Sightseeing Day Sail around Boston Harbor

Susan_H, Sep 2026

Beautiful sailing Boston!

It was way more than I expected. The ship was beautiful as was the weather. The crew members were fun, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Seeing Boston from the harbor was a whole new experience. The airplanes went right over us. I have already told a lot of my friends and family.

Great, relaxing tour

Our sight seeing cruise on the Northern Lights was so fun! It was a beautiful day and the boat was comfortable, clean, and even though the cruise was full there was plenty of seating and room to move around. The tour wasn't super talk-heavy, so there was plenty opportunity to chat in between landmarks or just relax and take in the views.

Sunset Sailing Cruise on a Tall Ship in Boston Harbor

Best Boating Experience in Boston & Worth Every Penny!

My wife and I took my parents on this sail boat ride while they were in town, and this is now going to be a MUST-DO activity anytime we have any friends or family coming into town. As worried as we were about the evening being a bit overcast, this was such a great experience! The crew (Captain Jasper, Jessica, and Lauren) were genuinely wonderful, and they made us feel right at home on the boat. With smooth sailing and no loud engines, we had two nice hours of just enjoying the views and time with our family. Also, no one on our boat seemed to get sea sick so additional kudos to the crew for the smooth ride! Can’t wait to go back soon!!

This is a lovely and...

This is a lovely and relaxing sailboat excursion right off of Boston Harbor. The meeting location is a bit hard to find, but you can’t miss the Oyster Bar right next door at the location, where you’ll be able to find the meeting point. The crew was excellent and I’d highly recommend to do this in an afternoon, especially if you spent the morning walking around the city.

Beautiful and relaxing experience!

Great evening activity! It was super relaxed and easy to get to the ferry and all the staff were very kind and helpful. The boat is beautiful and the sunset views were gorgeous. This was the perfect date activity but there were also groups of friends and families on board. It was windy on the water so a good coat is a must, but the inside was nice and warm for a break from the weather. The food was good but more appetizer/small bites style so plan on getting a few things to make a light dinner. Would definitely go again!
