Disappointed
The cruise was only 2 hours and the boat slowed the last half hour just to get to 2 hours. The website mentioned that, weather permitting, a viewing of a historic lighthouse was possible; the weather was fine and the ship slowed to get to 2 hours, so I think that time wasn't a problem either. Narration was minimal for landmarks and where we were--on one of the rivers or the bay.
The 3 crew members who waited on us were terrific and the interior was festively decorated for the holidays. The brunch food was acceptable--met my average expectations.

Nice morning cruise around the Harbor
We thought that maybe it would be too late in the season for the fall foliage, but we were lucky to capture the tail end of the season. The crew aboard the ship were wonderful! The captain was spot on with his management of the boat, speeds when compared with the prevailing wind, which allowed for us to sit up top and not be cold. The tour guide was awesome, hitting all the highlights around the harbor. Highly recommend this tour, especially later in the season when not too crowded.

Relaxing ride and decent brunch
Varied lunch buffet, cash bar, comfortable table seating inside. Chairs on upper deck for great views of harbor and Boston skyline. Friendly staff. A few key sightseeing points of note made over loudspeaker. Great opportunity to sit, chat, and relax while seeing the harbor.
