The Perfect Trip!
4 Hr-Ocean Cruise Custom Itinerary - 12:00 PM on July 12, 20261 adult

I booked a last minute afternoon cruise with Kristian and Anna, and it was the best thing I’ve done all summer! I went solo to clear my head and it was exactly what I needed. The boat was gorgeous, spacious, and super comfortable. Kristian and Anna were knowledgeable, kind, and made sure I had an excellent afternoon. They pointed out beautiful spots and fish in the water, we even saw whales! Can’t recommend them highly enough. Definitely booking again.

Response from Captain

Wonderful afternoon
2 Hr –Merrimack River Sunset Cruise on June 28, 20263 adults

Captain Kristian and Anna were great to work with. We had to stay on the river due to heavy fog on the ocean - they turned what could have been a disappointing day into a beautiful and relaxing river cruise. Their thoughtfulness and attention to detail in creating a special day for us truly set them apart and exceeded our expectations!
