The City Cruise was the first thing I did when I arrived in Boston, and it was great to learn a simple foundation of Boston history! The views were spectacular as well. - Will Carter
I chartered the Boston Elite last night for a private event, group of 50, and it was an absolutely top notch experience. The service was impeccable - from the booking experience to the on-board crew - everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. My group couldn’t say enough amazing things about our cruise. Special shout out to Grace and Ashley for their incredible work for making our outing a huge success! - Lindsay Guest
An amazing cruise of Boston! We did the Sunset Dinner Cruise! We arrived at 6PM, boat docked at a little after 7PM and arrived back around 10PM. Buffet Style for dinner & desserts, the food was good. The views of Boston was worth it! There were two dance floors with good music!! The staff was super friendly and everyone seemed to love being at work!! - Jenny Love
