This 60-minute narrated boat tour travels through Boston’s inner and outer harbors, offering views of significant historical sites and waterfront areas. The cruise begins at the departure point where boarding is faster with skip-the-ticket-booth access. The boat passes Fort Independence, which served as a defense installation during the Civil War, World War I, and World War II. It then moves past the USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned naval warship still afloat, known as "Old Ironsides." Next, the tour highlights the Bunker Hill Monument, which marks the site of the Battle of Bunker Hill. The boat continues to Boston Light on Little Brewster Island, the first lighthouse established on the North American continent, operating since 1923. Throughout the hour-long trip, passengers can enjoy panoramic views of Boston’s skyline and waterfront while listening to narration about Revolutionary War events, local maritime stories, and the harbor’s environmental improvements. The tour ends back at the starting point. Food and drinks are available for purchase on board but are not included in the ticket price. The boat is wheelchair accessible, although restrooms are not. Boarding begins 15 minutes before departure, and late arrivals may miss the cruise. Infants require a ticket but ride free.
