- averyr2340 contributionsHighly recommend, even in the winter!We had an amazing time on this boat ride - we went in winter and were expecting it to be super chilly but it was nice to have an indoor area to relax in the warmth! The experience was beautiful.Written 18 November 2024
- M7335XUmeganm0 contributionsGreat cruise!This is the second time we've done this sunset cruise. It's a must do if you're visiting Boston. Amazing views and a warm inside.Written 18 November 2024
- fortunatem19800 contributionsBeautifulThe hospitality from the team was first class! The cruise was informative and the views were amazing from the water. Must do activityWritten 17 November 2024
- 75kimberlyu0 contributionsMehThis wasn't worth the trip. The food was just ok and definitely not great. The foliage had not changed yet in Boston which isn't the company's fault, but it made for a very boring trip. Luckily it isn't very long. The boat is comfortable and the staff are very helpful. it was rainy and cold, but the boat was comfortably warmed. Kids were disruptive and both parents and staff did nothing about it.Written 8 November 2024
- M3433PVrachelw0 contributionsToo Beautiful to Miss Out OnThe views were fantastic and getting a full scope of the Boston scene from day to sunset to early evening was beautiful. Be ready to take a video of the sunset-timed cannon!Written 30 October 2024
- Jason L0 contributionsDisappointed! A Halloween party with no Halloween decor.Disappointed! How come a Halloween Party with not even ONE Halloween decoration????!!! NONE AT ALL!!! And poor Lighting!!Written 26 October 2024
- M7357JWpaulam0 contributionsRelaxing way to end our anniversary weekend, visiting from S.C.The sunset harbor tour was one of our better experiences with these types of things. The staff and jazz trio were wonderful as were the beverages and snacks. The 2-hours around the harbor was beautiful and very relaxing. We were expecting at least some dialogue over the speaker in the beginning as to what we were seeing as that was advertised but didn't happen. Some of the guests and staff were able to answer our questions though. What was not advertised was the detail that included there would be a band, food and beverages. I would highly recommend that more detail be included in the description so that first time visitors would know more of what to expect. Many around us ate dinner before, not knowing there would be food options. Overall I would recommend the trip if you are looking for a nice relaxing evening with beautiful views from the water.Written 22 October 2024
- J4614HBvictoriag0 contributionsPleasant surprise on a lovely October dayVery pleasant surprise. Food was excellent (for cruises). Drinks were extra but $9 for a wine was reasonable. Loved the furniture in the boat too, very nice looking. Overall a pleasant experience. Not much foliage as never got that close to the shores but it’s ok!Written 21 October 2024
- njzn0 contributionsBeautiful SunsetWe took this tour with 12 family members. It was a great way to see the Boston skyline at sunset as well as the surrounding towns and learn a little bit of Boston history. Tour offers drinks and snacky food. Staff was friendly and very helpful.Written 15 October 2024

This was a fantastic and very special holiday activity.
The setting was elegant and atmosphere was festive. This is not a large boat, so it is very intimate. You do not feel like just a number. Terrific jazz band that did a lovely combination of holiday classics. We preordered champagne and cheese plates. They were beautifully set up at our table when we arrived. Each table had a decorative berry arrangement, so all tables looked lovely and inviting. There was not a bad table on this boat. There is one smaller table that is a short level above the main floor, opposite the bar. My husband questioned it, but I pointed out that the bar being so festive and the table being a bit higher than the others gave it a sense of privacy, as well as a nice view of the whole boat. He agreed.
Lastly, the crew was incredible. Nothing was too much to ask and we observed that all were made to feel welcome.
And! The cocoa was delicious. I can't believe I had two cups of it. Time for a diet!
We purchased our tickets directly through Classic Harbor Line.

My cousin and I had our cruise changed to cocoa and carols and it was lots of fun. The singer and musician were fantastic. Weather was perfect although it was pretty windy out. Cocoa was delicious. All in all this is a fun activity to do with a loved one.Great way to end my Boston trip, I’ll definitely be doing this again when I come back.

My wife and I recently took the 6:00 pm cruise. Great experience--relaxing, warm surroundings with band inside, great views on upper deck outside. Well worth the cost. Highly recommended.

Not sure. But it's definitely child-friendly--several families were on our cruise.
