Weather is important! Great way to spend a couple hours on the water in Boston Harbor! Short narrated tour last about 20 minutes, then a nice buffet lunch with pork, chicken & Talapia along with all the usual buffet items. Food was good quality and plenty of it!.. The Cost for 2 adults lunch cruise was $59 each with taxes.... More

To celebrate our High School's Class of 2012, the parent group funded an Odyssey cruise for the Senior Class. The day of the cruise, was rainy and dismal, and we parents, as well as students were thinking - this isn't going to be much fun out in the Harbor. Well, they couldn't have had a better time! The ship was... More

Having grown up in Charlestown, I really have to revert back to Boston Speak, The Spirit of Boston was "Wicked Awesome". First of all, setting up the lunch event for my Mom's 80th Birthday with Tim Mahan was extremely easy and he was very helpful. The staff on the boat was wonderful, especially Michelle our wait staff. The singers were... More

We arrived early, checked in, and found that their dress code was a joke. Passengers who boarded the boat were wearing clothes ranging from shorts and t-shirts to night club attire. Our picture was taken as we boarded. We were allowed to board about 45 minutes before leaving the dock and were seated immediately. The waitress introduced herself and somewhat... More

The Spirit of Boston is such a great boat to go on. The view of the city is really great, especially seeing the landscape lit up at night. I highly recommend taking this boat trip with friends, as the DJ play great music for dancing and is really a good time all around. I will definitely go on this boat... More

It was wonderful working with Tim Scott to set up my event. We are taking a group of foster parents aboard the Spirit of Boston. I was calling him many times to ask questions and he was always very polite and helped me in many ways. We had to call him at the last minute to add more people and... More

My sisters and I planned a 50th Birthday Party for our "baby sister" aboard the Spirit of Boston. We had a party of 19 women. When we arrived, they had 3 tables set beautifully (including balloons) for our group! Immediately they took bar orders and brought appetizers for our party! The buffet was very delicious, with the salmon and beef... More

We had a wonderful anniversary party for my parents. We enjoyed great food and service. We espeically enjoyed the complimentary cocktails. Our children loved the DJ. She played the type of music that kept all of us dancing. We enjoyed seeing the other boats in the harbor. All in all it was a great day. More

I was expecting a classy night out on the water and a great meal, and I didn't get either of those. Despite the Saturday night dinner dress code on the website, we were disappointed by all of the people we saw wearing jeans and tank tops or shorts which really took away from it being a "special" event. If you... More

We went of a "Harbor Breeze Cocktail Cruise" arranged a retirement party along with this theme. It was wonderful--what could be better, great food, elegance, dancing and an amazing view. The service was wonderful and they arranged a cake which was beautiful as well as delicious. We are already thinking of another reason to go again! More
