Boat Choice
With a choice of six different vessels, there is no doubt you will be able to find the perfect fit for your event. Each of our boats offers a full bar, private restrooms, custom food options, and an experienced captain and crew. We offer two classic riverboats, a 75’ authentic two-level paddle wheel boat, a luxurious 97’ yacht, a 49’ Eastbay Express, and most recently, a custom-built 36’ vessel with an indoor lounge, covered outdoor deck, and open-air bow.

Food & Beverage
At Charles River Boat Company, we work closely with our catering team from Johnny Burke Catering & Events. Choose from a variety of menus, from boxed lunches to luxury sit-down meals to a raw bar on board. Have your meal buffet style, seated, or passed while enjoying the views of the Boston Harbor or the Charles River. There is a full bar on every board! Be greeted with a glass of champagne at boarding (per request) or customize your own signature cocktail menu to really wow your guests. Take a look at our delicious menus here, and our beverage options here.

Entertainment
Make your event unique by adding some fun extras! Have a DJ on board to play your favorite songs, get the dance floor started, or facilitate a night of karaoke. Not the singing type? Throw some games on board such as cornhole or Jenga for some easy entertainment! Or, even better, have both – you’ll be sure to keep guests entertained for the entire event!
