The 13-passenger boat offers a close view, but bring sun and weather protection.

“Very informative tour with interesting history of the port and the city, You get up close to the huge cargo ships coming from all over the world and see how our commerce and trade actually get done, and a great overview of the current ports activities. The tour lead was really well informed. There is no shade on the boat so come prepared for an hour and half in the sun.”
