Summer Music Cruise

If you are in Boston and find yourself yearning for some sun and water, consider taking one of the summer music cruises offered by the Bay State Cruise Company.

What to Expect
Don't be deceived by the word "cruise" - the vessel we took certainly was not the Love Boat. The cruise is more of a ferry-style ride, proceeding at a leisurely pace. The entertainment was fun, but the true enjoyment of the activity comes from being on the water and seeing the lights from the city at night. It was a nice escape from the city and a chance to feel the ocean breeze.

In case the sea air helps you work up an appetite, there is a small snack bar on the lower level that sells chips and pretzels as well as alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages. Prices run high but are not outrageous.

Cruise Schedule and Prices
Planning your trip is a snap: tickets can be purchased on the day of travel at the waterfront.

Bay State Cruise Company offers a variety of other ervices including ferry rides to Provincetown, as well as chartered tours. Visit their web site for hours, prices, reservations, directions and other information.

More Cruises
If you enjoy a summer music cruise, you may also want to consider another regional boat ride. We recommend a serene tour along the winding, placid waters of the Cape Ann marine estuary. Just 30 miles north of Boston, in the picturesque harbor of Essex, an historic shipbuilding center, you will find
Essex River Cruises, which offers 90 minute tours aboard the Essex River Queen II.
