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.

Amazing food, friendly staff, better than expected experience. Got tickets for my grandmothers birthday and she enjoyed herself very much. We were both satisfied with the tour start to finish.

Perfect brunch

Carly_M, Nov 2024
Such great food and it was perfect for giving our bride to be a fast brunch and some drinks before starting the day!

Great birthday brunch for my husband

Tonya_S, Nov 2024
It was amazing!! The food was excellent and the staff was gracious and friendly. It was a beautiful day and we learned a lot about the sites we saw and a little bit of marine knowledge too! The vessel itself was clean and the seas weren’t too rough until we got out a little ways but it was time to turn around to head back anyway so it was virtually smooth the whole trip. Well worth it!!

Wonderful

Kristine_P, Nov 2024
Great weather for a ride. The food was delicious. The captain was wonderful. Wish they had decaf coffee.

Amazing excursion

Dianna_S, Oct 2024
Fantastic excursion! The boat was very comfortable and cozy and was decorated so nicely for the fall! Loved that there was an inside and upstairs was outside, partially covered as well. I was pleasantly surprised with the buffet. Food was great and fresh. The Captain was SO informative with the Boston area and gave great commentary. I am a local but ended up learning a lot about the Boston Harbor Islands! Highly reccomend
