Enjoyable and Relaxing Cruise
We did the Harbor Brunch Cruise. Getting on final passes and boarding was easy. We had brunch served right away and it was all so fresh and delicious. Able to eat out full, and then some! Top deck was shaded as we cruised around the harbor, but could easily eat on the lower, air conditioned deck. Would occasionally get on and point out interesting facts, but we could talk for the most part, that was nice. Cash bar available if desired. It was one of our favorites in Boston.
Also will point out that they don’t do refunds, as my brother found out after he got sick a few days before. But will do a gift certificate and honor that at another time.

Best Boston Brunch Cruise
What a wonderful way to kick off our morning and our trip to Boston. We had better views of some sights from this brunch cruise than when trying to tour them otherwise. Be aware many sights are closed during weekdays. Our captain and the crew on the cruise Sunday morning, April 26, was amazing! We only had the downstairs open and a small crew because there were not many of us on the cruise that morning. We loved the smaller group and the more quaint experience. We decided to take this cruise at the last minute and we are SO glad we did! HIGHLY recommend!
