Boston Harbor Cruise: USS Constitution & Waterfront Yacht Tour
Boston Harbor Cruise: USS Constitution & Waterfront Yacht Tour★★★★★★★★★★ 4.75 (12)1h 30mYou board at the Ferry Terminal, settle into comfortable seating on a restored 1920s-style yacht, and spend 1.5 hours cruising Boston Harbor. The daytime option includes live narration from a local guide pointing out the USS Constitution, Bunker Hill Monument, and historic waterfront neighborhoods; the sunset cruise skips the narration and ends with cannon fire at dusk. Either way, you get unobstructed water views and a break from the city's pace, with no need to arrange your own transport or figure out which landmarks matter.Is it for me?Pick this if you want to see Boston's waterfront landmarks without renting a boat or navigating the harbor yourself—the fixed route and included narration (on the daytime cruise) mean you get context and views in a single afternoon or evening, and the small-boat intimacy beats the larger harbor tour crowds.Free cancellationKids −17%fromUS$ 51View ›
Boston Harbor Private Sunset Cruise on Yacht Trinacria
Boston Harbor Private Sunset Cruise on Yacht Trinacria★★★★★★★★★★ 5.00 (1)2hA private sunset cruise on Boston Harbor aboard Yacht Trinacria carries only your group and the crew on a 10 to 12 mile loop past the skyline, Logan Airport, Charlestown, the Seaport and East Boston. Water and soft drinks are provided; you're welcome to bring your own food and beverages. The boat travels at a slow pace, giving you time to photograph the bridges and architecture as the sun sets. Departure times shift with the season to catch sunset, and the cruise ends 30 minutes after sunset in August and September.Is it for me?Book this if you want the sunset and the skyline to yourself — the private boat means no crowd between you and the view, and the slow pace gives you time to actually frame the shots instead of watching the moment pass.Instant confirmationfrom · per groupUS$ 1,200View ›
