing, and the harbor lovely as ever to sail around. I also took another cruise one evening for an evening sail. The city was a bit steamy both days, but weather was perfect out on the water. This company is wonderful, and I've sailed many times by now. Will continue traveling with them as long as they're in Boston.

Great Experience! - Went on this excursion on our final night in Boston. Well worth it. No loud narration, just soft pop music from the 80s, perfect evening weather, calm waters, smooth ride. As a bonus, the captain invited me, my son and my wife into the bridge to see the view from the wheel. A very nice treat! (Hint: Look for discounted tickets on Gold Star!)

Decent Cruise crew could do a little more to make it more comfortable - We arrived for our cruise after an evening of rain showers. It had cleared and was nice. Nearly every surface of the upper deck was wet and no attempt made by the crew to wipe anything down.
