We made our reservations online and received an E-mail the day before our trip as a reminder. We found a place to park feet from the entrance to the boat. The boarding was done in a timely manor. The Rip Van Winkle has several levels so you can sit inside or out. The ride is 2 hours pointing out all things of interest between Kingston and Hyde Park NY. We also saw 2 bald eagles. The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed a comfortable sightseeing trip. There is a snack bar aboard and beer and wine is also available for purchase. There is a waterfront park, many restaurants and ample parking within walking distance of the boat.
