What is the dress code?
While we consider the boat cruise to be a sassy event, we do like to keep things classy. The dress code is considered cocktail. For men, this dress code calls for a dark suit with or without a tie. Or even a nice button down and nice pants. For women, short dresses that are party-ready.
Where is my ticket?
All tickets will be emailed to the email that you provided when you purchased your tickets.
When should I arrive?
The vessel will depart the dock at 6:30pm. It is imperative that you arrive beginning at 6:00 pm and no later than 6:30pm. Please consider traffic and parking and give yourself enough time to get to the dock. We regrettably cannot hold the boat for any late arrivers. In other words, the boat waits for no one!
