Best Boat Tours Boston Near Me

Brent Langrehr: Very informative tour that allowed me to see another aspect of the city that you can’t appreciate from just the land side.

Sinclair Stolle: Great informative tour of the harbor. Kevin was a superb guide, even when it started pouring rain.

Martin Seibert: David's live narrated tour was absolutely phenomenal, and the sole reason I'm writing this review. Initially, I had reservations that the tour might be dull, given the foggy and hostile weather conditions. However, David's captivating narration transformed what could have been a boring boat tour into a truly unforgettable experience. It was an absolute feast for the senses, and I'm incredibly grateful for David's skillful and engaging tour. Thank you so much, David!

Rodney Gates: I have gone Twice and both times it was great. 45 for a sunset cruise and a good time to just chill and see the city at night. Also Cannon Fire!

Rasha Waheed, M.D.: It cost 20 dollars but staff are nice

Andrew Cortez: A good way to see Boston from a different angle. Took the harbor cruise, it's an hour trip. The guide was informed, entertaining, and friendly,. It's a little pricey for a short trip, but if the weather's nice makes for a unique experience

Ralph josue Celestin: Great

Elizabeth Hook: Couldn't attend the Easter cruise because my Dad has covid and I couldn't even transfer my tickets. Was not expecting a refund (by any means) but considering the circumstance, I was expecting to be able to transfer the tickets after spending $200+ dollars. The gentlemen I spoke with on the phone tried his best to make an exception but needed the owner/ management's approval to override it. He tried and was told no. Sad when companies show they only care about $$$$. I was disappointed enough not being able to go since my Dad is sick but this just added to it. Would have been nice to enjoy the cruise on another night but looks like that won't be happening.

Seb T: Took the Historic Harbour Cruise on a sunny but windy and chilly afternoon.The best guide ever (don’t remember his name but check the picture). He really knows his stuff, never stopped talking, very interesting, good anecdotes and jokes. Short one hour tour was perfect for us. Definitely a must do in Boston.

Tijin Thomas: Really good cruise. The guide explained the history of boston and it was really worth it.

nancy bilodeau: Awesome

Diane Payton: IT'S TERRIBLE THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO GET A THRILL IN CRUISES, especially speed boats THAT HAVE A VERY, VERY NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR WILDLIFE... DEAD WHALES and more BEACHING ETC.!!!!!!!!

Jaylin Cuco: My boyfriend and I visited Boston a few weeks ago with hopes of indulging in sites and history. This tour was the perfect combination of both. The guide was thorough in his stories and explanations of the landmarks we saw. It was informative, interesting and had a side of humour to it. Although we have seen it once, I would have no problem going back again.

N K: While it’s not the most scenic river cruise, the crew was very helpful and the narrator was very informative, enthusiastic and entertaining.They have bothrooms and a bar on board.

Sumo Fury: Excellent tour

james jones: I’m

Madison Burns: AMAZING CRUISE! Perfect thing to do when visiting and in any season because you can be outside or indoors for the cruise! You can purchase drinks and snacks as well. Liz was the most amazing guide, she had so much history and knowledge and I learned a lot about Boston! Would highly recommend with the City Pass. My boyfriend thought the staff member had a great beard as well. Check it out for an all around great experience!!!

Snehal Maskare: Amazing experience! Great guides! Groupon has good deals on the tickets! We loved it!

Emily Yolo: Took the Harbor cruise. Very informative with a charismatic narrator. Smooth ride too.

Larry “RavenHiker”: Great website layout easy to navigate

Pete Lantz: I took my daughter in December and we had a phenomenal time. I'm 47 and learned a lot about the harbor I hadn't known before even though we live close by. All the staff were friendly, and the bartender was great. I'll be back for another during warmer weather with more of the family.

Erosbooth LLC: We highly recommend Classic Harbor Line Boston. We had a blast providing our DJ and Photobooth services for their New Year’s Eve party. - Erosbooth

Roger Carson: Took the Sunday brunch cruise on the Northern lights. Nice cruise, the food was okay.

Magic Fairy: We went on a beautiful sail boat! Real nice crew and great ride and learned alot abot the islands and bay!

Lindsey Gravel: Overall really good experience, would highly recommend. Only issue was we had a family completely invade our space, super loud, kids running around constantly, climbing on tables, pulling on my hair, talking loudly and breathing down our necks. Don't think a single employee spoke with them. Aside from that everything was great

Charlie Creech: Took a really nice brunch cruise. Food was good and weather was perfect for the occasion.

