Unfortunately, due to forecasted rain and 40 mph winds, this Saturday's cruise to Spectacle Island has been postponed until the following Saturday, October 29th. All confirmed reservations will be transferred to the October 29th date-- but please do reach out if you can't join us that day so we can give your space away!

The details (location, time, etc) will remain the same for this trip--We will board the Provincetown II at the Bay State Cruise Company dock at 200 Seaport Blvd at 9:30am for a 10am departure. The boat will return to the Seaport by 2:30pm. Please dress warmly, as temperatures on the water and the islands will be cooler than in the city! Also note that the island snack bar will be closed.

On Saturday, October 22nd, Save the Harbor/Save the Bay will host a free "Treasures of Spectacle Island" cruise to enjoy a fall day on DCR's Spectacle Island in the Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park. Join us to hunt for sea glass and artifacts on Treasure Beach, hike the North Drumlin for a view of the city and the harbor, and learn about the fascinating history of this unique island.


Thanks to our partners at Mass Humanities, storyteller Norah Dooley will once again join us as Mary Read the Pirate to share stories of Boston Harbor and encourage you to share your stories as well.


We will begin boarding the Provincetown II at Bay State Cruise Company's dock at the World Trade Center in the Seaport at 9:30 AM for a 10 AM departure. The boat will return by 2:30 PM.


The snack bar aboard the Provincetown II will be open, but the snack bar and visitor's center on Spectacle Island will have closed for the season. You are welcome to bring a picnic lunch-- please remember that the Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park has a "carry-on, carry-off" policy, so bring a bag for your trash!


Dress warmly for this trip! Temperatures on the harbor will be cooler than those in the city.


Reservations are required. Though there is plenty of room on the boat, space is still limited, so please RSVP by email to [email protected] or call Amy at 617-451-2860 x1008. Please give us an accurate headcount so that we can accommodate as many guests as possible.


Please remember that any sea glass or artifacts found on the island must stay on the island for other visitors to enjoy! We do encourage you to find and keep one inch blue frosted glass marbles that you find on the beach, as they are your ticket to enter the 5th Annual Simply Marble-ous Treasure Hunt for JetBlue Flights! Just post a picture of yourself with the marble to Save the Harbor's Facebook!
