About this activity

Experience a beautiful Boston Harbor sunset sail on the water and see some of the city's waterfront landmarks as the sun dips below the horizon.

Both sailboats are classically styled schooners and offer a smooth and gentle sailing experience as well as top-notch customer service by our captain and crew. Within minutes of leaving the dock, you'll forget the distractions of life on land, as you experience the ambiance of a sunset sailing cruise aboard a beautiful sailboat.
