Questions about Boston Sunset Sail

Question: My girlfriend bought us a Schooner Sail in Boston for our anniversary. I've gotten seasick on boats before, but not every time. How steady is this cruise?

Answer: If you get seasick only on small vessels you should be okay. The yacht is 80 feet and very stable and it is pretty rare for passengers to get seasick. If you normally take medication for motion sickness you may want to consider it, however the cruise company cannot officially advise you to take any.
Question: I am thinking of purchasing this gift. Does the cruise company have a parking lot for passengers?

Answer: There is limited metered parking and paid parking lots available nearby. More detailed contact and parking information will be on the confirmation after requesting a reservation.
Question: My Husband and I received this wonderful gift from out thoughtful children. If we choose to bring a picnic, is there a place for us to store the basket when we are finished?

Answer: Yes, there is storage space below deck to store a small bag. These are not lockers and not guarded. The schooner company is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.
