Traveler reviews
Boston Sunset Cruise
Excellent option for booking activities, tours. Easy and accurate communication with source. Frequent user.
Must do!
Had a wonderful time on the sunset cruise. Our narrator was fun and engaging. Absolutely loved the USS Constitution. The only downside was the snack bar. Only one attendant working for the entire ship so the line was insane. She was friendly and helpful, but definitely needed another set of hands. Also, more food options would have been nice, as potato chips and candy were the only snacks. Definitely not a deal breaker, but thought I would mention it in case anyone else was curious about snacks and drinks. Make sure to get in line early so you have a good seat!
good guide; average boat
Tour guide was exceptionally good; boat is getting a bit "tired" (could be refreshed). Wimpy bar
Lovely sunset tour including the sunset gun salutee at the USS Constitution.
Great view of Boston, Cambridge and Charlestown as the sun is going down with a great guide. Includes seeing the sunset gun salutee at the USS Constitution.
Sunset on the water
