Beautiful Sunset - Beautiful and informative way to see Boston. We took a great tour around the harbor. Able to have a glass of wine and learn about the other boats, the airport, USS Constitution, and so many other things. Great relaxing night on the water.

Great tour - The tour was very informative. Love the vintage feel of the boat, ties in with all the historic boats in the area. The view at night of the city is sooo beautiful. The view and tour was totally worth the money. Would recommend.

Great Experience - Great 90 min boat ride- exceptional for the price. Get there early, a bit confusing on where it is located, if you’re not familiar with the area. Bring cash for the bar or use atm onboard!

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.

Enjoyable cruise but limited information. - An enjoyable harbour cruise which gave good views of the city. Chairs on the deck were limited and it was a long cruise to be standing the whole time. It was difficult to hear the commentary most of the time. However, it was a good sunset and we got the timings right to hear the gun shot at sunset.

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.

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.

Disappointing Sunset Cruise Experience - I recently took a sunset cruise, hoping for a serene evening on the water, but was met with a scene straight out of a neglected attic. The vessel seemed to have been untouched since 1972, with worn-out rugs that could tell stories from decades past. The ceiling was literally falling apart, adding an unexpected sprinkle of plaster to our experience. I was surprised to find the dining tables bare, lacking any tablecloths, which could have added a touch of elegance or at least covered up the aging surfaces. The seating was incredibly uncomfortable; it felt like sitting on stone slabs rather than cushions. Decoratively, the interior was “adorned” with random pieces of wood propped against the walls, which contributed to a rather makeshift ambiance. A silent journey without music amplified the creaks and groans of the old, moldy boat, making it impossible to relax or enjoy what should have been a picturesque voyage. This cruise drastically missed the mark on providing a pleasant atmosphere and needs significant updates and a thorough cleaning to meet basic expectations for a paid experience.