Jen Smith: Nice sunset cruise. Favorite part was the U.S.S. Constitution signaling sunset with their cannon. Really nice way to see the Boston coastline and informative of things we were seeing.

Christopher Gilmour: I went on the fall foliage brunch cruise this weekend. It was terrible, the breakfast was basically just a hotel breakfast complete with dry powdered eggs and the tour part of it gave very little information. Mainly he told you the names of islands but not much history or back story. I was very disappointed.

Melissa Pappas: The Sunset cruise on the Adirondack III was the highlight of our trip in Boston. They served a variety of alcoholic beverages over the 90 minutes that seemed to stretch for a perfect amount of time sailing in the harbor. The captain even let us take photos steering the boat. You will not be disappointed with this activity. Perfect for a date night or girls drinks before dinner.

Tom Gori: Food and drinks were good. Boat is older but well maintained.

Justin Millar: Great way to go between the airport and the city for a few hours during a layover, they even store your luggage securely behind a locked door while you go about the city!

Bruce Payne: We took the Sunset Cruise last night and couldn't recommend it more. You get the best of both worlds on this trip. You can see everything you want in daylight but then you get the incredible site of the city lit up at night after the sun goes down. All sorts of great photo opportunities like Ft. Independence and Old Ironsides but the real star of the show is the city when the sun goes down.

DeeDee Payne: Went on the sunset harbor cruise and it was a beautiful view of the city. Would recommend to anyone visiting this beautiful city.

Angela Kelly: Great sunset, dinner cruise. Staff was very friendly, food was awesome. Great night on the water to watch the sunset. Highly recommend.

Krisztina Horváth: Sunset sail is highly recommended

OLiVIA STRONG: The Caribbean carnival boat ride was very fun and interesting.

Laura A: Fun time amazing crew!!!

Fred Langa: Pleasant, brief, once-around-the-harbor cruise. Friendly crew; fun to see them in action as they worked the sails. Good choice for a date night, especially if you're from the Boston area.But because it's not your standard narrated sightseeing cruise, it's probably not the best way for tourists to first see the city from the sea. For that, I'd recommend any one of the many daylight powerboat tours of the harbor.

Melanie B: J’adore cette croisière !

Abdel Kiki: Very beautiful 😍

Joseph Kline: We booked a river cruise on the Lexington with a school group and the experience was absolutely wonderful! The staff was extremely friendly and easy to work with beginning with Georgina (in sales) and ending with all staff who made our evening wonderful. I really recommend this to any group looking to have a great time on a beautiful boat.

Ryan Drkulec: If you are looking to plan a fun event for a group in Boston, you must utilize the Charles Riverboat Company. There is no better way to enjoy the beauty of Boston with your friends and family than by cruising all around the coastline of the city on one of the beautiful boats rentable here. I recently had a date event with 60 people on board the "Lexington" boat and it was truly amazing. Dayna, and the rest of the team made planning the event very easy and stress-free and the execution on board was flawless. The two-story boat had more than enough space for dining and dancing. And the massive speaker on board, connectable by bluetooth, was very convenient to play our music at a loud volume. Every member of the crew was great as they handled all the responsibilities necessary for us to be able to just enjoy ourselves the whole night. The team is very flexible and accommodating, and also just great, fun people. I highly recommend that everyone interested reaches out and at least begins a dialogue with the team about planning your event, because they really make it so easy, and it is SO fun!

Santosh Verma: Excellent experience. We rented Henry Longfellow on April 15th for my wife's 50th birthday. Our event coordinator Macoy was easy to work with and was available to answer all our questions. She coordinated with the outside catering company to ensure they had everything they needed. Our bartender Carrie and captain Andus were great. With 25 people, the space was perfect. Parking was super easy and inexpensive in the CambridgeSide Mall. This was an ideal way to organize a private party in April in Massachusetts with incredible outdoor scenery and also protection from the elements.

Sel Sel: Good

Karen Osborn: We used the Charleston Riverboat Company for a regional alumni event, and they were fantastic! We were coordinating from out of state, and their communication and customer service was fantastic. The staff and crew were so attentive to everyone's needs, and our alumni had a really great time. Definitely recommend!

Tome Arte: Great moment! I wish had more time to enjoy!

