Took this cruise 7/11. Our narrator was Devon. What a great experience. Knowledgable staff. The trip is 90 minutes but went too fast! Next time in Boston would repeat this great cruise.

We were really impressed with this tour and what really made it was Declan’s excellent commentary- he had encyclopaedic knowledge of the City , he included historical information and quirky random facts. We sat outside and a first thought it a little odd that all the chairs faced one way in rows but this enables the guide to focus commentary on what is in front of you - no turning constantly and getting a crick in your neck ! The commentary also had great audio often a let down on boat tours. Having spent the day exploring Boston by foot this tour gave a different perspective and the views of the city are fabulous. It can get cool on deck so bring a jacket .
