The tour operator canceled twice this tour.
I waiting for refund as soon as being possible.
Last time was because of Weather conditions.
TX_R, Oct 2024
Crew was great and the ship was well maintained. A great experience for myself and my friend. I highly recommend it if in Boston.
John_G, Sep 2024
We waited at the dock till 30 minutes after cruising time but the ship never showed. One of our evenings in Boston was waisted.
Jessica_P, Sep 2024
The breeze off the water, the smell of the bay, meeting new people. Getting on and off the boat was a bit challenging. Needed assistance both times.
carol_v, Sep 2024
A really fantastic way to see Boston harbour, it’s not a tour guide type tour, which is fine by me, get a duck tour if that’s your thing, but it is a relaxed and beautiful way to get a different perspective.
Caio_V, Sep 2024
It is a very authentic experience. I felt like a pirate. The ship is relatively small, so it never got too crowded. Some guests even learned the ropes and helped to release the sails.
The passing by of other tall ship and they “fighting” each other with water cannons was the cherry top.
Carlotta_L, Sep 2024
There was no narrator and no music. The captain said that he did not know any of the surrounding sites.
Timothy_M, Sep 2024
Weather was great, but conversations with crew was the most enjoyable. They were very welcoming and knowledgeable and seemed to love what they do.
Amanda_C, Aug 2024

Absolutely loved this experience aboard the Liberty Star. We had gorgeous city views from the water. The captain and deck hands were professional and informative yet extremely funny. Price was fair and we enjoyed the drink selection aboard.
Emily_D, Aug 2024
