      Could be better
      The departure was at 6pm. We didn’t leave until 6:25pm. The sunset was on the other side of Boston and by the time we got there the sunset was 3/4 done.

      A great view of a great city!
      Our guide (I want to say Kevin?) was charming and witty, and kept things very entertaining. We thought a thunderstorm was going to ruin the evening, but the clouds parted and gave us an absolutely stunning view of Boston from the harbour. This was a fantastic experience that I wholeheartedly recommend.

      Beautiful Sunset Cruise
      We had a very enjoyable evening cruise on Saturday, August 10th. We felt welcomed and we couldn't have asked for better weather. I also extremely grateful that they worked with me on rescheduling, as I had accidentally set up my reservation for the wrong date. This did not go unnoticed and was very much appreciated!!! Thank you to the Viator agent - Ace Wowie and Massachusetts Bay Line for your assistance and understanding!

      The cruise was very nice! We enjoyed it very much! We highly recommend this cruise!! The captain did a nice job on landmarks along the cruise! It was cloudy the day we ruined but still worth it!

      Cruising Along
      We had a lovely time on this cruise. We had no problem getting our tickets or boarding. The boat itself was a fun riverboat, definitely gave everything a vintage feel. The cruise itself was fun, they take you on a long loop of Boston harbor, describing the skyline, as well as talking about the various ships in port, the harbor islands, East Boston, and Charlestown. A highlight for us was when the ship stopped in Boston Harbor to watch the USS Constitution fire off its canon! Definitely a very unique experience to witness and one we both enjoyed. Keep in mind that it is a cash bar, though we found that the prices were very fair for being in Boston. We were also very pleased with the price of the tickets, and felt that we got a great value for what we paid. Keep in mind that this is an all ages cruise. We were by a group of younger kids that was running around and causing a lot of noise. They of course have the right to have fun, but we felt it was a bit disruptive. We also found that some of the trivia we were being told was factually incorrect, which as someone who knows the history was disappointing to hear. Overall this is a great value cruise to check out and was definitely worth it.

      Sunset cruise at Boston Harbor
      Great cruise in Boston! July 4th on the Charles River. So relaxing and so much history. Staff could not do enough to make this a great cruise.

      Awesome!
      This cruise was truly great. The guide talked and added quite a bit, but also took breaks from talking to allow you to talk to members in your group. Perfect balance. Others have mentioned broken speakers...a lot of mentions on that...well, I think they fixed the speakers! No problems whatsoever, sounded new. Awesome route through the harbor. It's a very low price for this tour...very worth it. I'm not sure why you'd spend more on a more expensive tour.

      A wonderful and unique experience
      A truly lovely experience! Riding along the shoreline gave spectacular views. We went down to the point that the airplanes were flying above us which was super cool. We left the shore in daylight, floated through the golden hour of beautiful lighting, and returned to see the night view of the buildings. Always beautiful. The staff were all warm and friendly. All the passengers seem to be in a very good mood and enjoying themselves. This was an awesome experience and I highly recommend it.

      The trip was good and very enjoyable. The seating was old, kitchen type chairs which were arranged around the walls of the enclosed deck facing inwards! The commentary sounded very good but we could not hear it as the other passengers were talking and laughing. It was too cold to stay outside for very long to escape their noise. Proper seating and requesting passengers to be quiet during the commentary would be much better

      Meh
      Nothing special. The highlight is seeing the Boston skyline after dark otherwise kind of boring. The ship is older and doesn't have very comfortable seating. The drinks are limited, pricy and in cans. Cash only. The tour wasn't very expensive so I guess it was OK.
