I took this cruise with my family and an infant and we had a great time! The staff was very knowledgeable and the hot dogs were good! I definitely recommend it if your looking for a nice time on water with beautiful views!

Fabulous 90 minute cruise of inner and outer harbor. Easy access from Long Wharf next to Aquarium. I'm a Bostonian and found tour narrator Declan totally accurate and interesting with basic and little known facts about Boston's architecture, it's harbor islands, and how Boston developed its land and neighborhoods over past few centuries. Found it fascinating to cruise by airport twice and watch planes taking off and landing. Definitely worth $ to sit back and relax while viewing harbor sights and learning history. Lots of shaded seats outside as well as sunfilled seats at boat's bow. Restroom and snackbar at wharf and on boat.
