More to know

• As the tour starts out, you will see a beautiful sunset while we make our way downtown. We have it timed perfectly so that once we get to the bayfront, it is dark enough to see the lights!

• Although the season here stays pretty mild, we suggest you dress appropriately and keep in mind it’s always a bit cooler on the water! We have windows that can go up or down, so on those colder evenings we can lower the windows for extra warmth. Pro-tip: bring a small blanket to cozy up with for those chilly evenings. Blankets along with other goodies and gifts are for sale in our marina shop!
