Liberty Fleet Tall Ship
Sunset Sail

The experience

An evening with real sails.

Liberty Fleet’s two-hour Boston Harbor sunset cruise departs Fan Pier Marina in the Seaport District on a traditional tall ship. The crew raises the sails after departure and takes a relaxed route through the inner harbor, with room to watch the skyline, open water and working rigging from the deck.

On favorable voyages the crew may invite guests to help handle a line or raise sail, but participation is optional and operating conditions decide what is possible. The skyline, Fort Independence, East Boston and the Charlestown Navy Yard are among the advertised viewpoints. There is deliberately no formal recorded or live narration, though crew members can answer questions about the harbor and vessel.

The ticket includes the two-hour sailing experience, not complimentary beverages or a meal. Drinks and snacks are sold onboard, and travelers may bring small snacks or bag lunches. Coolers and outside drinks are not allowed. The Viator page mentions the Liberty Star, while its provider gallery also shows the vessel Fame. Treat those as fleet imagery rather than a guarantee of which ship will sail on your selected date.
