Layer up for the harbor
Even warm summer evenings get cold on the water; bring a windproof layer to stay comfortable on deck.
Arrive early for boarding
Plan to meet 10–15 minutes before departure at the Long Wharf meeting point to find your guide and get settled.
Secure small items
Use a camera strap and zip pockets—boarding and light chop can jostle loose gear.
Use transit to avoid parking
Long Wharf is well-served by subway and buses; public transit avoids scarce downtown parking.
Windproof jacket
Blocks chill from sea breeze during the sunset cruise.
Comfortable walking shoes
Helpful for getting on/off the boat and brief street-level stops.
Camera or smartphone with strap
For skyline and waterfront photos—strap keeps it secure on deck.