Daisy Perez: This boat tour was exactly as promised and was such a relaxing and informative boat ride! Views and narrations were a great way to wrap up our Boston city tour. Highly recommend.

Joyce Takemori: Pleasant cruise. It was a bit late for full river colors but got an overview of the bridges of the Charles River and identified buildings along the Boston skyline.

MaryBeth Keith: This past weekend we chartered the Valiant for my sister's bridal shower. It was the perfect event and location! Charles Riverboat took care of most of the details (table linens, flowers, catering, sound system, etc.), so all we needed to do was bring some minor decorations on board and create our own playlist.Everything went smoothly, the guests all enjoyed themselves, and we were able to just enjoy the party! The price was extremely reasonable. I definitely recommend the Charles Riverboat Company for any private events you'd like to make special!

Ola Nosseir: I had such a wonderful time on the Riverboat. The crew was very kind and friendly and very knowledgeable of the area. When I visit Cambridge/Boston area again I will definitely take this cruise again! Thank you Charles Riverboat Company for an unforgettable, beautiful experience.

CJ Callahan: Outstanding way to see the fall foliage. We went on October 6th. We should've waited until the next weekend, as the colors were better then. This was a perfect day! It was 64 degrees and sunny, but we still needed a light jacket on the outside deck, so dress for that. All in all, this was better than the Boston Harbor Cruise, because the photo ops were so much closer.

Catherine dellechiaie: We had my granddaughters rehearsal dinner aboard the Longfellow boat it was amazing the crew was fun the music was great we really enjoyed it looking forward to another rehearsal dinner there

Jose Cordero: It was an awesome experience. I live in Boston and continue to find new fun things to do around the city. Staff was SUPER AWESOME as well.

Saktah Khan: Breathtaking view, great hospitality in the boat and at the ticket counter. Our guide was very knowledgeable and cracking up jokes - it was a fun experience. The boat trip gave off a meditative and relaxing experience. It was so quiet in the water, didn't know I needed it.

Samantha Smiley: Guide was very knowledgeable and funny, was a great experience with visiting family even after living in the area for several years learned lots of fun facts!

Muhammad Haris Jamil: A nice 70 minute guided boat ride tour for $24 per person. Has a bar on board too..

Menachem Altein: We had a great experience! We booked for a private cruise on the charles for a college club. Extremely accommodating and very clear communication. The crew on the boat were fantastic. Definitely plan to do it again and would definitely recommend without a doubt.

Mario Rios: Best way to see the city. Do it with blue skies! Excellent!

Emily Bacall: What a wonderful evening we had on the Valient. A beautiful ship, impeccably maintained. The staff was so helpful and right on top of everything — it was a seamless evening. The food and servers were amazing, the bar and its tenders equally so. Special thanks to Cecily Cushman for all her help with planning and execution of a perfect event. Can’t say enough good things about this company.

Shashank Mishra: Amazing. Must to visit.

Jennifer Lindsey: Celebrated my birthday here. Top notch service chose the sunset dinner cruise in Boston. A night to remember🥀🥂

Mike Peterson: Not a well run cruise. They shut down the bar 10min into the cruise, as supposedly there was at least 1 person without an ID (what's the point of a wristband if everyone has to be 21 to have the bar open?). The staff was rude and word, patting down someone and following everyone around on the ship. Then, they couldn't even validate my parking.

Kellen S: Went on a group cruise specifically advertised as having a cash bar, was carded and given a bracelet while boarding and immediately before departure (and AFTER already serving a few people) they shut the bar down for the entire cruise because there were some underage guests. When asked what the point of carding us and giving us bracelets was, they said they "can't check every person buying drinks." Ridiculous.

Dan Arsenault: My son and his girlfriend were in town, so I purchased these for them, and they loved it!

Mark D: Paid 1000 for a cruise on New Year’s Eve. The food was terrible. Even though the food was terrible I was very hungry. The service was atrocious. Went to the restroom to come back to find all my food gone. I just started eating. They said sorry nothing we can do about it. Excuse me I was still eating and now can’t eat anything. Drinks were extremely watered down. Paid for admirals lounge. Platinum package. Just to be told admirals lounge is closed. No refund offered. Never again. Don’t use the odyssey. It’s a complete waste of money

Shaun Jackson: Come take a tour

JC Rodriguez: Love it but i feel it was short. Narrator was amazing and funny. Was nice to be able to enjoy the tour and have a few beers. Very comfortable and roomy. At exit, all the crew is there to thank you, very nice touch.

