Massachusetts Bay Lines

Nice cruise on the Howl-O-Ween Doggy Costume Party 10/19/2025. Excellent narration of the sights and history as we cruised around Boston harbor and up to the Mystic River, under the Tobin Bridge. The dogs were all well behaved and are a great icebreaker to start a conversation with your fellow passengers. Rest room was clean.

Took a romantic sunset harbor cruise on a Saturday. Fortunately the weather was perfect and we sat on the uncovered part of the top deck. Close by is a covered cash bar and there is a completely enclosed lower deck. The cruise lasted 90 minutes and took one loop well within the harbor. There was some narration of points of interest but it was not loud enough to hear. Strongly recommend it if the weather is in your favor. Bring the kids and the grandparents but not the dog. Dress is casual.

It was pretty great! The tour was great we got to take pictures learn about some historic facts about Boston that I personally never knew, and most of all the great sunset! Oh my what a great sunset it was truly everything was great! The only thing that I will say to improve on is when the person who speaks through the microphone, you barely can hear him but it’s most likely because of how much people were talking I couldn’t really hear that much but all in all it was a pretty great tour! There’s also a cafe and a snack bar and I think it was only cash but if you don’t have cash and don’t have a card don’t worry! They have a atm right when you walk into the boat! And also if it is your first time going just like I have the ticket registration is right next to gate C to the left, which I didn’t know until last second! Hope this review helps first timers and just the overall experience that will see if you want to give it a try!

Loved our evening on the water, all staff were friendly and helpful. Ride was comfortable with great views. We sailed in a thunderstorm but enjoyed every min. Only negative was we couldn't hear the person "narrating" describing what we saw. Was quiet and muffled where we were sitting

Sunset Cruise - Weather was bad so the cruise was delayed for 30 minutes but then we went. Plenty of opportunities for sunset pictures. While there are seats available, most people were standing to be able to take pictures. It was difficult to hear the tour guide from inside the ship, you needed to be outside on deck to hear.

The sunset cruise was amazing! It was a cloudy day but somehow the sun came out enough to create a decent sunset but even without the sunset it was a great experience. Seeing the city of Boston lit up at night was amazing. The cruise was the most affordable tour on my trip and definitely worth the price.

The views from the boat and the information provided by the commentator were pleasant but the interior of the boat itself was not comfortable nor enjoyable. The chairs were rusty with cracked cushions and set up in a random fashion blocking most of the viewing windows. It looked run down and not well maintained. The bathrooms were clean though and the staff were nice. It just has the potential to be so much better for the cost.
