How to pick a good sunset cruise

Board about an hour before sunset so you are out on the water when the sun goes down.
Check whether drinks and food are included or sold on board.
Bring a layer. Even warm evenings feel cool on the water once the sun has set.
Smaller boats get closer to the coast; bigger catamarans are steadier in a swell.
