Tips & Advice
- Book well in advance, especially for popular dates during the holiday season, as their large fleet can accommodate many groups but availability is limited.
- Confirm the specific accessibility features of the boat you are booking if you have guests with mobility concerns, as not all vessels are fully wheelchair-accessible.
- Discuss your desired route with the event team beforehand, as different boats have varying capabilities due to size and bridge clearances.
- If planning a party, consider the catering options early on; they offer a wide range, and coordinating dietary needs in advance ensures a smooth experience.
- Arrive at the designated pier at least 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time to ensure a prompt start and maximize your booked time on the water.
