After spending two half-days with Nick at East Coast Divers, I walked away with a completely new…read morelevel of information and confidence. Even though this wasn't a certification course, the workshop provided practical setup advice and technical insights that are hard to find elsewhere.   Nick's technical knowledge is expansive; he was able to address every question or concern the group had with ease. What impressed me most was his willingness to help outside the specific scope of the workshop--if we had a scuba-related subject we were curious about, he would work with us one-on-one to provide pointers or recommendations. It shows he's invested in the diver's overall success, not just checking boxes for the day's lesson.   He clearly cares about the curriculum and his students. He went over the allotted time both days to ensure we truly understood the material, and I wouldn't have shortened it by a single minute. If you are looking to fine-tune and improve your in-water skills, I highly recommend his Advanced Buoyancy, Movement, and Positioning Techniques workshop.

The boat crew then spent 15 minutes trying to get us off the boat so the other crew could come on. What bad customer service to ask the people who arrived 10 minutes before the other group, already paid, and were on the boat to leave! The only good thing about this experience is they offered for us to come back Sunday for free, but after the way they treated us and handled the whole situation we didn't want to spend 4 hours on a boat with them. Would never book with this company again after the way they handled everything.

I can't believe Yelp filtered my review! WTH…read more Here's the original review: The sunset sailing experience was great with Capt. Todd and Ensign. Boston Harbour was an amazing view and Hestia was a beautiful sailboat. Ensign was the cutest dog I've ever met. She's so quiet and friendly and she walked around on the boat just like a veteran sailor. It was fun to help pull up the sails and we learned a lot nautical terms -- lines (I used to call them "ropes" lol), port and starboard, the colors of the navigation lights (i.e. red on port/left side and green on starboard/right side) -- as well as some fun facts and histories about Boston Harbour and the islands. Capt. Todd seems to be a quiet type of person -- he's not like those typical tourist guides who keep talking and talking and talking (and trying to sell you stuff all the time) -- the entire tour was very relaxing and pleasant. But if you ask him questions about sailing, you'd realize that he is really knowledgeable and has some good stories to share (... oh definitely ask him if Ensign has ever fallen into the ocean!) The dock is at the back of Sargent's Wharf parking lot (which is full most of the time and is about $14 for two hours). It's 10-12 min walk (with great views) from Blue Line Aquarium T Station, so I'd suggest people take the T rather than drive -- it's insanely difficult (and expensive) to find a place to park in North End! And F* off Yelp!

A great way to kick off an evening on the town!

I am not sure what's going on. I had a review up for revere beach and I just posted a photo and…read morethere are no reviews so let's get started revere beach has been part of my life for the last 50 years. This is a fabulous beach back in the day you could cruise up and down in both directions for the entire length of the beach now everything is a one-way with a bunch of condos, and there's a little stretch left that's to weigh anyway when I was younger, there were a ton of rides arcades food stands I remember Joe Nemos, Rudolph's peppered steak, riding the cyclones, which was a wooden roller coaster left over from Revere's heyday they still had the bumper cars. The arcades were great not to mention all my high school years a little stint of lifeguarding on the beach but I grew up on this beach and it is 100% fantastic. I am not too happy about all the apartments in condominiums, but the beach itself is America's first beach for those of you that didn't know and it's also the most natural Crescent Beach in the country so come on down visit Revere Beach. Don't pay attention to the apartments. Just enjoy the sand in the water. I'm sure you'll have a fantastic day.

We haven't been in about 10 yrs and was so happy to see some amenity upgrades to keep people interested. They added a little playground/ slide for the kids, doesn't look Civil War ish but I'm sure is helpful for young ones lol a fantastic Welcome center with items they've found on Island or that era and a 9 minute movie introduction to the History of George's Island All Islands are carry out what you bring in so be aware of that. George's Island has Salty's food bar with really good prices considering everything has to be brought over on the ferry. We like to picnic and have a feast for dinner once back on the mainland. Bathrooms were clean and plentiful on George's and a composting loo on Lovell's. Free water taxi to Island hop to the other Islands to explore. I've been coming here since I was 12 and I'm SO happy that the BHI are growing with the times and there is still such an interest. The views of the cityscape are just awesome, it's like a world away even though you can see the skyline. LOVE IT ! Also, in all this time we've driven into the city to park but chose to go out of Hingham this time. We'll stick with that from Now on unless we need shopping downtown. Hingham offers free parking with the purchase of the Island ticket!! And Wahlburgers is just down the street with additional shopping if your not exhausted from a day of beach-combing

I have a J130 racer/cruiser sailboat in Marblehead, MA. I have three sails from Piranha as well as…read moreseveral others from most of the big sail makers. The ones that I use most for racing are the ones I got from Piranha. The Doyles, North Sails, and other mainstream vendors don't measure up to the build, speed and durability that I get from Piranha sails. The owner also builds the sails and then goes racing with his customers to see that they perform as expected. I have yet to see one of the other sailmakers do that for me. Perhaps a $6000 to $8000 sail doesn't merit that same kind of attention from them, but the fact is that a Piranha sail would cost less and outperform any of theirs. Go figure. Anyway, Piranha will be building all the rest of my sails for many more years to come. kris kristiansen skipper of Saga.

The tables are where the locals will be found playing mahjong and other games. I stopped for a bit to watch and it was intense! It took some digging to find out who was Mary Soo Hoo and the best I could do was that she was a longtime community activist. Not much more than that, unfortunately. The park is small at less than a tenth of an acre but the children's play area and the big trees make it a nice spot.
