We went as a group on the 6pm cocoa cruise. There was a band playing holiday music, a hot cocoa bar, drinks and flatbreads to order. It Felt very kid-friendly and safe but also enjoyable for adults. There were many groups and families as well as couples out for a special night. The ride was smooth.
The staff were pleasant, upbeat, and accommodating. They even have a shout out for my sister’s engagement which was a nice personal touch.
My family was initially skeptical if they would enjoy a boat ride but the city view was so beautiful at night, the atmosphere indoors was cozy, and outside upstairs was refreshing (luckily warm for December).

Thank you Harbor Line Cruises

It was well worth the 40min line we stood in waiting to board. We got to know the people around us and it made the whole experience more fun, actually. There's a bar on the first floor as you enter - it won't be open, but go ahead and get in line; let your partner go up top and secure seats. The bar will open once the boat departs the dock. You'll thank me; we loved the pumpkin sam adams, but i'm sure it tasted better here than anywhere. The tour guide was interesting. Great way to spend the afternoon.

This is a fantastic thing to do whilst in Boston. The crew are great and welcoming and it was a pleasure to meet them; to watch the sunset over the sky line is spectacular. The drinks are very reasonable priced and you can bring your own picnic if you wished. I will definately return for another sail if I ever visit Boston in the future.

If you're looking for the ideal relaxing afternoon sailing in a real schooner, this is it. Great crew, wonderful views of the harbor, and the eerie silence of the sails when the motor shuts off. Small passenger list makes for a relaxed vibe. Drinks are served at a reasonable cost, and a really friendly crew. Leaves from the central harbor area right by the aquarium.

Two buddies and I had a few hours to burn before meeting a group of friends out for dinner in the seaport area, so we decided to start our evening by going on a 2 hour cruise of the harbor. The crew was very friendly and helpful - they always made sure we had drinks in our hands (free waters/sodas, $5 wine/beer), and made sure we were comfortable, and having a good time. We took some great pictures of the city, had a lot of good laughs, and had an overall great time. Thanks - would definitely recommend!

Boat was very clean, easy for people to sit and walk around.

Wow! Absolutely incredible and an absolute pleasure to be with Tim, Kerry, Will, and Brian. There was only 6 of us on the boat, and we had the run of it and it could not have been more perfect. It was a clear night, with a full moon, and a beautiful sunset. Once the motor was turned off and the sails took over it was absolutely incredible how peaceful Boston Harbor really was. This is an awesome date night, family outing, or even to enjoy solo and meet new people. I honestly cannot say enough and cannot wait to do it again!

We embarked on the 80 foot Adirondack III, a schooner that sails out of Rowes Wharf in Boston, on what turned out to be a perfect, sunny, warm summer night. Classic Harbor Line offers many different cruises around Boston Harbor; we chose the one which gives you the option of participating in a Harpoon beer tasting on board.

The crew was welcoming; we shoved off on time at 6:30 headed out into the harbor. As two of only 5 Harpoon tasting ticket holders, we were escorted to the back of the boat right in from of the captain where there we could sit on cushions on the side, soon one of the crew brought out a plate of cheese and crackers, then we were joined by our Harpoon host Conner. A young energetic guy, he seemed to love his job (and who wouldn’t). His knowledge about the company as well as all being able to rattle off a plethora of information on all the beers produced by the Boston based brewery was pretty impressive. Each of the 5 different brews (maybe 4oz. each) were brought out and served each with a new set of Brewery lore. Note, they also sell beer and wine upfront in the regular part of the cruise, of course I assume minus the Harpoon theatrics.

The views were amazing, when the captain shut off the engine and we were under full sail, the sound of warm breezes over the sails is something you have to experience to appreciate. Two hours into the trip the captain asked if anyone had any dinner reservations, since no one did, she said we'd do an extra 20 minutes as the wind and sunset were cooperating.

location: Rowes Wharf Boston (Classic Harbor Line 60 Rowes Wharf)

Cost : you can take the sunset cruise only for $55, the Harpoon tasting is an additional $16. The price of the Harpoon add on might seem a little stiff for some unless you consider the cost of a couple of beers in Boston with horderves, plus at the end Conner handed out tokens for a free tour/tasting at the Brewery itself ($5 value).. Parking at Rowes Wharf is $12, be sure and get your parking ticket validated when you stop by the Sunset Cruise desk to pick up your ticket. Bring a picnic dinner if you want, I saw some folks with take out from some local restaurants.

What an awesome experience! Did a 2 hour sunset cruise around Boston harbor on the Adirondack III. It's one of those things that as a Massachusetts native I thought I would never do. Like a New Yorker never going to the Statue of Liberty. But I had a friend come to town and it seemed like a nice touristy thing to do. It far exceeded my expectations! The crew was professional yet fun and the feeling of zipping on the water near the harbor islands was relaxing and invigorating at the same time. I would recommend this cruise for anyone who wants to cap off a day of sightseeing with a great time with great people!

My husband and I took the 2 Hour Afternoon Day Sail on the Adirondack III and had a great time. We didn't want it to end. It was so relaxing sailing in the waters of Boston Harbor and the surrounding islands. The captain and staff were very friendly and informative. We highly recommend it!
