Since we are located on the property of the West Bay Beach, a Delamar Resort you can park there for free. We are a block from downtown so you can walk along the T.A.R.T. which takes you along the bay to the marina safely. Lots of parking all over town!

Everyone must stop at the ticket booth to either check-in or pick-up tickets. You can not just walk past the booth and expect to get aboard. We confirm your reservation and then we give you a ticket to board. You’re more than welcome to bring food, but we ask you not to bring beverages due to the Liquor License.
-
We board 5 minutes prior scheduled time and ask that you to wait until then on the patio. We are unloading, restocking, cleaning, and preparing for your cruise so if the passengers stay off the dock until we board, it makes it safer for everyone. If you have a disability, notify the booth attendee and we will board you sooner.
If you have a beverage from the Holiday Inn bar, you need to finish by the time you step foot on the ship.
