Best Boston Brunch Cruise - What a wonderful way to kick off our morning and our trip to Boston. We had better views of some sights from this brunch cruise than when trying to tour them otherwise. Be aware many sights are closed during weekdays. Our captain and the crew on the cruise Sunday morning, April 26, was amazing! We only had the downstairs open and a small crew because there were not many of us on the cruise that morning. We loved the smaller group and the more quaint experience. We decided to take this cruise at the last minute and we are SO glad we did! HIGHLY recommend!

Good food and a Great Experience! - My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed this Brunch/Harbor Cruise. It was, sadly, a rainy day but there is full capacity indoor seating so not to worry, we stayed warm and dry. They way the tables are set up, you can see great from any one of them but we got a great table at the front of the boat. The ship's captain narrates all points of interest and though I practically live in Boston, I still gleaned some new details that I did not already know about some of them. The crew was friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. There was MORE than enough food for everyone on board and I found the food to be fairly decent enough for a brunch cruise (I mean, it's not a 5 star resort, it's a BOAT) with plenty of variety of foods and everything was tasty and seemingly fresh. I will add that I bought my tickets through Viator last minute because I didn't want to miss out but there were plenty of tickets available at the dock and they were about half the price.

Fabulous Staff and Brunch - The breakfast brunch was amazing! And the staff was also superb. The 2 girls working the event were super kind and did everything they could to ensure a fabulous experience. Definitely a 10/10 experience! The only downside was it was a bit hard to hear the narration. But I know the guide was going to try to address it for future voyages.

Great crew but not for brunch - The ship and staff were great but wouldn’t do brunch again with them. Pastries and fruit were really good, but french toast and eggs were served under a heating lamp (basically freezing cold, not even luke-warm). Too bad because the food was flavorful. I just couldn’t l recommend unless they figure out a better system for a hot meal.

Quiet and Calm - Narration is limited. You are better off pulling out your Google map and searching the sites. The food was mediocre. Pancakes were flat and dry, French toast looked like regular toast with powdered sugar. Salad would have been nice except that they sprinkled blue cheese which is hard to remove. Tea, coffee or water were complementary and self serve. Smoked salmon was good, blueberry muffin good. Cinnamon rolls dry. Because it wasn’t crowded it was a calm experience. I noted that the Viator cost was at least $20 higher than buying at pier. Also Viator did not have senior discount which was also available at the pier. We took nice photos and it was a pleasant quiet afternoon.

Cold food - The food was cold although it was flavorful and there was no guidance on when to start eating. You could not hear the person talking to give the tour spot information.
