A wonderful and unique experience - A truly lovely experience! Riding along the shoreline gave spectacular views. We went down to the point that the airplanes were flying above us which was super cool. We left the shore in daylight, floated through the golden hour of beautiful lighting, and returned to see the night view of the buildings. Always beautiful.
The staff were all warm and friendly. All the passengers seem to be in a very good mood and enjoying themselves. This was an awesome experience and I highly recommend it.

Mixed - The trip was good and very enjoyable. The seating was old, kitchen type chairs which were arranged around the walls of the enclosed deck facing inwards! The commentary sounded very good but we could not hear it as the other passengers were talking and laughing. It was too cold to stay outside for very long to escape their noise. Proper seating and requesting passengers to be quiet during the commentary would be much better

Meh - Nothing special. The highlight is seeing the Boston skyline after dark otherwise kind of boring. The ship is older and doesn't have very comfortable seating. The drinks are limited, pricy and in cans. Cash only. The tour wasn't very expensive so I guess it was OK.

Not worth the time and money - Waste of time and money. The narration was minimal, and we didn’t know what we were looking at 90% of the time. We expected more information throughout the cruise, and it was very disappointing. There were even two people who fell asleep because it was so boring. The skyline lit by the sunset, the airplanes, and cannon ball shot off the USS Consitution were the highlights, but we otherwise would not recommend this tour.

Too long - The beginning was very good seeing Boston lit up from the water but to be honest it was about a hour too long.
