What boat tours are actually like

Golden hour on the water, a drink in hand, and a skyline or coastline doing its best work.

  1. Board 15 to 30 minutes before departure. Grab a spot on the rail early.
  2. Cast off. Most sunset sails run 90 minutes to 2 hours.
  3. The crew narrates or plays music. Dolphins and sea birds show up more often than you'd think.
  4. Return to the dock just after dark.

Bring: A light layer, it's cooler on the water, Camera, Cash for the bar or a tip. Good for: Dates, parents in town, and anyone who wants the easiest great evening available.
