When should I arrive?

It is imperative that you arrive beginning at 5:45 PM and no later than 6:30pm. Please consider traffic and parking and give yourself enough time to get to the dock. We unfortunately cannot hold the boat for any late arrivers. In other words, the boat waits for no one!

Please email [email protected] if you are running late, however, the boat must depart at its scheduled time. Please give yourself ample time to arrive, allowing ample time in the event of traffic and transportation delays. Again, the boat waits for no one!

What if it rains?

Our event will go on! Part of the boat is enclosed.  Plus, we will still have plenty of food, drinks, and dancing!
