We went on the 90 minute 11am trip. Despite a stiff breeze the boat was steady and the route passed by lots of interesting places. The commentary by Kevin was excellent, my only negative is that when passing by the permanently moored destroyer USS Cassin Young he failed to mention that the ship is named after an American hero who is Medal of Honour and Navy Cross holder. The reason that Captain Young was awarded the USA’s highest military medals is to be found on Wikipedia. Be nice if he can include the story in his commentary.

The sightseeing cruise was excellent. The narrator gave a lot of great information. It didn't move too slow or fast. The weather was beautiful, dress warm if you want to stay on the upper deck, but 3 levels of viewing provide some great options.

We had a relaxing ride while learning a lot more about Boston and the surrounding islands. The narrator was entertaining, and the weather allowed us to ride top deck, which provided great views of the harbor!
