    Central wharf, with the ferry named Rita in the center
    Shannen D.

    The ferry between the New England Aquarium and the Navy Yard is a great value! When the whale watch tours, the trolleys, and the duck tours are sold out, few people know that they can still go out on the water for just about $3 per person. Plus it's a great way to get to the USS Constitution, especially for tourists who don't want to navigate all the way through Charlestown to get there. The folks who run the ferry are polite and helpful. In my experience, it was a quiet trip. I believe they may sell snacks and have a restroom on board but the trip is short enough not to have to rely on that.

    Perfect end to the Freedom Trail. It was nice to be carted back to the middle of the Freedom Trail and the ferry provided great views for an amazing price. One of my kids said this was their favorite thing we did on our Boston vacation.

    Much better than a long walk around or a taxi ride from the Navy Yard to Long Wharf, thanks for a nice trip.

    I did the whale watching excursion with city cruises and I had a great time. I went to the dock 15…read moremin before the board time and there was a very large line waiting to get on the boat. The boat itself was very big and had three levels. The inside of the boat felt a little on the older side, but I don't think that mattered much since I was outside looking at the water most of the trip. I found the people onboard incredible knowledgeable about the different species of whales and locating the whales. I was able to see multiple whales or see them jump out of the water multiple times. It was really exciting each time a whale was spotted and there was always a rush from one side of the boat to another when one was spotted. I didn't try any of the food onboard, but they had the typical snack foods.

    My wife and I took the Odyssey's Thanksgiving lunch cruise to do something different this holiday…read more Overall, it was a great trip and well worth it. For starters, I upgraded my experience and paid for priority boarding and a window seat. It would have been ideal for them to have a priority boarding section. Instead I walked to the front of the line and ask the staff member how I should board and he said to just wait there. It felt a bit weird making it look as if I was simply cutting in front of everyone else who had been waiting in the cold for a long time. But honestly, I didn't feel too bad because, heck, they could have paid for the privilege too! Once onboard, the yacht was nicely decorated and having the window seat was worth it for the views. They put tables a bit too closely together for my liking, but it didn't make a major negative to the overall experience: The crew were all very nice and the service was pretty good. The drinks were delicious, from the after hour coffee and whiskey beverages to their spin on the old fashioned (added kola sugar and rum for a Caribbean themed variation). The crab and shrimp dip I ordered was also fantastic and I wished they provided extra bread or perhaps some chips to go with all the leftover dip in the bowl. I got champagne too as a part of a romance package, and that too was very nice. As for the thanksgiving buffet? Meh. The stuffing was bad, the macaroni and cheese was okay, the turkey was fairly good albeit a tad dry, and the salmon was solid. And when you were finished with the mediocre-at-best meal, there was time to take in some line dancing with the live DJ. Overall I really enjoyed it and will take another cruise with them some day. I just will temper my expectations relative to the meal!

    We had a good experience with charles river cruise in our recent trip to Boston. The boat dock was…read morenext to a shopping mall with access to restroom, dining options and various shops. The receptionist was friendly. The tour guide was phenomenal. Bearing a great, easygoing and a bit sarcastic personality, she was engaging, knowledgeable, funny and honest about her delivery. I learned a few things about the city and the famous schools from her personal opinion. Very steady and peaceful ride. Clean and well-maintained boat with a bar. Be mindful it's hot inside the boat with the scorching sun in PM so bring water, sun screen and hat, dress lightly. It was our second day in town our bodies still adjusted humidity and heat, I felt I was about to get a heat stroke. It'd be nice if they consider AC operated boat in the future.

    We took the 90-minute Charles River Tour Cruise on Friday, August 1st--our first time using Charles…read moreRiver Boat Company. The views were nice, but the experience turned sour quickly due to a lack of passenger care and extremely poor customer service. Halfway through the ride, we were filming the scenery at the front of the boat when, without warning, the captain blasted an incredibly loud horn as a "greeting" to another boat far in the distance. It was completely unnecessary, and the sudden, deafening sound startled everyone around us. I almost dropped my phone into the water. We went inside for the rest of the trip because we no longer felt safe or relaxed. Later that day, we emailed the company with our concerns and offered to send them the video showing exactly what happened. They didn't care. Instead, the Director of Operations, Gibson Cushman, dismissed our complaint, quoted Coast Guard rules (irrelevant in this case), and refused a refund. He offered a credit for another cruise, which felt like a cop-out since we're not local. His response made everything worse--tone-deaf, defensive, and full of excuses. He even tried to blame us, saying passengers should expect loud horns at any time. I had ringing in my ear for 48 hours--if we'd known something like this might happen, we could've worn ear protection. Overall, it was a stressful and disappointing experience. Their focus clearly isn't on guest satisfaction or safety--only on covering themselves. We won't be returning and wouldn't recommend them to others.
