If Boston is best seen from the water, then by far the best time to see it is during a sunset cruise on a classic Boston tall ship! We depart Fan Pier Marina and raise the sails, then it’s time to just chill out and relax. Get away from the hustle and bustle of the city streets and enjoy some quality time out on the water with unbeatable views of the skyline sparkling in the twilight. Drinks are available onboard for purchase via cash, credit, or Apple Pay - our menu includes several beers brewed right here in Boston! We also feature cocktails made with locally-distilled spirits. Snacks and bag lunches are welcome, but please no coolers or outside beverages. There is no formal narration during our public sails, but feel free to ask the captain and crew and they’ll happily share their knowledge of local landmarks and history.
View beautiful historic Boston from a new vantage point, aboard a traditional tall ship.
I knew ahead of time that there would be no narration...but I missed it.
Happy to hear you enjoyed your sail. Our sails are designed to provide a relaxing, enjoyable experience on the water, so we don't offer narration during the sail. We are glad you still had a wonderful time and hope to welcome you back again!
The tall ship experience was so much more interesting and engaging--and peaceful--than a typical harbor cruise! We loved being on this historically accurate schooner, unfurling the sails, and hearing the quiet creak of the sails and ropes as we were driven forward by the wind. We asked one of the crew members about a few things that sparked our curiosity, and he was a wealth of information. We took a sunset cruise and got to see the USS Constitution fire off her cannon, as she does every sunrise and sunset. The views of the bay and lighted buildings were great.
Sherri so happy to hear that you enjoyed your sail with us and were able to see the USS Constitution cannon fire. We are thrilled that our crew was able to provide you with their knowledge of the harbor and our vessel.
This was a wonderful experience. Sailing on this beautiful wooden vessel was better than we expected. It was very peaceful and beautiful out on the bay and so quiet with lots to see all the way around—the boat turned around 360 two times. For the sunset cruise, the Captain took us by the USS Constitution, which fired a cannon at sunset.The team on board is so friendly/-they shared lots of stories and history. We would highly recommend this 2-hour experience—we would do this again!! Thank you to the exceptional 3-person crew!!

Great unique experience well worth the money!
Thank you so much for the 5 star review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed sailing with us!
My wife and I took my parents on this sail boat ride while they were in town, and this is now going to be a MUST-DO activity anytime we have any friends or family coming into town. As worried as we were about the evening being a bit overcast, this was such a great experience! The crew (Captain Jasper, Jessica, and Lauren) were genuinely wonderful, and they made us feel right at home on the boat. With smooth sailing and no loud engines, we had two nice hours of just enjoying the views and time with our family. Also, no one on our boat seemed to get sea sick so additional kudos to the crew for the smooth ride! Can’t wait to go back soon!!
We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed sailing with us! Thank you very much for your feedback. We will make sure our crew is aware how much you enjoyed the experience.
This was an epic experience! The crew was great and interesting. The sights were incredible and we highly recommend!
