Summer’s nearly here and we’re using any excuse to be by the sea. Lucky for us, Boston water taxis offer service to top restaurants and bars along Boston Harbor. Another destination that offers aquatic transportation is Charleston, South Carolina. A stay at Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina places guests steps from Patriots Point, where they can then enjoy a scenic, 30-minute Fort Sumter Tours ferry ride to the historic Fort Sumter National Monument. If you’re itching for a warm-weather ferry ride, why not take a cruise in one of these top cities?
