A decent, yet unspectacular experience. Friendly people and a nice leisurely experience. Cruise was closer to 60 minutes than the 75 they said it would be, and only the first 1/2 of the tour is narrated. Offers some nice views, and the paddleboat is a different experience. I went as part of a tour group so I can't speak to the price/value but overall it was a decent experience. Don't think I'd ever do it again, but for what it was I had a good time. read more

It's basic, but the price is right. Perhaps they could do better with a script for the young man to read. All I know is that there's a point that all the boats drive to to party. I'm sure there's more history out here somewhere. Fun excursion and not a huge commitment on time. Ice cream shops surrounding the area made it all fun. read more

We went in the Pilgrim Belle cruise and it was fun. We enjoyed that we were able to grab a cocktail on the boat and the bartender was super awesome. The captain or whoever does the announcing the boat was good and knowledgeable. We felt overall the short cruise wasn't as exciting or as fun as we thought it would be. We ended up talking to the bartender and stayed in the bottom of the boat most of the trip. I do believe this is great for parents with their children or maybe older couples. read more

A lovely little cruise through Plymouth Harbor and out into the channel. The guide was knowledgeable a really seemed to enjoy his job! We went just to spend some time on the water and it was worth it! Only an 1hr 15min but a little respite from the sunset heat. read more

Th cruise is basically out to a lighthouse and back. The narration was run of the mill. The bar is cash only-in an era when people carry little cash. I looked forward to getting off and doing something else. Save your money. read more

Took the 2pm cruise while in Plymouth. Really enjoyed this ride, it was about an hour and went all around the channel while the captain told us some stories about the areas we were passing by. They served alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages inside as well which was really nice. My only recommendation would be to head there about 20 minutes before the boat departs, this way you can get on the boat and find seats on the upper deck which is open. There is also a restroom on the lower level, which I think is useful information. I did also notice families pushing strollers on board so I wonder if it would be wheelchair accessible as well. I definitely recommend this boat ride for anyone visiting Plymouth. read more

Lots of people used groupon deals. These guys entertain it very well. Now about trip, it was nice. It lasted for over 4 hours. We didn't spot any whale until boat reached marine sanctuary where we spotted various groups of whales everywhere around boat. Some of them below our boat too and very very close to us. Crew tried their best to make sure people enjoy whales very near to them. We saw New England aquarium boat too close to us. So I guess everyone takes to the same place but the effort to take close to whales without hurting them makes a difference. We saw few other seals ( visible only from upper deck) but not any other species. Even return trip was great, boat running in full speed for over an hour, you are standing at nose of the boat and water splashing around you coz of huge waves. Tip: Take jackets for sure. No one got sea sick in trip. Trip was easy going and kids enjoyed a lot running around on boat. Parking is only 4 hours on street so be prepared to get a 15 USD fine or park at the parking garage in the street next to water street. read more

We went on a Monday cruise at 1130 in the morning on an overcast day. There were a total of 6 or 8 people, including my wife and I, so I cannot comment on how the cruise may be with a crowd. Comfortable boat ride. There is a snack bar/bar on the lower level and a bar on the upper level. The crew were very friendly. Nice little boat ride with some interesting facts provided. read more

Sunset cruise... Supposed to leave at 7pm. Have been "waiting for a few late arrivers" for 30 min. Haven't left the damn pier. Watching the sunset from the dock, which I could have done for free. Definitely not worth $175 for the five of us. read more

My dad and stepmother got married on this ship. It was a great time! A few weeks ago we went back out on one of their cruises for my dad's birthday. We had a great time! The views are great and the ship is clean. The only issue we had was there were no more seats outside - inside was fairly crowded as well - so we stood the whole time. I would definitely go back. read more

We had our wedding reception on board the Pilgrim Belle and it was fantastic. The staff was super helpful in answering all of my questions and ensured that the ride was smooth. It is a great way to celebrate in a different way (no more boring banquet halls!). We had about 55 people on board and it felt intimate but not overly crowded. I think our guests had a great time and loved that the setting was different. The sunset was gorgeous as well and made for great pictures. read more

We have a signed contract for our rehearsal dinner here this July. They double booked and expect our party to find alternative plans or accept their offer of using a ferry instead which is not even close to comparable. They are unorganized and I would never book with them again. In addition, it was only when we called this past week to make sure it was set that they realized they had double booked. Now we need to find a alternative in downtown for 65 people on a Friday night. Thank you for causing a disaster less than 2 months before our wedding with no compensation for your mess up. read more

Don't waste your money. $20 to go on a boat ride....in a circle. So i thought our tour guide (Captain) was boring, but hey.....a 20-30 min recorded narration wasn't far behind. He stopped the recording because we were going too slow, we were going "against the current" so he had to stop it then replay it 5 min before it ends. Then we sat as they played music as we just floated back. No sight seeing that it supposedly says it gives. If we were going so slow.....then why did we actually get back on time? 75 minutes, and for the first time.....i was counting down to come back to shore. Most boring tour i have ever been on. read more
