Barco Intrepid

The Intrepid is the value play of the bay: a two-hour sunset cruise with a live band, an open bar, and fish tacos included, at a price that makes first-timers suspicious and second-timers organizers. The band gets the deck dancing, staff circulate with pitchers so your cup rarely empties, and the whole thing runs on a fun-per-dollar ratio nothing else on the water matches. Worth knowing: drinks are included, there's a paid bar aboard as well, and the crowd is the entertainment as much as the sunset. Spanish is the boat's first language and it has never once been a barrier to a good time. Dollars and pesos both work.
