Great Harbor Cruise

Published on Oct, 2024

Highly recommended Super nice staff Very clean boat with fully stocked craft bar Excellent wine selection Honest great pricing

Beautiful View of the City from the Water

Published on Oct, 2024

We enjoyed the tour very much. It was a windy day so it was a bit cold on the top deck but we still enjoyed it. The captain gave us some commentary on certain areas but not the whole time which we appreciated. It was fun to sail under the planes landing at the airport. The boat (Northern Lights) is beautiful and very comfortable. It was not a full tour so we had plenty of room. You get a beautiful view of the city from the water.

relaxing way to see the harbor

Published on Oct, 2024

great relaxing 1 1/2 hours. very nice to sit and see the Boston sky line from the harbor. Plenty of room to sit and relax and have a drink as there's a bar on board. The captian giving comentry of the main points we were seeing. And an added bonus of seals swimming in the harbor.

Beautiful View

Published on Oct, 2024

Beautiful views of the city from the Harbor! A relaxing, enjoyable experience. Highlights of the city were pointed out but it wasn't a continuous narration of Boston. It allowed my husband and me to enjoy a cocktail, each other, and the views.
