Daily except Mondays and Saturdays at 11, 1, 3, and 5 pm, Formidable will sail from Boston Waterboat Marina on Long Wharf, Boston, MA. Saturday is the day for our Harbor Battle, 11 AM, 2 PM, and 5 PM.

Directions - Please visit our directions page for driving directions.

Just take the T to Aquarium and walk out to the end of Long Wharf. Look to your left. Our dock is in the marina directly to the north. Wait at the gate, and our crew will let you in.

Parking is available in the garage next to the Aquarium. Buses can unload in front of the Aquarium, and can park in South Boston. Boston Waterboat Marina is right behind the Chart House Restaurant

We can carry no more than 49 passengers on each two hour sail. We usually book no more than 40 passengers on each sail. Tickets are $25, $10 for children under 18. Water, and ginger snaps are available during each trip. Feel free to bring your own food and drinks. Liquor is OK. Smoking is against the city law. Feel free to arrange for your own caterer, but there is only a brief moment before each excursion for loading food and drinks.

Also, Jules Catering of Somerville does a great job...
