Beautiful boat. Very relaxing. Great narrative. Beautiful setting. Would highly recommend for a fun outing with family or friends to show them the harbor and pick up a few fun facts for yourself.
The boat tour was pleasant but not much was pointed out from our guide. While it was a nice boat cruise it wasn’t really informative or interesting. A little disappointing compared to other tours we’ve done.
Shirley, thank you for booking a cruise with us and taking some time to provide your valuable feedback. We are happy to hear that you appreciated the cruise, and we're sorry to learn that you were disappointed by the level of narration. Our sails and cruises have varying levels of narration, but we do offer a Harbor History Tour on Patriot that it sounds like you would prefer. We hope you will consider joining us for that option another time! - Classic Harbor Line Boston
This was a relaxing beautiful way to get a view of Boston from the water in all its glory! The crew on the Northern Lights was so friendly, professional, and helpful! Take this cruise! You won’t regret it!
It was a great way to spend some time relaxing on a boat with beautiful weather, family and drinks! A great way to spend a summer afternoon!
We had a great time. Excellent views, the food was very good, just right amount of time on the water. It was a very easy and fast boarding and deboarding. We plan to do again.
Awesome experience and great way to see the city from a different perspective. Captain is extremely knowledgeable. The tour is very interesting and informative.
Great price for a nice ride around the harbor. It was informative without being over the top.

Would have preferred more narration as we passed by a lot, but little was pointed out. We’re not from Boston, so we didn’t know what we were looking out. Otherwise, it was a smooth system to board and take the tour. Some cool places were mentioned & much appreciated.
Such an awesome way to explore Boston Harbor. You see historic sites. It’s a very relaxing way, to discover and appreciate the beauty, of Boston’s amazing architecture and history.
Exciting and informative. Gives a very good overview of the city and the harbor. You could see many landmarks in the city from the boat.
