Great experience for family or couples - Amazing view, brunch menu was delicious and the staff was very friendly and waited for my husband that was having issues with parking to take off. Very grateful they waited. My family and I had a great time!

Great Fall Tour of Boston Harbor - Extremely pleasant and laid back atmosphere. Very nice breakfast buffet with a variety of foods. Full bar, coffee and water were served. Great views of the harbor with a guided tour. Nice friendly crowd on board.

Good to get on the water on a fall day - We really enjoyed getting out on the water and looking around the harbor. It was a good fall day activity and we were happy that we did it. The staff was very good and being able to easily transition between outside and inside on the boat as it was a bit chilly. It was a touch pricey, and the food was so-so on average. The latter isn't that surprising ... the food has to be served on a boat after all. Overall, it was a fun activity and I am glad we did it.

The food was actually pretty good! - I was fully expecting it to be terrible. Drinks were decent too! Didn't point on USS Constitution or Bunker Hill or any good Fall Foliage Photo Ops though. Overall, calming ride and good experience.

Uncomfortable for Solo Traveler... - I decided to do this cruise, as I'd gone with my mom a couple of years back and it was a lot of fun. Since then, the system has changed and is geared more towards groups and couples. As a solo traveler, I am content and happy doing things alone - but this cruise was downright uncomfortable for me. Seating was assigned and the food was organized, buffet style, down the middle of the room. There was not enough brunch food for everyone, aside of the tremendous amount of sweet rolls, pastries, etc.. The weather was very cold and it wasn't a good day to go outside and wander or sit on the deck. Don't get me wrong, the boat is beautiful and sailing was smooth. The staff was very nice, attentive, and helpful. If you are part of a pair or group of friends, I'm certain the cruise is much more fun & enjoyable for you, and highly recommend it.

Quite a disappointment - If you have even the slightest amount of covid anxiety this is not for you. Firstly, the staff member who took our tickets when we entered was not wearing a mask and he did not wear one throughout the course of our time on the boat. Furthermore, the tables and chairs on the outside deck were not thoroughly cleaned and were not spaced apart from one another. There was no enforcement of mask wearing when people were out of their seats, and the line for brunch was not socially distanced. The women's bathroom was also filthy, though the men's was not as bad. Also, this is advertised as a Fall foliage cruise yet there is no foliage given that it is on the harbor. You do see a lot of container yards and apartment complexes so if that is your thing then you might like this. I will say that the food was decent and the drinks were very good. Would not recommend, especially not during covid.
