Our Mission
Classic Harbor Line Boston Mission
Our mission at Classic Harbor Line is to exceed expectations of hospitality aboard our multi-passenger classic yachts.
We believe that hospitality is a warm welcome and the continued care and appreciation of our passengers and each other. At Classic Harbor Line, we believe genuine care for others is fundamental to achieving our safety standards.
Beyond offering harbor tours and private events, Classic Harbor Line aims to be an industry leader through social, environmental, and philanthropic contributions. We annually review and improve our best practices to minimize our impact on the environment, cultivate inclusion in our industry, and enhance the quality of life for our community.
Accessibility, in all its meanings, is a priority for Classic Harbor Line. In addressing access to the waterfront, the ability to enjoy sailing, or just experiencing our great city from the water; we support and adopt technologies and practices to improve access for all peoples to enjoy the programming that we offer.
As sailors by trade, we witness first-hand the pollutants in our waterways, sea level rise, and the increase in average daily temperatures occurring through climate change. At Classic Harbor Line, we review and revise our operating procedures annually to cut our carbon emissions, reduce our use of single-use plastics, make purchasing choices that reflect these values, and create programming that educates and inspires change for the betterment of our planet’s health.
Classic Harbor Line Boston has a plant-based catering menu for our charter clients who are looking to minimize the environmental impact of their gatherings. We offer sailing, the oldest and greenest mode of transportation on the planet. -—We support numerous food waste mitigation procedures. We envision a world where more people, making small changes like these, make a big, positive difference for our planet and her future.
