Sunset Cruises are always an attraction for a City Skyline featuring high rise buildings. Boston has a smaller Downtown compared with other bigger cities but the Cruise does a very good job of showcasing it well. The Sunset Cruise is timed to catch the twilight and the night skyline. The ship has two levels, lower is enclosed and table and chair seating, and the upper deck is open - can get cold with wind. Ship also has drinks and snacks. Leisurely two hour cruise.

Very nice. Glad the interior of the boat was large, enclosed, and warm. Liked that it stopped and waited for “Old Ironsides” to shoot its cannon at sunset. Narration was good but sparse.

There was absolutely zero parking so we missed the boat. We requested a refund and have heard nothing back from the company. Very disappointed in the lack of information from the company when I booked this cruise. People not from Boston will have no idea that there will be zero parking and we were not informed. We were not the only group to miss this boat. I bet they make a killing on people who are unable to attend.
