Public Cruises

Take a FREE cruise to explore your local harbor! Boston Harbor is a beautiful public resource for us all to enjoy, and Save the Harbor is proud to have a free resource for folks to do so. We want to see YOU out on Boston Harbor with us! We offer a mix of Sunset Harbor Tours, where we explore the harbor and it’s gorgeous views from the boat, and Spectacle Sunday Cruises, where people are able to get out and explore Spectacle Island.

These free cruises are made possible with support from Cronin Development, the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, Massachusetts Office of Environmental Protection, Bay State Cruise Company, and Mass Bay Lines.
