Haunted Harbor Cruise

Set along the storied New England coast, Salem, Massachusetts, offers a rugged blend of maritime history and eerie folklore that few places can match. Mahi Mahi Cruises taps into this unique energy with its Haunted Harbor Cruise, a 75-minute journey aboard the double-decker Hannah Glover. This seasonal cruise navigates the rugged shorelines of Salem, Beverly, and Marblehead, weaving together local legends, ghostly pirates, and haunted islands under a canopy of classic Halloween tunes.

Boarding the Hannah Glover, passengers find comfort in a heated main cabin and the convenience of three onboard bathrooms. The real draw, however, is a storyteller who moves through the vessel sharing spine-tingling tales passed down through generations—tales of shipwrecks, restless spirits, and misfortune lurking just off the coast. Adding to the atmosphere are tarot readings, creating a vivid, immersive experience for all ages eager for a thrill.

Guests can indulge in a full bar and grill, featuring October-exclusive offerings like Grandma's Spiked Cider, clam chowder, and hearty chicken noodle soup, alongside favorites from local craft brews and fruit-forward island cocktails. As the boat cruises past iconic coastal features such as Salem’s historic wharfs, the rugged Misery Islands, and Marblehead’s rocky coves, every vista contributes to the eerie ambiance. Mahi Mahi Cruises stands out as a top local adventure by combining accessible maritime travel with cultural storytelling that honors the region’s dark maritime legacy.

Whether a local or visitor chasing a taste of New England’s haunted past, this cruise offers a distinctive off-season experience that’s perfectly suited to the October calendar. It’s a rare chance to connect with coastal history through a uniquely entertaining, atmospheric lens.
