Enjoy a relaxing sunset cruise in Boston Harbor which heads out to Fort Independence located on Castle Island and named after George Washington. Then take in views along Boston's waterfront such as the Mystic Tobin Bridge, Leonard Zakim Bridge, Custom House Tower, Old North church steeple, USS Cassin Young, and the USS Constitution.  An extra special feature on this cruise is the cannon fire at Sunset, which is presented off the USS Constitution every night to announce the setting of the sun.

A maximum of 12 guests are permitted per booking. There may be up to 140 guests onboard

Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age for passengers on the Boston Harbor Sunset Cruise?

A: There's no strict age limit for the cruise, but it’s generally suitable for all ages. Just keep in mind that the cruise may not be super engaging for really young kids since the commentary is light. If you’re bringing children, I’d recommend older ones who can appreciate the sights! Also, it's a good idea to have a life jacket for smaller kids if they don’t know how to swim.

Q: What should I wear on the Boston Harbor Sunset Cruise?

A: Dress in layers! It can get chilly on the water, especially as the sun sets. I'd suggest a light jacket or sweater, and comfortable shoes since you'll be walking around the deck. Definitely check the weather that day too, just in case! And maybe avoid white if you’re prone to spills, since it’s a cruise.

Q: How crowded does the Boston Harbor Sunset Cruise typically get?

A: Since this cruise allows up to 140 guests, it can feel a bit crowded, especially at popular times. However, it's usually well-managed, and you can find a spot to enjoy the views. If you want a more intimate experience, you might want to consider booking earlier in the day or on a weekday. Just keep in mind that seating is first come, first serve, so getting there a bit early helps.

Thinking about gifting the Boston Harbor Sunset Cruise—thoughts?

I’m considering the Boston Harbor Sunset Cruise for my parents' anniversary. They love being on the water and the idea of a sunset sounds perfect! I read that there’s some commentary about the landmarks, but is it worth it? Also, how's the view from the boat? Should I get them some snacks for the trip?

Just booked the Boston Harbor Sunset Cruise! Any tips?

I just bought tickets for the Boston Harbor Sunset Cruise for my friend's birthday! It's supposed to be a beautiful experience with that cannon fire at sunset too! I’m curious about the best spots to grab a great view on the boat. Any tips?
