More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the gangway and the city exhales: brick facades give way to the harbor’s reach, the skyline receding as the boat nudges into open water. The Cycleboat’s low-slung deck keeps you close to the tide; pedals hum when the crew invites you to join, or you can settle at the central bar and let Boston glide by. Sea spray dares you to put a hand out and count sailboats as the harbor’s islands and piers pass within arm’s reach.