Tara Gertel: I love City Cruises Boston Rowes Wharf

Terri Avery: Was awesome

Aaron Geister: Was very cool walk around the pier. The tour was very insightful.

John Moore: Great experience, pretty good food for not a lot of money. Check out the top deck.

Enrico Michael Severe: Sophonie made my experience on the Odyssey one of a kind. I brought my twin girls on board and she helped all of us feel at home. Amazing experience!

Jeniffer Castro: You get what you pay for. It was nice just wish they had some music and food. Snacks were cash only in today's age they should accept cards. Everything is old this boat has a lot of potential just needs a renovation.

B1ackeyez: It is a very chill area and codzilla was AWESOME

Stephanie Thomson (FANNIE): I was on the sunset cruise and the time on the water was well spent to see the different parts of the city made me more appreciative of my hometown Boston

Lindsay Guest: 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!

Edgar V: Too many old folks

John Kelly: Gteat informative narration.

Trevor Bishai: Terrible hospitality on board. The security staff harrassed our group and treated us heinously throughout the entire cruise. Once on the boat, we were sniffed out and swarmed like dogs before a man in plainclothes laid hand, seized us, and accused us of illicit acts. He then threatened to turn the entire boat around if we did not comply. We were guilty of no offence and had not broken any rules. Security guard Rob was especially disrespectful. Do not go on this boat if you don’t want to be surveilled and harrassed!

Dheren Singh: Fresh seafood, good views, relaxed atmosphere

Devan Kurr: My boyfriend proposed to me on this boat, it was the most beautiful experience I’ve ever had. The captain took great photos for us and was so kind. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND :)

Amanda Amell: We had an excellent time sailing around Boston Harbor for a couple hours. Everyone was great! Katie was wonderful to work with over the phone answering questions and making sure we found the dock. Captain Dave and Kim took care of us on the sailboat, made sure we were having fun and we’re great to visit with. We saw great views of the city and harbor. Will definitely return for another trip!

Allie Doyle: We had the most amazing night on our sailboat elopement on Captiva. Beautiful boat and Captain Dave was so helpful. It was a beautiful night all thanks to Classic Sail. Thank you!

ross e: It was super fun. Was very good convo and was accommodating for our party. Perfect for a small party and the boat was plenty big.

Greg Wehn: Captain Dave is the kind of guy that not only oozes knowledge of sailing, the route, and surroundings on your trip, but he also fit into to group seamlessly and doesn't feel like an outsider... and that makes it feel like you're on the water with a bunch of friends and one just happens to own a boat.First, we had to reschedule our trip from last year as I was hospitalized and unable to make the original trip. My wife contacted Dave and they refunded us initially without hesitation. These are not only professionals, but people with kind, large hearts. The policy could have easily taken our money but we were able to reschedule and not have to pay any additional fees or money given our extenuating circumstances.The boat is clean, well-kept, and the comms and instructions were passed along early and with plenty of detail to leave no room for misinterpretation. Payment and scheduling were easy (as my wife told me, at least) and expectations were set as to what was (and was not) provided in the cost.As far as the value and trip itself, it's money well spent. We've done dozens of chartered routes along the coasts as well as in the Caribbean when we travel. Captain Dave was easily in the top 3 in terms of overall experiences and how effortless the day felt. It wasn't too long or too short, and Dave made sure to capture plenty of moments and memories for us instead of all our photos missing one (or more) members of the group. We also got to stop at 2 of the islands and swim around for a bit at each of them before returning back to the docks.There were 6 people in our group and we had plenty of space for all of us, 3 backpack/YETI soft coolers, and about 4 bags of food/snacks. There is also a shaded area if you forget sunscreen and/or just need to get out of the wind or sun.If you're curious or wondering if you may enjoy an experience like this, my best advice to you is just book it and don't overthink it. It surpassed all my expectations and was a blast of a way to spent a hot, sunny Saturday in the summer. Given the other reviewers' experiences, it doesn't seem like anyone has had a bad experience with any of the captains either. If you have anywhere near the experience I did, you'd be okay with paying double what we did for the day... it's just that much fun.Thank you to everyone at Classic Sail for the kindness, understanding, and above all - the awesome product/experience. You've made a few new fans in the Boston area!!!

Jake Manseau: Amazing experience!

James Graydon: Great experience; we did a sunset sail and then watched the Winthrop fireworks. The views were amazing and the boat was great; just as importantly, David and Katie were knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend a sail with them for any occasion.

