The visual of contrails catching the setting sun was awesome! Liked hearing the cannon of the Constitution going off. Crew members were awesome. It was quite cold on the water, so reminding guests to be prepared would help.

Full description

If Boston is best seen from the water, then by far the best time to see it is during a sunset cruise on a classic Boston tall ship! We depart Fan Pier Marina and raise the sails, then it’s time to just chill out and relax. The Star can accommodate up to 39 passengers in addition to a crew of 3. Get away from the hustle and bustle of the city streets and enjoy some quality time out on the water with unbeatable views of the skyline sparkling in the twilight. Drinks are available onboard for purchase via cash, credit, or Apple Pay - our menu includes several beers brewed right here in South Boston! We also have red and white wine, select cocktails, soda, juice, and water available in addition to several snack options. You are welcome to bring your own snacks, but please no coolers or outside beverages. There is no formal narration during our public sails, but feel free to ask the captain and crew and they’ll happily share their knowledge of local landmarks and history.

Includes

  • Free exercise if you would like to help the crew hoist sails

It was a really great experience, so close to the water that you could smell it. There is no narration but the crew is cool and they are friendly
