Codzilla Boat ride - Good fun, quite physical bouncing over the waves. Choose where you sit as to how wet you’ll get! If time is tight, it’s a quicker way at 40 minutes to see some of the harbour and the skyline rather than a 2 hr boat tour.

My teen loved this!! What a great idea on a warm day. - My teen loved this!! We don't own a boat, so it was exciting to be on the water at all, especially on a speedboat that purposely makes silly turns to spray us. We didn't get as wet as I expected, but I definitely tasted salt water on my face at times. Did not want or need a poncho, and it was all good without it. All staff were very friendly and engaging. Happy fun atmosphere. I was able to bring my backpack on the boat - I kept it steady on the floor by my feet. There is also a communal locked bin for anything you don't want to bring on boat. It looked secure enough, but I worry too much. It was noisy between the wind and the boat motor. My younger child with sensory issues wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. Out of all the random things we did in Boston today, my 15-year-old said this was her favorite in this 88 degree sunny day.

One of the most fun things to do in Boston - Codzilla is a family tradition. I’ve taken my nephews every summer for the last ten years. Usually we go in August, but this year we did June. It is a blast! Yes, it’s pricey. But it is worth it. The ride itself might be an hour all together. Maybe half of the ride is spent in the high speed zone. The other half is a more traditional boat ride getting out of the wake zone and then back to the dock. If you can, I would recommend going later in the summer. The water was still pretty cold in June. Also, wear the plastic ponchos! Otherwise you will be soaked. Finally, my nephew is 6 and I think it was a bit too much for him at that age.

Codzilla got us - The experience would’ve been wonderful minus the fact that we got hit by a sleet/rainstorm and the driver must not have understood that rain hurts when you’re going as fast as he was I ended up having to go to the hospital due to the weather conditions and the rain hitting my skin. It left welts and bruises. Definitely experience to remember I will check the weather before I try this again. The girl that was hosting upfront. She was absolutely amazing. Long story short check the weather before you enjoy this fast boat ride.
