Full description

Set sail onboard a genuine tall ship such as the 125' Schooner Liberty Clipper or the 67' Liberty Star and be transported back in time. See the Boston skyline, its harbor, and the different neighborhoods from the water during this sunset cruise.

While breezes keep you cool you are welcome to help the crew hoist the sails the old-fashioned way (use those muscles) or just relax, enjoy a drink, and watch as others haul sails.

Take a turn at the helm (steering wheel). Both ships offer both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for sale. Do you think you might get hungry while you are onboard? Bring your favorite take-out and make it a picnic (sorry, no coolers or BYOB permitted). Choose between a 1.5-hour cruise on the 67" Liberty Star or a 2-hour cruise on the 125" Liberty Clipper.

Includes

Free exercise if you would like to help the crew hoist sails

Was in Boston on business and chose this tour on a whim after the whale watching cruise I booked weeks before was canceled due to mechanical issues, and I am so glad I did! Energetic and friendly crew, great ship and an absolutely beautiful sunset made for an interesting and relaxing excursion.
