Fantastic experience

This was a fantastic way to see and learn more about the area. We took the 2 1/2 hour harbor cruise and were very pleased with the value. The captain and mate were very polite, knowledgeable and passionate about their role. I would highly recommend this for young and old.

A fun hour tour

A great way to see the harbor from the waterside. A 360• view of docs, historic sites, restaurants, etc. . Our captain and mates were a friendly, knowledgeable duo. Ergot’s rare chance too seeGloucester Police, Harbormaster and USCG all race out of the harbor simultaneously to aid a boat taking on water..unexpected excitement for all, especially the kids. A fun hour tour with multiple pick up/drop off points..and relaxing too!

Great Experience

We thoroughly enjoyed taking a 2.5-hour lighthouse tour around Cape Ann. The captain and crew were welcoming, friendly, professional, and very attentive to safety. They provided drinks and snacks onboard for an inexpensive cost, and they had blankets available to help guests combat the cool winds that blow on the ocean. We took the tour on an extremely hot day and yet we were cool as we left the harbor. This trip was very relaxing and really provides a good sense of the Cape Ann area.

AMAZING lighthouse tour!

We had an AMAZING time on the lighthouse tour! The captain (Jesse) and the first mate (Brian) were knowledgeable, super friendly and made me feel safe on board. Bring sunscreen and a sweatshirt (it can get breezy on the water). Also, bring cash for snacks, beverages and a well deserved tip. The boat was plenty big. We will be going back to do this tour again because it was truly a fun and relaxing trip!

Gloucester Water Shuttle

We took the Harbor Water Shuttle on the Lady Jillian and it was awesome! The captain provided so much helpful information on Gloucester and the fishing port and surrounding areas. Highly recommend this tour. Cannot wait to go back and do the lighthouse tour!!
