Start your weekend off with a fun relaxing boat ride. The 90-minute cruise departs 6:30 p.m. aboard the Aquarium’s unique research vessel, R/V Spirit of the Sound™ (the first research vessel in the country with quiet hybrid-electric propulsion). Aquarium educators will be onboard to point out sights and wildlife, but there’s no structured program.  Children over 42″ tall are welcome. Get back in time to enjoy a late dinner or an evening out with friends just steps away in the restaurants and nightspots of SoNo.
