Fun and minimally spooky
My husband and I went on the Haunted boat tour and enjoyed the storytelling of the staff! When we got there, it was already dark so it took us a minute to find the right place to go inside to check in for boarding the boat, but we found it and were ready to go early. The city views from the water were very pretty, but if I went again, I would go at sunset instead of 9 so I could actually see more. Overall was entertaining and got us in the Harbor for 1.5 hours.

Tall Ships harbor cruise
Just a great way to spend 90 minutes in Boston Harbor. Narrated sail in small boat enabled us to go by so many beautiful Tall Ships. Kiera's narration made it so much fun. Dante was our skipper and did a great job, so patient with everyone 's questions while working so hard on the sail. Would do this trip again in a heartbeat. Easy to find them at Rowe's Wharf. Thought the price we were charged, about 70 dollars each was well worth it. Can't say enough good things about the experience!
Operator response
