Rowes Wharf Water Transport’s water-taxi service picks up patrons from various points throughout the Inner Harbor and seats them in fully upholstered, heated boats for commutes across the water-paved highway. With the service, seafarers can catch a flight at Logan Airport or visit the New England Aquarium and fight the urge to headbutt the enormous tanks’ glass.

On Boston Green Cruises’s 90-minute tour, sightseers ferry through the city’s historic Inner Harbor and Charles River on peaceful, environmentally responsible vessels. Guests coast through the gentle waves of Boston Harbor and admire the waterfront scenery aboard the quiet, battery-powered Unplugged, a zero-emissions boat propelled by a highly efficient power rudder and early Steely Dan albums. The aquatic vehicle comfortably seats up to 12 guests, ensuring each passenger has ample room to lounge atop plush seating while taking in the Boston skyline, the USS Constitution, and the old railroad bridge over the Charles River.
