★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 381 reviews · 1h 30m · from $55

Boston Harbor sunset cruise with expert commentary, skyline views, and a USS Constitution cannon salute. 90 minutes from Long Wharf.

“Great commentary, Kevin shared a lot of information and made it entertaining. The boat was old and a little run down, but it was fine for the short tour we were on. More signage for where to line up and meet would have been helpful- there were guides standing there who helped but not much direction otherwise and everyone had to ask them where the line was. We learned a lot and enjoyed the evening despite the cloudy night.”
