The dusk on Boston Harbor pulls the city into a softer silhouette: piers and cranes become darkened angles while the water picks up the first glints of ship lights. On a two-hour dinner cruise from the Seaport/Long Wharf area, the city slides by in a steady loop — the USS Constitution’s iron hull, Castle Island’s ramparts, and the Harbor Islands rising like small, wind-bleached stages.

Layer up for wind
