Viewing Boston from the water - Despite some clouds and cool Boston weather, it was a great sail. The crew is fantastic. It’s great to see the harbor from the water and hear interesting historical stories. We met great people on board, and enjoyed having a drink while cutting through the beautiful waters.

Great experience! - To be clear… this is NOT a guided tour; this is an experience. It gives you the opportunity to be out in the harbor on a beautiful boat and see the city from a different perspective. It was a great experience and the crew of the boat were wonderful hosts and clearly very competent at sailing. Highly recommend.
