The Tall Ships are coming to Boston! We’ll be offering private Charters and public tours . Book soon to make sure you have the best view in the harbor ! ⚓️ ⛵️

Throwback to July 11, 2000. Under es**rt into Boston Harbor, USS CONSTITUTION led the Sail Boston parade of Tall Ships, welcomed by thousands lining the waterfront and watching from the deck of USS JOHN F. KENNEDY. It was a powerful reminder that this ship still commands the harbor it has called home for more than two centuries.

Looking ahead, On July 11, 2026, “Old Ironsides” will once again take the lead as the Tall Ships return to Boston for America250. The harbor. The crowds. The pride. And the ship at the front. Mark your calendars.
