The Fourth of July is coming up in a few weeks. Experience the fireworks display from the river!
Our country is emerging from the coronavirus pandemic just in time to safely celebrate the Fourth of July in style! Charles Riverboat Company is excited to announce this year’s plans for public cruises on the Fourth.
The Boston Fireworks (2021)
The City of Boston will be setting off fireworks from the Boston Common instead of the traditional Esplanade location on July 3rd & 4th. Due to the unpredictable nature of the coronavirus pandemic, the city has foregone its normal ten-month planning period for this year’s event. The 
Boston Pops Firework Spectacular, normally an in-person celebration, will be broadcast on live TV and will not be available on our cruises. But not to worry – you can still get a lovely night out and a view of the fireworks from our cruises! See the details below and book your tickets today.
