Gorgeous boat and perfect sail, but the cocktail carrot is predatory. Make sure you read the fine line. Otherwise, beautiful voyage.

We had exactly 24 hours to see the wonderful city of Boston and we were so happy we booked the Northern Lights Sunset Cruise at 6:30pm. There was one later but I'm glad we went with the earlier one in the evening to see the sunset on the water. It was a really beautiful way to see the city. There was a bar downstairs with light snacks. It was a perfect way to start our only night in Boston and we were able to go to a nice dinner from there. The views were incredible. The tour guide part could've had more information or talked more about the city but they didn't say very much and that's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. More...

My wife and I took a sunset cruise of Boston harbor. It was overall, a pleasant experience. If you want to obtain a couch you will need to line up at least 15 minutes before they start boarding. The other seats are less comfortable. You can go upstairs and view the harbour from the outside and take great photos. The ship itself has a bit of a perfunctory look. It is not luxurious in and way and has scratches and a few random hanging wires. On the plus side I must give the company credit for having high enough ceilings as I'm very tall.There is not much in the way of a tour. They do occasionally narrate a few key points such as the USS Constitution and the firing of a cannon on another ship. However this is such a missed opportunity as there is so much history that they could discuss. And a lot of the cruise is repetitive, going up and down the same channel more than once.I wish they ventured past Castle Island, Winthrop, Moon Island, and Long Island, and gave a full narrated tour. You can purchase alcohol, cheese plates, potato chips, and grilled cheese sandwiches. They ran out of cheese plates when we were there so bring your own food if you are hungry, something they allow you to do. I wish though they served more food. If you are looking for an intimate cruise where you can whisper sweet romantic nothings in your partner's ears then the lack of a narrated tour is feature not a bug. I saw a lot of cute couples aboard. Guys: this is a excellent place to impress a girl!I got the strong sense that it's much more "fun" when you've had a few drinks, and looking around almost everyone was drinking. Of course this is Boston where we drink more per capita than almost anywhere else in the US. I personally only drink occasionally so I probably had a different experience.It will not be very educational for a child, although much better than not going at all! If you know the history perhaps you can explain it them as you pass different locations. Sometimes if you Google around, you can find discount tickets! I did! There are beautiful (although expensive) restaurants nearby so you can have a cruise followed by a luxurious dinner or vice versa. Together it would make a fabulous date. There is a parking garage nearby that has a special weekend rate of "only" $18. It is also close to South Station. There is a lot of nightlife nearby. More...

My girlfriend and I set sail on the Adirondack III for the 1-3p tour. Aside from it being a perfect day weather wise, the staff, crew, and amenities were all great! For starters, the ticketing office was helpful and, since we were flying out shortly after, they let us store two carry-on bags in their office. We arrived 10-15 before departure which allowed us to choose any spot on board. We sat to the rear of the vessel which had cushioned seats and easy access to the bathrooms. The captain and crew were very friendly, personable and knowledgeable. We both really enjoyed ourselves and the trip was well worth the price. Thanks again Classic Harbor Line for a memorable exper More...

This was a fun way to see the Boston harbor.  The yacht is nice downstairs.  There are couches,  comfy chairs, tables and air conditioning.  The upstairs is more casual.  Tables and chairs are covered by an awning and couches are around the outside. We got great pictures of the harbor. As a tip to those who might be susceptible to sea sickness,  the boat did move a bit. We brought dramamine and that helped. More...

We went on the Sunday cruise aboard Adirondack lll. Sailing vessel Adirondack lll is an amazing ship with all four of her sails catching the wind. The captain and crew made sailing her look effortless. Sailing around The Boston Harbor Islands is an experience that everyone should enjoy while they are in Boston. The attitude of everyone at Classic Harbor Lines made this an amazing experience. I would highly recommend. More...

Took the Classic Day Sail Aboard Adirondack III as a way to show my parents around Boston when they visited. The two-hour sail was just long enough, and was a lovely trip around the harbor. The crew clearly knows what they're doing, and Captain Sean was friendly and informative! Definitely grab the tickets on GoldStar for a discount, and keep your eye on the weather report. They have blankets if you get chilly! More...

I planned my husband's surprise 50th birthday for a Sunday afternoon charter of Northern Lights.  The planning was pretty seamless as I dealt with Susan, who was responsive via email and accessible via phone.  She offered great advice on the menu, the open bar vs consumption bar and how to best plan the surprise element.  On the day of the event, my husband and I arrived at the ticket booth a few minutes after our guests had arrived.  We proceeded down the ramps and were greeted by attentive staff who helped keep the element of surprise.  We arrived onto the lovely yacht to the calls of surprise from our guests.  We spent 3 hours in the Harbor and along the Mystic River, dining on the fare provided and enjoying beverages from the polite waitstaff.  Our guests enjoyed themselves immensely, and the birthday boy had a fantastic day!  Thanks Classic Harbor Lines for making an important day run so smoothly!

I booked the Northern Lights cruise in Boston Harbor on Groupon for my birthday weekend. I really wanted to do a night-lights cruise and the Ghost and Graveyards Trolley, but only had three nights. I was staying in East Windsor, CT because I was going to Six Flags, New England the next day on my birthday. This meant, after driving 8 hours from Ontario, I would have to drive an hour and 45 to Boston to do the cruise the first night. I did so, and it was totally worth the extra drive there and back to the hotel. The cruise leaves from the dock close to the aquarium. It was easy to find and I found a parking garage quite close for $8. The walk wasn't bad and the streets were well-lit. I felt safe the entire time. There were already people waiting at the dock, and I found them when a waiter from the restaurant there pointed out the departure point. You need to go inside the office off to the left to get your boarding pass, but the whole experience was really easy. There were some other couples on the boat, so it was a quiet cruise, which was very nice. After all the driving, I really needed to relax, and this cruise did the trick.There is a full bar on board, so I got a tequila and soda and headed up to the top deck. There is seating both inside and outside with plenty of places to sit. There were two sectional-type sofas on the upper deck, but those were only occupied. Unfortunately, those are the only two soft places to sit. But I didn't find the hard chair too uncomfortable. The boat pulled out from the dock and we cruised slowly around the harbor and out where we could see the suspension bridge all lit up. They played soft music for the entire hour, which was really nice. It had been a very hot day, and I was surprised by how cold the air was out on the water. I did see the waiters bringing blankets to people, but I did bring my jacket, so I was fine. There are ships sitting on the water strung with lights and older vessels that reminded me of pirate ships. Literally, everywhere you look there are lights. The way they shine across the water is so beautiful. There were even fireworks off in the distance. I really enjoyed this cruise. The crew was so nice and the experience so peaceful and filled with beauty. Perfect way to kick off a birthday weekend. All the amazing things I did in Boston have me planning a return trip there for my birthday next year, and this was definitely one of the deciding factors! Highly recommended. More...

We did the sunset sail and it was a beautiful night. The sail boat was intimate but there was still enough space for all the passengers to be comfortable. There are no real seats like there might be on the cruise ships, you're just sitting on any flat surfaces on the sailboat which was pretty cool. The crew was welcoming, informative, and efficient. The sail was 2 hours long and we could have stayed out forever but it was pretty chilly so everyone was ok with docking when we did. More...
