Recent reviews in boston.

Howl E C, as Captain Darlene, is recommended for anyone wanting a personal tour of Boston Harbor with historical information about the life and times of living in the Harbor. The amenities were perfect! We were provided complimentary light snacks and a variety of drinks. Seagal was modern, clean, and luxurious. It was just perfect for us (a party of 4). I suggest using Captain Darlene and Seagal instead of any other group tour packages. The cost was reasonable and worth every penny!!

A Real Vibe On Boston Harbor! Rent the Regal Commodore 2760 Motor Yacht!

Robby was TERRIFIC. We took out our entire family on the boat, including my special needs adult brother. Robby was so patient and he kept reassuring Jorgie whenever we would hit a wake, or wave. Robby TRULY treated us like family and we could tell he is a nice person. We were having so much fun that Robby offered to extend our trip with a tour of downtown Boston by water at sunset. So many memories were made that day, literally priceless. It was a little cool the morning when we boarded the boat, but Robby had all of the clear plastic "isenglass" panels in place and it was very comfortable. When my elderly mother-in-law was a bit cold, Robby gave her a blanket! I literally cannot say enough good things about this day. The boat was VERY clean, including the bathroom. The interior seats were all brand new with cross diamond stitching and the boat appeared brand new. I would give him a 6 star review if I could and my wife and I are both Doctors, so we had high expectations. We have already planned another trip to Boston and we will DEFINITELY go out with Robby again.

If you're thinking about doing this YOU SHOULD!! This was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Great communication, very accomodating to requests, made the entire process seamless and treated my guests with great service!

Had a small celebration after our wedding - everything went very smooth, and Kevin was very clear with communicating / planning for things!

The team was great! Very friendly and helpful. We had no issues boarding or deboarding. Everything was timely and exactly how expected. Communication prior to departure was thorough and informative. Would recommend this boat/crew to others.

55' Sea Ray Sundancer Yacht in Boston

This was an amazing experience. Bob and Corey were super friendly and the girls loved every minute of the two hours — they were helpful in taking pics and made the ride so worth it. The boat is also bigger than I expected and had the capacity to easily fit 10-12 people. Thank you so much for this special experience, we’ll never forget this! 💛

Boston’s Most Popular Experiences

Here are some of the best things to do on your Boston boat rental. Boston Harbor Use your Boston boat rental to visit Boston Harbor. Enjoy the picturesque harbor and everything that it has to offer. It might be the 21st century, but clippers, schooners, sloops, and other traditional boats can often be found in the Boston Harbor. Experience some real New England maritime heritage while cruising around the harbor. Lobstering Keep an eye out for lobsters because they are abundant in Boston Harbor. Ask your captain where the best places are to catch your own lobster. You can catch lobsters with gloved hands by teasing them out of holes with sticks. Once you have captured a big one, cook up that lobster yourself as you prepare your meal on the boat. Champagne Sunset Cruise Champagne Sunset Cruise Take a cruise around Boston Harbor at sunset while sipping glasses of cold champagne. A champagne sunset cruise with friends and family can be the perfect way to end your Boston boat cruise. Again, you may want to ask your captain for some help arranging your champagne sunset cruise.

Boston’s Best Bodies of Water

Harbor Islands

Near Boston Harbor is a National Park with more than 30 islands and peninsulas. All except three of the islands are open to the public, and they can be reached on your Boston boat rental. Take some overnight camping trips on the islands, near a secluded beach, and far from crowds and traffic. You can also try your luck at some fishing for flounder, stripers, cod, and bluefish.

Cuttyhunk Island

This is the furthest of the Elizabeth Islands in the entire state of Massachusetts. The harbor is protected by many sandbars that serve as excellent beaches to visit on your Boston boat rental. There is a service called the Harbor Raw Bar Boat that will deliver oysters, clams, chowder, and shrimp right to your Boston boat rental in the summer.

World’s End

In Hingham, less than ten nautical miles from Boston Harbor, is a small island called World’s End, with a beautiful protected cove. This is another option for escaping the crowds. You can cook some fresh seafood, lie in the sun on Nantasket Beach, and spend the day relaxing in the cove.
