The skyline views are beautiful, and the boat moves at a relaxing pace, giving you plenty of time to take in the sights and enjoy the scenery. The cruiser is older and could use some interior upgrades, but overall, the experience offers a nice way to see the city from the water at a reasonable price.
Nice experience overall. An area for improvement is the tour narrator would sometimes say to the ‘right or left’ there is a particular item of interest but I was unable to figure out what he was referring to. After-all, the tour is in an urban environment, so I see 25 buildings or objects left or right. A little more detail of exactly what to focus on, like color of building or type of structure or something to make it easy to zero in upon for visitors. I kept asking my wife “Do you see what he is talking about as I don’t?” But the ride is smooth and not rushed and price is reasonable!
Excellent experience with a very good guide to Boston. Worth every cent!! The sunset cannon salute at Old Ironsides was a special addition.
Beautiful views of the Boston skyline and sunset! The only thing I wish was that there was more narration…there is plenty more history if Boston to fill in the gaps…could also add how the waterfront has changed over the years or the efforts to clean up the bay. Give more info of the huge yachts in the harbor…just some suggestions!
Very nice experience Not too crowded and very chill. Well-organized staff
Sunset Cruise was a blast, literally. Lots of rich history, fun facts, and little surprises along the way.
It was a smooth ride and educational. Can wait to visit Boston again and explore what it has to offer.
