Spirit of Boston
About
Spirit of Boston is a four-level dining vessel that sails from Commonwealth Pier in the Seaport District year-round. Operated by Boston Harbor City Cruises, the ship recently went through a total interior renovation. It has three interior dining decks and two exterior observation decks, and public cruises pair buffet-style dining with a live DJ, interactive games and views of the city. Climate control on the interior decks keeps it comfortable in cooler weather.
Boston Harbor City Cruises traces its roots to 1926, when Boston Harbor Cruises began carrying passengers past the waterfront, naval yards and harbor islands, and the company marks 100 years on the harbor in 2026. Beyond the Spirit of Boston, it runs whale watches, Codzilla, historic tours and destination ferries to Salem, Provincetown and the Boston Harbor Islands. It is also the official maritime hospitality partner of the Boston Red Sox.
