What to expect
You'll board at Man O War Steps and spend an hour cruising the harbour as light drains from the sky and building lights begin to glow across the water. The crew are friendly and experienced, but don't expect commentary—this is a straightforward cruise, not a guided tour. Bring a camera if you want to capture the transition, though remember that sunset timing varies by season and isn't guaranteed depending on cloud cover and conditions. The catamaran is spacious with room to move between indoor and outdoor areas, plus functioning restrooms on board.