Danielle Flynn: What a fun day! Classic Sail Boston is fantastic. Easy to book, responsive and helpful with questions, and a great day of experience. We chartered the boat as a surprise to celebrate a 70th birthday and everything about the experience was pure perfection. Thank you for making such a special day absolutely wonderful. We cannot wait to come again!

Cynthia L: I have NOTHING negative to say! Professional and he accommodated my now fiancé accordingly. We were able to connect to his JBL to play music. David captured the proposal beautifully on video and took lovely pictures for us, which were all air dropped for our convenience. We sipped wine. We had privacy. He made great and wise suggestions. It was the perfect day and perfect sail on the harbor! David has a great sense of humor and was very friendly. My fiancé and I enjoyed it very much. FOUR thumbs up & 5 stars!

Maher-Schalal Senatus: Dave was very professional, courteous and provided top quality customer service. I strongly recommend his services especially if you are planning a surprise engagement proposal:)

Tim Carpenter: This was a truly wonderful experience. We’ve already done all the whale watching and big corporate boats. Getting out in the harbor with Captain David was more relaxing and thrilling than even we expected. The boat is a blast to be on and the atmosphere is worth every minute of the voyage (plus the Captain is very knowledgeable and even modified the trip for what we wanted to see). We strongly recommend this adventure, worth every penny plus a tip.

Anderson Wade: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ResponsivenessSuch a wonderful evening sailing with our friends and captain Dave! Would HIGHLY recommend for a trip in Boston! Next time we plan to do a half day excursion to island hop and swim!

Nancy T: Positive:ResponsivenessWe had a wonderful private charter with David! Highly recommend doing this if you are in Boston! Great way to see the city from the water. Super peaceful and beautiful!

Samantha Hallgren: Sailing aboard the Captiva was a highlight of our trip and possibly the year. The beauty of this classic sailboat along with the knowledge and expertise of the captain, David, are unparalleled to any other in the harbor. Our group had a fabulous time soaking in the sights of the city from the water and having the freedom to meander about the boat. The captain was happy to answer any questions we had about sailing but also allowed space for us to do as we pleased. This was the perfect classic sail experience and we can't recommend it more.

Val Brandenburg: Positive:Professionalism,Quality

Amy Noonan: Positive:QualitySuch a wonderful experience! We had such an amazing time aboard this beautiful boat. We saw Boston from a whole new perspective. Very spacious sailboat and an accommodating, knowledgeable, kind captain made for an incredible day!

Tiffany Koolakian: We had the best time today going out on Classic Sail Boston’s sailboat Captiva. I decided to book the charter for my husband and father-in-law for Father’s Day. As soon as we arrived on the boat, David immediately made us feel comfortable, gave us the history of the boat, and asked what we wanted to do during our charter. We had our 9 year old son with us. Dave included him in all aspects of manning the boat and answered his dozens of questions. Our son had the best time, and was super sad when our 4-hr charter ended. Overall, my entire family truly enjoyed the charter- truly a testament to Dave’s welcoming personality. We will definitely be booking again soon!

Elizabeth Felix: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ResponsivenessNot often you find professional and understanding people like the gentlemen at Classic Sail, the customer service is beyond a 5 star rating.

Thomas Gallegos: My wife arranged a 2 hour sail with Classic Sail for my birthday. It was a really great time. The captain (David) was friendly, casual, and informative, and let me have a hands on experience. The Captiva is a Chesapeake Skipjack. When the wind got up a bit the captain got us moving quickly and got the boat really leaning. It's a fun and memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Karriem Hasan: I will be there

Karen Disciullo Hernandez: We had an amazing night. Food was delicious! The chicken was so tender u could cut it with a fork. My husband and our friend absolutely loved the fish dish. They went up for seconds ! We couldn't have asked for a better night spend with good friends. The Dj was great and had many people up dancing. I cant wait to book again soon. Foggy night but still beautiful

scott singel: Food was nasty. Drinks were outrageously priced. Not much room to enjoy the outside. People are packed in elbow to elbow. No safety information conveyed. Spirit of Boston was a disappointment.

Daniel Cabada: If you go to Boston YOU NEED TO TAKE A CRUISE!!!!

Viktor Kostyshen: Super!!!

Mike Siu: It's a nice experience! The cruise was nice to be on, but the food lacked diversity. The overall experience was great!

