Helpful, friendly staff. Efficient at boat setting off on time. Clean, comfortable seating on large boat so plenty of seats. Cafe, clean toilets on board. We did the 90 minute tour around the Islands off Boston harbour. Well worth it, very informative with an excellent commentary.

Booked the Boston Historic Sightseeing Cruise easily through their website. My wife and I sat on the outside deck (top floor) to enjoy the view. Best place to be, but bring a jacket as it is windy. Honestly, this was the highlight of our 48 hours in Boston, probably due to Declan, our narrator. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour.
