Charles Riverboat Company

Since its creation in 1990, the Charles Riverboat Company has offered guests the chance to experience the sights of Boston from the best vantage point in the city, while highlighting Boston’s rich maritime history. We are the only company offering cruises on the historic Charles River with views of both Boston and Cambridge. A family run business, the Charles Riverboat Company was founded with the ideals of providing a comfortable environment, genuine guides, and an alternative approach to exploring the great city of Boston – for locals and visitors alike. Starting with just one boat, the Charles Riverboat Company has grown to a fleet of 5 vessels carrying over 50,000 passengers per year! With spectacular views of the Boston skyline, Old Ironsides, Harvard University and more, our sightseeing tours and private cruises are nothing less than spectacular. Whether you are planning an intimate group event or looking for an enjoyable afternoon adventure, come cruise with us and experience the relaxing and entertaining atmosphere on the Charles River and Boston Harbor!
