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.
