Bring a jacket, it gets chilly on the boat.

Got off at Port Authority and walked. For the return, took the shuttle to 34th st. Free.
Parking @ the pier is $30.00
The prices are fair for beer, wine, water & soda

Of course everybody likes to sit on upperdeck and there weren't enough seats.
Free buses take you from/to 34 St. Herald Sq. as well.
Being August dress definitely light and casual.
I had a great view standing at the railing on the downstairs deck at the front of the boat.
Took the LIRR into Penn and walked to the piers - took us about 20 minutes
These FREE shuttles are a great deal, esp. since this pier is tough to get to.
