From the moment we stepped aboard, everything about this sunset cruise was fantastic. The staff were genuinely warm, friendly and attentive, making everyone feel welcome throughout the evening. The boat itself was beautiful, impeccably maintained, comfortable and the perfect setting to watch the sun go down over Boston Harbor. The views were absolutely stunning, with the city skyline looking even more spectacular as the light changed. It was such a relaxing and memorable experience, and a real highlight of our time in Boston. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cruise to anyone visiting the city. Thank you to the wonderful crew for making it such a special evening!
This was a nice relaxing sail on the bay. No loud music and not a party boat. Be sure to bundle up or have layers as it might get cold. The sailing was great, the Captain zig zagged the boat so either side enjoyed the views, and yes they used the sails. Limited cocktails are offrered for a hefty price. Overall this is nice for a couple to enjoy.
We had a wonderful sunset cruise of the harbor. The view from the ship of the sun setting over the Boston skyline was beautiful. The ship was very nice and clean and the staff were wonderful. Captain Dante and the crew were great at explaining the landmarks and answering questions about the ship and Boston in general. We had a great time.
Erick, thank you for booking a cruise with us and taking some time to provide your valuable feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the stunning sunset over the Boston skyline. It's wonderful to know that Captain Dante and the friendly crew made your experience memorable by sharing their knowledge of the landmarks. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again soon! - Classic Harbor Line Boston
We had such a nice time. The sunset over the Boston skyline was beautiful and the staff and ship are very nice. Captain Dante was great as well as the staff, Charlie and others were excellent at pointing out landmarks, explaining the ship workings and generally giving pointers on visiting the city. It was a great time!
Absolutely amazing. Michael and his crew were fantastic. The cruise was beautiful and we completely enjoyed it. Highly recommend!!
We should have been notified that the cruise was cancelled. I’d like to have my account be credited so that I can use the unused monies fr an activity in my home town of Lex, KY. Thanking you in advance. I’ve been a loyal customer for many years.
Denise, thank you for booking a sail with us and taking some time to provide your valuable feedback. We are sorry to hear that you did not receive our notifications that your sail was canceled due to weather. We did call, leave a voicemail, send a text, and send an email to let you know as soon as we could once the trip had been canceled. Your booking has been fully refunded. We hope you will reconsider this review since we tried all possible methods available to us to contact you, and the cancellation due to weather was beyond our control, so we're not sure how we would have provided better customer service on this occasion, given the circumstances. We also hope you will be able to join us on another occasion in better weather! - Classic Harbor Line Boston
Beautiful boat, great and knowledgeable crew! Amazing sunset and views of the city. They gave us panchos when it started raining!
Lovely ship. Would love to hear more about the harbor and see more areas. Sailing was wonderful. More of a tour would be great.
It was a lovely experience and the crew couldn't have been more wonderful! Definitely recommend this tour/boat/crew!
We had an amazing experience with Eric, Claire and Alex on the Adirondack II last night! Beautiful weather, sky and amazing views! We can’t wait to book again when we come back! Also the SunBoy spiked water that Claire recommended 10/10!