Andres Montiel: I went to the VIP white party on Sunday September 4 and it was a disaster, they say in the webpage that it would be a White attire party and the dress code would ve strictest enforced and it wasn’t! The party should be until 1:00 am but we came back to the deck at 12:00 and the DJ stop the music at 12:20. People were fighting in the dance floor! It was a horrible experience… trying to get a refund but they haven’t take my calls or respond to my email.

Haitian Way: Spacious ship.

LuLu Jersey: Wonderful time with my crew on Spirit of Boston!!!

Steven Wang: Amazing view and good service onboard!

Mike Fay: Loved it!

Jim Haynie: Great time on the Seaport Elite!

Christopher Tavella: Great cruise. Very good food, impeccable staff, abs astounding views.

Larry Thompson: Went on the brunch cruise and had a terrible time. The cruise itself was okay the food was okay though there would be better options for the price. Now let's get to the terrible part they sat us next to a table of unruly guests they were talking and dropping f bombs every where I had people with me over 70. Then one of them proceeded to dance and crawl and grind the pole while little children where around. There was other bad behavior but to much to explain. The staff never intervened and let her continue this activity. I was very disappointed

DDC ROCKY: Great service

Jenny Love: 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!! The only thing I would change is probably if there could of been a different price for the kids and super high cost for drinks on this boat! However, we had such an amazing time! I celebrated my birthday which staff acknowledged so thank you!!!! I would go again and been recommending for others! This cruise is also kid friendly however we didn’t see all the games like we did in the video! I’ll still rate it a 5 because we still had the best time!

Phillip Marone: So fun amazing

Will Schwarz: Great narrated sunset cruise

charles njau: Nice rooms

James Toubia: Loved the experience. The food was good, the boat was nice and the view was breath taking!

Sarah D.: So much fun!

Phil Bascom: Great fun! Recommend the sunset cruise to also see the USS Constitution fire its Cannon.

Sophia Vanderbilt: This was the BEST part of my bachelorette week! We had so much fun everything went perfect.And the owner/manager was such a delightful sweet person!I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

B. Taylor: Celebrated a friend’s birthday in Boston that included a Saturday afternoon trip on the smaller 16 passenger Cycle boat. Captain Phillip was friendly and engaging with the passengers. First mate Nicholas was helpful and answered our questions. It was a fun time touring Boston harbor.

Kelsey Karimi: I’ve taken a Cycleboat charter twice and have had wonderful experiences both times! We were able bring our own drinks and snacks, which was awesome. We brought a cooler but each of the pedal seats had a personal cooler as well. We were also able to hook up our own music. Ed was our captain both times, (I believe he’s the owner) and he was great; made everyone feel welcome, went around chatting with everyone, asked if we wanted group photos. If you’re looking for a fun group activity in the city, I highly recommend these guys

Samhita Saquib: Fantastic service - I waited too long to buy tickets for my birthday and all of the cruises were sold out. I called to ask about alternative options, and Ed (our captain!!) made an extra time slot/public boat available for my group, and waited to publish it for the public until I had my final headcount! I REALLY appreciated it - had such a wonderful birthday!The cruise itself is so fun - it's BYOB so we were able to bring our own light-up cups on board. The views of the city are gorgeous. The breeze feels amazing! You can connect your own music. Pedaling really adds an element of fun to the ride. Ed was so kind/attentive during the entire cruise!100% recommend!

Caitlyn Ferreira: Update: the owner put the boat back into motion after getting me email. Will update after experience.Scheduled a networking event with a group on colleagues for a Wednesday at 12:30pm with 5 people. At 9:48PM the boat was cancelled due to “low enrollment.” I have people here from another parts of the state to get together as a group and now have no plans and cannot come up with something last minute for the group to do. This is extremely unprofessional and I am beyond disappointed.

Maggie Fleming: The boat ride was a blast and very affordable for a private charter with a group of friends. You can play your own music on their Bluetooth and BYOB. We would love to do it again with family. We did it at night. Would recommend doing it right at the end of sunset so you get the best of both worlds for photos! The owner was very accommodating with my group for scheduling us last minute for the late night ride. The summer fills up fast so book early.

Pat McElroy: Went there for stag for-my son and had a great 90 minute tour of the harbour. Got a private tour and a lot great information about the area. Bonus you can bring your booze and play your own music. Great staff very friendly!!! Would highly recommend to do this.

Kate Walako: So much fun and so worth it!!!

