Pleasant way to see the harbor - What a pleasant way to see Boston Harbor! The boat was great, crew was extremely helpful and service oriented, the food was delicious, seating (both in and out of the sun) was plentiful and the restrooms were clean. The amount of narration was just right - enough to describe what we were seeing, but not enough to prevent our own conversation. Our only issue was finding the meeting place. The directions on our confirmation listed 60 Rowes Wharf as the meeting place. Using GPS, we were lead to (and many other folks) to an empty square along the harbor. We phoned the cruise line and their recording directed us to check in at the ticket office, behind/below the Boston Harbor Hotel. The confirmation also says that check in is 30 minutes before the cruise departure time. Thankfully, we took that 30 minute warning seriously and even added a little extra time, just in case finding a parking space was difficult. We ended up parking in the garage beneath the Boston harbor hotel, simply by coincidence, for a Saturday flat rate of $17. all day, Despite our initial difficulty finding the meeting spot, it was a great experience. I would absolutely recommend this cruise.

Cross off another "Bucket List" item. - Took the 4th of July brunch cruise with my wife and brother. Saw "Old Ironsides" on her annual turnaround. This has been a bucket list item for decades. Had a wonderful time and the brunch was excellent.

Good trip - Friendly staff, clean boat- not a party boat- relaxing ride. Saw interesting parts of the harbor. Good food but small plates. Lots of people going back for seconds. Would go again.

Excellent experience - The food was great! But a little bit more narration would have been nice. But it was a great trip in all.

Brunch, drinks & sailing - fab! - We spent a lovely couple of hours sailing around the harbour. We had a brunch buffet that was. Mix of cereals, fruit, hot breakfast items like egg, sausage and bacon. There was a range of muffins too. Everything was very tasty and fresh. The boat was not over full of people so we could wander around both upstairs on deck and in the cabin area. There was a bar and drinks were not overly expensive. The crew were very polite and the captain gave small bits of commentary about sites on the tour and some fun information too. Overall. Good trip and I would recommend for anybody wanting to spend a couple of hours at the weekend

Nice day for a cruise - It was a beautiful day and nice to be out on boat. The brunch did do much for me because lots of meat and not enough fruit options. The had a wonderful salad but loaded with dressing. Dressing on the side would have been better.

Good views bad food. - A cruise around Boston Harbor is always a treat. The food offered was not. Breakfast is my favorite meal and the egg and sausage offerings were sub par.
