The upper deck has no...

3.00The upper deck has no shade or awning. It can be very hot until you get on the water and have a breeze. The ground of the upper deck can be very hot for dogs and their paws. Bring a blanket for the dog to lay on.
Fun experience !

5.00Very relaxing and enjoyable experience! My friend and I love dogs but didn’t have one with us. We were able to meet and pet so many lovely dogs! The views were also incredible and the bar had a nice selection. For the price, I highly recommend this cruise.
We had a wonderful time!...

5.00We had a wonderful time! However, it's an older boat, so no central A/C onboard in case you or your pup overheats easily.

5.00We recently moved to the area and decided to take the dog cruise as a unique way to learn about our new city. It turned out to be a special and memorable experience for the entire family, including our kids and dogs. The boat was spacious offering plenty of room for everyone to move around comfortably. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring both humans and their furry companions felt welcome and cared for. They even provided free treats for the dogs, which was a lovely touch that our pets thoroughly enjoyed. The cruise itself offered beautiful views of the city and its surroundings. It was a relaxing and enjoyable way to take in the sights, and the commentary provided interesting and informative insights about the area’s history and landmarks.

5.00My husband and I were looking for something fun to do in the city over Memorial Day weekend. We came across a VERY reasonably priced cruise around Boston Harbor that allowed any paying customer to bring their dog with them. We really hit the jackpot with this cruise. Just before boarding i somehow managed to cut a gash in my leg that I couldn’t get to stop bleeding. As we were boarding, one of the crew - a lovely, and fun woman, noticed my predicament and told me to board and she would find me and help me out. I assumed she’d be too busy with her duties but just as we were settling on deck she came looking for me with huge band aids, wet paper towels and dry paper towels. Looking at my wound she realized I might need more so went back downstairs to see what she could rustle up. She came back with gauze and compression bandages. She was wonderful! The cruise itself was very relaxing. All the dogs were well behaved and there were crew members walking around with paper towels for any cleanups that might become necessary. The Captain had interesting facts that he shared with us on the loudspeaker as we continued on our Boston harbor cruise. I obviously loved this cruise but have one suggestion for further trips. Playing music over the intercom in between the Captain speaking would have made this a 10 out of ten. Still a REALLY nice time out on the water with our puppy. THANK YOU!!
