Just Average

SeyedHassan_R, Sept 2023

Very average. Most crew members are polite, however one bad Apple …. For $20+/- can get a nicer yacht and probably better service. However it was not too busy and that is a plus.

Response from Host, Sept 2023

Stephen_C, Aug 2023

The boat was clean, and the staff was attentive. The brunch was better than expected. We loved the smoked salmon and bagels best! This was a fun two-hour adventure! We highly recommend this tour.

Great experience and memory to be experienced again

Kyle_M, Aug 2023

Upper deck was very enjoyable sights and environment. Positive experience with a family of 4 with age 7-9 kids. Thank you to the captain and crew who made this available to us.

Enjoyable for couples and kids

Fabulous brunch, great views, and a very pleasant 2-hr trip. It was a great way to spend a summer afternoon with family and kids.

Buffet cruise - brunch

Margaret_r, July 2023

The buffet was extensive and was delicious. The captain was informative and his voice was pleasant and friendly. The cruise was smooth. The only negative comment I would make was the music, the trac was not soothing or familiar.

Brunch Cruise

James_N, July 2023

Relaxing cruise on the harbor with some history of the islands in the Boston waters. Decent food too!

OK brunch

Rita_S, July 2023

It was an okay experience, but not as much as fun as before. The food was ok, and it was really nice that it wasn't crowded, but there needed to be something more - music, more information about the area - something.

The brunch was very...

Darrah_R, July 2023

The brunch was very lovely but our favorite part was getting outside on the deck, seeing the sights and enjoying the beautiful day.

Relaxing and Enjoyable

joanne1956, July 2023

Nice, relaxing two hours. The staff was friendly and the captain was knowledgeable, but didn’t overdo the speaking. The food was basic and not many choices, but was good for the length of the trip. My granddaughter and I really enjoyed it. The captain even let her take the helm for a couple of minutes. Unfortunately, the Canadian Wildfires left everything hazy. Overall, great time.

Amazing time with the family

The dining room was beautiful, much nicer than expected. The crew were perfectly attentive. The food was simple and done very well including fruit, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries, tons of pastry. Highly recommend

a nice cruise

ShirleyHan, June 2023

Well, i booked this tour for me, my mother and her friend from seattle. People were celebrating birthday, they were kind of noisy. So we can't really hear about what they said in the microphone very clearly. So, my mom's friend feel like for the buffet brunch, there are plenty of fresh fruits, fresh smoked salmon...but hot food, sauteed potato, scrambled egg, and sausage/bacon is not enough. By 3rd round, all potatoes run out. But we have enjoyed it, the sight seeing of boston harbor is great. We saw several other islands, and USS Constuition ship and etc. Price is a bit sharp. Mom and her friend enjoyed sr discount $72.50. I paid $92.

Great boat brunch cruise
