Great cruise! No sunset but still fabulous! - The firing of the cannon off the USS Constitution! Service was great. Had a glass of red wine - it was great with a reasonable price attached!

Boston harbor sights - Listening to the history of Boston and seeing the US Constitution firing its canon. The host was very knowledgeable. The weather was a little rainy, but we still had a great time. There was complimentary coffee and soda.

Great photo opps - Great time, good cocktails & photo oops. I’d do it again. Boston by water at Sunset is beautiful. The weather was nice and the sunset pics were a bonus.

Spirit Lifting Trip - Deboard Feeling Happy - Awesome time! Loved the canon and cruising by the Coast Guard. The Italian Ice drinks were the best new cocktails I’ve tried in a long time! Highly recommend. Such a fun activity. We’ll be back.

Excellent Viewpoint to Experience Boston - My wife and son and I went on this Cruise in July during a trip to the East Coast. Aside from a beautiful view of the city and neighboring islands, we were lucky to have Holly as the Narrator on our trip. She was excellent at sharing interesting information about the Harbor and surrounding islands pointing out historical and unique features and stories along the way.

Great sunset cruise! - The crew was great and we really enjoyed being on a smaller boat under sail power for part of the time rather than a big dinner cruise. Great views of sunset, planes taking off and landing at Logan, and the Boston skyline!

Just get in line early if you want to sit on upper deck, it’s a great view.

A boat ride - The boat trip was a circuit around the Boston harbor area. It was nice to hear the pilot mention certain structures. We stayed around the USS Constitution to witness the underwhelming firing of the cannon. We would have liked more narration to go along with just pointing stuff out.
