Boston · BOSTON SUNSET & MOONLIGHT CRUISES
16 reviewed
The harbor saves its best light for the evening: amber towers, planes into Logan, the islands going gold. These 15 sunset and moonlight cruises are the ones to book, with which pour cocktails, which raise sails, how long you’re out, and the price of the easiest good evening in Boston.

“Activity was great! What a beautiful cruise. Our guide David Coffin was wonderful. We learned so much about Bostons history. Had us all laughing pretty much the entire time. He even stopped to talk to us and welcome us to Massachusetts (just moved from California). I’d do this over and over again. Witnessing the USS Constitution shoot off the cannon at sunset was the cherry on top. Worth the money spent.”
