I really enjoyed the cruise around the harbor. We were given a great deal of historical information. It was all very enjoyable, not only the historical overview, but also the beautiful scenery. Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed this sightseeing cruise while I was in the shade. If you were one of the lucky ones with a shaded seat the whole trip was pleasant. It was great to see Boston from a different point of view and hear about the history. Our tour guide tried a little too hard to be entertaining and his voice difficult to take at times. But overall a good trip.

We had an absolutely lovely day for a boat ride. The guide was informative. Have to be honest and say the coolest thing was watching the planes come for landing at Logan airport. Would recommend it.
