This tour is a nice way to wind down a day in Boston with light history, great harbor views and a lovely sunset.
This is a wonderful experience! The captain and crew are very friendly. The experience of being in the harbor at sunset is beautiful. This was our third time to take this cruise and it has always been wonderful.
Lovely, relaxing way to spend a Sunday night in Boston Harbor. We lucked out with great weather - so got some great pictures. Narration was informative and interesting while still allowing us to enjoy the view. Only hiccup was that we weren’t told we had to pick up boarding passes even though we had tickets. This required that we had to relinquish a good spot on line. Even so we enjoyed our evening. Bar was well stocked and staff very friendly. Definitely recommend as a highlight to a trip to Boston

Fantastic, definitely worth it. Great views beautiful boat. Pay attention to when the cannon goes off if you want to record it
The Patriot was the perfect size for an intimate evening on the water. The sunset cruise was topped off with seeing the historic USS Constitution fire one of its canons and strike its colors! This new little yacht ensures that you are not crowded and can move about with ease! Our guide, captain, and bartender were all lovely. Our guide was happy to chat with us but specifically said it would not be a history tour unless we wanted it as it was not what this cruise was designed for. What an incredible night!

We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again soon! - Classic Harbor Line Boston
Chill way to get out on the harbor for a few hours in the evening. Pretty seeing the sun set behind the Boston skyscrapers. You also get to hear the USS Constitution fire its cannons.

We had a great time on the Northern Lights boat at sunset last night! We lucked out with beautiful weather, great captain (Jessica), and a stunning sunset. While the commentary was minimal it was easy to understand and great information. We were happy with the food and beverage choices. We snacked on a charcuterie board and shared a bottle of wine.

So fun! Drinks and snacks are available. Went on a “later” cruise (7-9) and just had the most beautiful views catching the sun setting. Great staff!
