Harborfest Fireworks Cruise Aboard Schooner Adirondack III
Get the fourth of July week started with a BANG! Wave to your fellow patriots on the shoreline as we cruise around and see the sites of Boston! Following our cruise around the harbor enjoy a spectacular fireworks display on Boston Harbor. Enjoy one complimentary drink with your ticket purchase!
Join us for two hour cruise, followed by Harborfest Fireworks lighting up along Boston's Waterfront.
Notable Sites:
- The best view of the Harborfest fireworks show out on the Boston Harbor
- Within minutes of leaving the dock, you'll forget the distractions of life on land as you experience the joy of a leisurely night. In addition, you will get views of Boston’s Skyline and the fireworks display that cannot be matched anywhere else!
Please note that we may not be able to raise sail for the fireworks due to crowding in the harbor and the lighting on the boat. If time permits, we may do some sailing after the fireworks.
* Please note that the fireworks are weather permitting*
About Adirondack III
Inspired by the pilot schooners of the 1890’s, Classic Harbor Line’s Adirondack III is 80-ft in length, features teak decks, mahogany-trimmings, complete with 2 bathrooms, and just under 2,000 square feet of canvas to escort you through Boston’s historic harbor!
Though it is a light and lively sailing vessel, it is also quite comfortable, with ample deck space and seating for up to 41. It was designed and built by Scarano Boat Building of Albany, NY for taking groups of people on spectacular sightseeing adventures.
Sailing in this schooner is a delight. She moves through the water efficiently and beautifully; we take great pride in sharing her with you.
The Adirondack III is operated by Coast Guard-certified captains and an extremely friendly and talented crew. Our crew is known for their amazing hospitality, and are professionally trained and experienced in sailing our vessels well and safely. Do not hesitate to ask our crew about the boat or any of the Boston sites.
