More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Step from the dock and the salt air hits first—brisk, clean, a little of the Atlantic daring you to slow down. The Sea Rocket cuts a low profile against the skyline as you settle into a reserved seat; fishing boats drift like markers and the harbor mansions slide past with the day's last light. Dolphins often arc near the bow, curious and quick, while the harbor lights begin to pin the shoreline into a ragged, glowing line.
