Sunset or after dark, both great boat trips

Birthday celebrations with family after sunset. Got to see a side of the city you don’t see on foot. Really pretty it’s all the lights from the bridges and the streets, bars and houses. Knowledgeable staff and super friendly. Lovely little boat, cost and welcoming.
