Overview

The 90-minute boat cruise on the 1920s-style yacht Northern Lights offers views of Boston Harbor from both an indoor salon and an outdoor upper deck. The route passes Boston's skyline, Old North Church, Bunker Hill Monument, USS Cassin Young, USS Constitution, and several Harbor Islands. Light snacks and drinks are available for purchase at the onboard bar. The captain provides moderate commentary on key sights throughout the trip, but this is not a fully narrated tour. Passengers can bring cameras to capture the views. The cruise circles some of the Inner Harbor Islands, including Spectacle Island, which was reshaped by Boston's Big Dig project. The boat also passes close to the USS Constitution and the USS Cassin Young, offering unique water views of these historic ships. Seating is available in the climate-controlled main cabin, and there is a covered upper deck as well as an open bow. Passengers should arrive 15 to 30 minutes early to check in and get boarding passes. A photo ID matching the reservation name is required. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and the minimum drinking age is 21. The cruise runs in all weather conditions, so appropriate clothing is recommended. Infant seats can be provided with advance notice. Only service animals are allowed onboard. Assistance for boarding should be requested ahead of time. Large group bookings are not allowed, and multiple bookings may be charged extra or cancelled by the operator.
