Fantastic sailing experience. The crew were all very helpful and friendly. I will definitely take this trip again on my next visit to Boston.
Relaxing 1.5 hrs on the water.
The weather was great. I wished they had pointed out more items all around us.
The crew was amazing! Andrew, Charlie and Mike were very friendly and made our trip fun and relaxing. they told us so many interesting facts about the harbor and the city of Boston. Don't miss this experience!
The crew was very helpful and knowledgeable. They do sell beverages on the ship but you are able to bring your own onto the ship too.
It was great being on the water and seeing Boston Harbor in a unique way. The Captain and crew were very informative and personable.
Beautiful serene couple of hours boating in the Harbor on a beautiful boat, the Adirondack II. Captain Eric and crew were great.!! Highly recommend.
Great cruise! Very chill and relaxing. Crew was super friendly. Highly recommend. Suitable for all ages.
Wonderful time spent sailing, totally relaxing and totally fun. One of the best things we did in Boston.
Our sightseeing day sail around Boston Harbor was amazing! We had great views of the skyline, Bunker Hill, Old Ironsides, Logan Airport and the Harbor Islands! It was pretty cool having the incoming flight path of airliners fly right over the sail boat as they approached the runway for landing! The best part of the entire cruise was the crew! From the Captain, Eric, to the 3 deckhands, Kira, Joe and John. They were very attentive and informative on everything from safety to sail handling and docking! Eric also had good anecdotes of Harbor sailing, given his experience on the water. I also found that the deck hand crew had a very varied and diverse background experience in work, study and travel. Also, it was great to be able to take the helm for a bit, under the watchful eye and guidance of the Captain. Everyone enjoyed that. The other passengers were fun to converse with and share the experience with! I would highly recommend this be a part of your Boston itinerary! You can’t go wrong with a great sunny afternoon, enjoying cocktails in Boston Harbor with great folks! Thank you! We’ll be back! “Party Marty”
