Our sight seeing cruise on the Northern Lights was so fun! It was a beautiful day and the boat was comfortable, clean, and even though the cruise was full there was plenty of seating and room to move around. The tour wasn't super talk-heavy, so there was plenty opportunity to chat in between landmarks or just relax and take in the views.

Great boat tour on Boston harbor Easy to locate the dock Easy check in and very friendly service Would recommend
Beautiful ship, great crew and very scenic tour. Highly recommended for everyone. Very good drinks. Great way to see Boston.
Only issue was when the guide kept talking while planes took off from Logan Airport overhead. We obviously could not hear. The bathrooms were surprisingly nice and clean.
Great harbor tour. Capital was awesome. Crew were on it and personable.

Loved the boat - loved the one and a half tour - easy on and off - great for the six of us ages 12-73!!
Nice way to see the harbor and the skyline! Very relaxing and a good way to spend time with one another.
The whole journey is lovely. The crew and captain were wonderful. The narration was great. Maybe even a little more would be fun.
We were able to take very beautiful photos 📷 and videos. We will keep a very beautiful memory. This allowed us to discover the Boston marina.
