Boston Harbor Sunset Cruise. - It was a nice cruise and they even provided a great sunset. The jets taking off over the harbor was an added bonus.

Had fun will be back - Went wirh fam/friends foe my b.day. Great cruise! Good value for what you get. The captain was a woman which I found cool. The guide had a great voice and his tour was informative. The bartender was nice. Late September evening so it was chilly you should dress warm and bring a blanket. Some brought their own food, brilliant idea. We will back in the summer!

Friday night Sunset Cruise Sept 27 2024 - Captain Jay and his crew did an excellent job of talking about the Bosron harbor history and identifying the various buildings and boats we passed. We were in excel l ent position to see the Constitution sunset Canon fire. I was able to view this from the bridge with a special invite by the captain. A great night was enjoyed.

Nice tour - It was very informative. Fairly comfortable, but other guests weren't always considerate when standing in front of our viewing area. The tour was nice overall though.

Speakers - Where we sitting, the speaker didn't work. We told the staff, it was fixed for about 5 minutes. Beautiful cruise.

Spectacular view from the sunset cruise - Captain spent quality time in the harbor during the sunset. The background information at every point was very good. The boat was not overly full, and clean. We could not climb the stairs and stayed downstair indoor, yet the view was spectacular and we were able to take the pictures.

Cash only bar - dated boat - wine in cans - Slow service - Being out on the water seeing the city lights was nice. The boat itself was quite dated and you couldn’t hear the commentary from the captain inside the boat. They should have told us up front the bar was “cash” only. Without knowing that you had to use an atm inside the boat. Servers at bar waited for coffee to brew instead of taking next persons drink order very inefficient. One of 2 bartenders first bottle of Prosecco couldn’t fill the order so the second bartender had to go elsewhere to find another bottle to fill that order while we all waited. This was the first five minutes of departure.

Good view, awful experience - I liked the view but we couldn't hear anything outside. My wife is disabled and unable to move around the boat each time the speaker changed. It went in and out, crackled a lot and many people were complaining. I don't know what we passed and we were interested in landmarks. Other than the cannon, we didn't know what was going on. We could have sat anywhere and watched a sunset for nothing. We are very disappointed and upset. Honestly, we think we should get our money back.

Could be better - The departure was at 6pm. We didn’t leave until 6:25pm. The sunset was on the other side of Boston and by the time we got there the sunset was 3/4 done.
