Description

Embark on a sunset yacht tour of Boston Harbor. Step aboard the classic and inviting yacht Northern Lights. This elegant, classic boat is Coast Guard-certified and operates with a professional captain and crew!

Sit back and relax in a climate-controlled cabin, or enjoy the sea breeze on the open deck areas. Be sure to visit the fully stocked bar to purchase refreshments by credit card so you can sip refreshing drinks as you cruise along the harbor.

The Northern Lights yacht is one of the most comfortable and versatile cruise vessels in Boston Harbor and is modeled after 1920s-style New England steamships.

Built for taking groups of people on spectacular adventures, she is the perfect sightseeing boat in Boston for taking groups of friends and family out to see the harbor.
