This outing was very affordable. The wind gets a bit chilly, bring a hoodie. Sit on the Port side of the boat for the best sunset pictures. Don't be shy about going uptop to get good pics too. The live music was a bonus. It was a fabulous evening. Thank you.

We almost got on the wrong boat so that was a little hilarious. Once we found the right boat, we had a wonderful time. The music is a good mix of nostalgia and current songs. My kids had a great time. You can get drinks, snacks onboard and the bathrooms are very clean. Overall GREAT experience. Enjoy!! Advice: Give yourself an extra five to make sure you’re at the right dock.

The tall ship Silva was beautiful. When they raised the sails, with some help from the passengers (what an experience) it was majestic. There was a perfect chill in the air (sweater weather) the sunset and waterfront was beautiful. The entire crew was fantastic. Gary the musician on board made it a party, along with Murphys Pub.
