What fun for my family of 5 (kids aged 19, 17, 14). Patrick was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and funny. The boat is small enough that there is no need to push aboard--plenty of good seats for everyone. Boards right at Bowen's Wharf. We took the sunset cruise and got back in time for many of the shops to still be open. We could poke around while we waited for our table at one of the many restaurants. What a great addition to our trip! I did book in advance from home--but just about 3 days before we went.
