Round up your crew and cruise the harbor for a couple hours. BYOB. These boats can fit up to 12 people but 10 is more comfortable.
Groupon discounts are plentiful. Start off with appetizers at https://www.harborside-pavilion.com/menus/food-menus/saloon-menu/ from 11:30 AM – 6:00 PM. Sunset is 7:09 PM so a 5PM departure or earlier makes sense. Appetizers at 4:00 PM, depart at 5pm works well. No experience necessary. Just need a sober driver. Sort of.
