What To Expect

Codzilla is a thrill boat that roams the waters of Boston Harbor, exciting passengers with its blend of power and speed.

Codzilla roars with two turbo-charged diesel engines that provide 2,800 horsepower, and it gets going up to 40 miles per hour. It has been referred to as a “water coaster” because of its swerving, curving, spinning and ripping moves. Be prepared to get wet—dress appropriately. And there is also loud music, so be prepared.

This fast and furious seasonal cruise operates from May to October only.

Fog stops - carpzilla from attacking the ocean

Christopher_C, Aug 2023

Fog stopped all rides- cancel rescheduled my 12:15pm booking to 4:15pm on 8/29/23. Only to find it not happening at all! I should have been texted that all trips were canceled so my last day in Boston could be better planned. I had planed my trip, pre ordered only to find the trolly service I used afterwards would have given me A 50 percent reduction in cost if I started with them and not did it in reverse order. -Seattle WA

The most fun I had all year

Matilde_B, Aug 2023

We had a great time , it was super exciting. I will go again ! I told all my friends and posted photos on my Instagram and now everyone wants to go too.

Too expensive but brief great wet fun!

Melanie_L, Aug 2023

The fast fun speed and splashes were great! 10 & 12 year olds loved it but even they commented too much staff talking and way too little action. If they used the majority of available time in the fast speed zone- it would be a much better value and way more fun! It certainly helped that we had a hot sunny summer day as well.

Amazing experience

lovemsdp, Aug 2023

The speed of the boat and the actual ride was insanely Fun! The captain drove the boat with ease! Thx

Codzilla!

Lorie_M, Aug 2023

Fast and Fun, great commentary! Only thing that I would add as a negative, is they said there was loud music. We couldn't hear it.

A thrilling and safe fun in the sun experience!

James_D, Aug 2023

The staff on Codzilla was excellent. The young girl who narrated the trip was both humorous and safety conscious. My 11 year old grandson told me the trip "exceeded his expectations". High praise from today's jilted generation.

Super fun!

Kim_D, Aug 2023

Super fun! A must- do in Boston! I loved it, my 10 year old loved it! I felt very safe and laughed for an hour.

Amazing Ride!!!!!!!

Mariam_F, Aug 2023

I went with my family and my brother family. They came from UK and I booked it for all of us. It was a nice treat!

Fun in the sun

Jessie_B, Aug 2023

Loved the view of the city from the harbor and the wave chasing. Our tour guide Liam was super fun and engaging. I’d recommend getting in line early to sit up front!

Fun!

Leonisa_A, Aug 2023

It was really fun. The weather was beautiful. The entertainer was really funny and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it.

Taylor_L, Aug 2023

Be prepared to get wet! It was a blast. I was worried I would get seasick but absolutely no problems with that.
