Dock wisdom

The Dolphin Fleet sells out summer whale watches -- book online at least 2-3 days ahead for July and August.

The Boston to Provincetown ferry (Bay State Cruises) is the ultimate day trip -- no car needed, 90-min ride, arrive in time for lunch and the sunset.

Kayak rentals from the Provincetown Harbor pier are available through Flyer's and other operators -- call ahead in peak season.

The sunset harbor cruise is best booked in advance -- departures are timed to the sunset and sell out fast on clear summer evenings.

Operators are real local fixtures — confirm current sailing times and prices with each operator before you go. Countdowns run on the real local clock and the sunset sail time is computed from tonight’s actual sunset.
