Cozy and FUN Hot Cocoa Cruise

What a delight. The ambiance was perfect. Decorated with wreathes and garlands and light. A LOVELY jazz band played tasteful holiday tunes throughout the ride. The hot chocolate was DELICIOUS and unlimited! And they had a cool whipped cream dispenser for exceptionally yummy and fresh whipped cream. Coffee was also available for free, so we made a coffee-hot chocolate. So yummy. They also offer “spiked” hot chocolate from the bar. You can purchase special liquor combinations in fancy cups to then add to your hot chocolate as well. We got baileys and peppermint schnapps to add to ours which was also very good. Overall, it was a relaxing, cozy and fun boat cruise for this time of year. Here are some tips: 1)We went on the 3pm ride which I’d highly recommended. It’s an hour and a half and so we finished promptly at 4:30. The sun set at 4:22 so the lighting over the harbor was so perfect even with some haze in the sky. Plus once you exit, it’s perfect timing to head to your favorite spot for a dinner reservation. 2) Bring some small games! You’ll get an assigned table spot which I thought helped make it stress free. Our group brought small travel-sized versions of Bananagrams and Qwirkle to play on the ride. It was perfect! The games plus the music, hot chocolate, jazz music, and the peaceful ride in the harbor made such a perfect combination for a memorable afternoon.

Don't miss this a great opportunity!

This was an amazing cruise. This was my family's first time on a boat and we loved every minute. The scenery was beautiful and the boat was such a fantastic experience. The food and drinks were great. I would highly recommend this experience. My family and I can't wait until we visit Boston again. Thank you for the memories.

Relaxing ride and decent brunch

Varied lunch buffet, cash bar, comfortable table seating inside. Chairs on upper deck for great views of harbor and Boston skyline. Friendly staff. A few key sightseeing points of note made over loudspeaker. Great opportunity to sit, chat, and relax while seeing the harbor.

Maybe a map of the harbor...

Maybe a map of the harbor and where you will go. I expected to go a little further down into the bay. Other than that, everything was absolutely amazing. Food was good and ship was clean. The staff were there when you needed them and still gave you all the space you needed. Will definitely do again and would love one that was longer and more of a distance. Thank you for an amazing experience.
