We booked the 6:30-8:00 pm cruise about 1 week ahead of time. Make sure to get there at 6:00, so you can get a seat on the top of the boat, which offers the best views. They served a large stuffed clam, which was nice, as well as complimentary champagne. Also ordered a mixed drink, which was surprisingly affordable at only $6. The captain gave nice and humorous commentary during the trip. I would recommend making a reservation at a nearby restaurant near the dock, so you can seamlessly walk from the boat to dinner, for a beautiful evening.