Daniel Bowen: Super fun boat tour around the Boston waterfront. Our captain, Ed, was tremendous, along with Rosie and the rest of the crew. We saw a whole bunch of sites up close. Great for any kind of occasion for both tourists and locals alike.

Molly-Kate Carven: this was SUCH a fun experience. We booked a private charter for a bachelorette party and had the best time! The crew was so kind and hospitable- offered many times to stop in certain locations to get group photos with the skyline in the back. 10/10 recommend and plan on booking again!

Gianna Corso: We had so much fun on a bachelorette party going on the cycleboat! The crew was awesome and encouraged everyone to have a good time. It was perfect to celebrate a bachelorette party good music, BYOB and beautiful views/photos… I would recommend the cycle boat Boston to anyone!

Brendan McDonald: Positive:Professionalism,QualityCharlie and Capt. Ed were a great crew! Highly recommend this for a nice night on the Boston Harbor!

Dana Lussier: Had the best time celebrating my birthday with Cycleboat Boston! They accommodated our large party and helped us fully enjoy our time out on the water. They have coolers, speakers a bathroom (on the larger boats) a lounge seating area and trash cans. We did the sunset tour and had beautiful views and amazing photos. Special thanks to Capt. Anderson!

Amira Henderson: Had a lovely time celebrating my best friends birthday! They made a point to let us know when we’d have the best spot for a group picture and were super chill/fun- the boat is not huge but they do a good job blending into the general atmosphere and not making things weird in such close quarters. There is no bathroom on the smaller boat so make sure to go beforehand or be mindful of drinking while you’re out to sea!(: There was a bell they’d ring every time we passed a boat or group of people and it added to the fun lighthearted atmosphere. Really great time, heavily recommend!

Caleb Osbourne: Positive:Value

Maddie M: We had a BLAST celebrating a 30th birthday with friends on a Cycleboat in Boston last week! From the moment we walked onto the boat the crew was wonderful - they clearly wanted us to enjoy ourselves and have fun! We made friends with the other passengers and enjoyed our drinks and the beautiful views. We’re already planning our next trip! Thanks Cycleboat!

Ashley Rose: Service:Private toursPositive:Professionalism,Punctuality,Quality

Sam: Positive:Professionalism,QualitySO FUN!!! They are the sweetest group of people leading it, we had a blastService:Private tours

Ben McGuire: Doing a duck tour was high on our list of things to do while in Boston. It was well worth it. We did the tour on a Saturday afternoon. Our tour guide was funny and knowledgeable. Our driver amazed me at his abilities to navigate the chaotic streets of Downtown. You go by a majority of the big historic sites. It was neat to go out on the Charles River and see the city from that vantage point. Highly recommend doing a tour.

thegreenacronym: The tour was a lot of fun, and we really enjoyed hearing about the history of the area. The tour is good for young children. We went on a rainy, chilly day, but the boat is enclosed, and we stayed warm and dry. The tour lasted 80 minutes.

Jose Detres: Fun experience, but not worth the price.

Sunshine Guru: Great tour. Our guide was so fun and entertaining and knew so much history. A little pricy, so I will likely not do it again. Punting tours in Europe go for 25 pounds/euros, so this is almost double the price. It's still a great experience.

Yoyo MA: It's funny while being historical. Kids love the opportunity to drive the duck on Charles River. Our host, almost educated Aaron was hilarious! Highly recommend the experience.

Fiona Herring: Really engaging tour of Boston with the added fun of a loop on the water.

Luis Lithgow: I found the tours to be bit pricey but it was really fun. However, I do wish our quirky and very funny tour guide knew a bit more of the history of Boston. There were a few folks and myself, who asked a few questions that he couldn’t answer. However, the staff were friendly and a very cool experience.

Melissa joy: Good information of the city

Marile Vazquez: The best city tour ever!

Kirsty Greenslade: The Boston Duck Tours was such a fun experience! We booked tickets online and arrived 15 mins before our allocated time. The staff and tour guides are fantastic and really enjoy interacting with everyone onboard! You get to see lots of landmarks around Boston on land and water. If you're visiting Boston for the first time I would recommend this tour, its entertaining for all the family.

Jewel Chalk: About all I can say is now I've been on a Boston duck boat.

Leif Engler: Tour guide was great. Tour was very informative

William Tx: Great place

Judge Whetten: Really fun and entertaining. Was honestly the best part of the trip.
