Listen to the other reviewers and be wary of this operator. They do seem to cancel last minute and blame it on "rough seas" for whatever the reason. I would have been fine if they needed to cancel for mechanical or crew issues, but would have appreciated honesty. We quickly booked with another operator leaving from Plymouth, and as you can see from the pictures it was about as flat as it comes. Additionally, when they cancel for "rough seas" last minute, they conveniently make refund difficult, with obvious preference for reschedule or gift card. In the email there is a refund option/button, but it brings you to the website where it is not an option, and you have to call national city cruises and try to speak to someone to try and get a refund. As a Boston resident, I can say that Plymouth was a much more picturesque departure spot anyway for my guests, and we found Captain John's to be reliable and enjoyable unlike city cruises. Also when you call captain john's a person answers! Rather than an automated national system with city cruises. If you have a means of transportation, would recommend more reliable Captain John's from Plymouth, or a cruise outfit leaving from Salem as City Cruises seems a bit unreliable.
