Boston Harbor City Cruises

About

Boston Harbor City Cruises operates a wide range of boat trips from the Boston waterfront, from sightseeing and whale watching to ferries and entertainment cruises. Its lineup includes whale watches, sightseeing harbor tours, lighthouse and sunset cruises, Charles River cruises and Codzilla, a thrill boat ride. The company also runs ferry service, including the Salem Ferry and the Cape Cod Fast Ferry to Provincetown, giving visitors a way to travel by water.

The operation grew out of Boston Harbor Cruises, a family-owned company that described itself as the nation’s largest private operator of passenger vessels and has carried millions of passengers on its fleet. Today it is part of City Experiences, which runs cruises and ferries in cities across the United States, Canada and Europe. Private charters are available for groups and events, and the company also runs The Landing, billed as Boston’s only fully outdoor waterfront bar.
