Question
How do I get there?
Answer
By subway: Take the A, C, 2, 3, J, Z, 4, or 5 train to Fulton Street. Upon exiting, walk east on Fulton Street until you reach the museum. Depending on where you exit, the walk takes between 8 and 15 minutes. By bus: Take the M-15 SBS or M-15 to Fulton Street. Note: On the M-15 SBS, you must pay at the bus stop before boarding. Walk one block east. By ferry: The East River Ferry, Water Taxi, and New York Waterway provide service to Pier 11 from Brooklyn, Queens, and New Jersey. From Pier 11, walk north on South Street for about 5 minutes. Once at Fulton Street, turn left. The Visitor Center (12 Fulton Street) is about a half block west. From the Staten Island Ferry, the museum is about a mile walk Northeast on Water or South Street. Parking: Parking in the area is limited. There is a parking lot located at Front and John Streets, just one block from the museum. Another lot is available at 294 Pearl Street.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Hmmm... Good question! Dress code is dressy casual but please wear comfortable shoes and keep things practical. It might also be a good idea to bring extra layer as it's always a little windy at the sea and the temperature might cool after the sunset. We'll keep an eye on the weather and give you an update a few days before.

Question
I only drink my moonshine, can I bring my own drink?

Question
Will there be food?
Answer
It will be a 2hr ride so feel free to bring any snacks you like to munch on while on board. There are many good restaurants near Pier 16, if you like to have dinner before/after the ride.
Question
What if I'm late?
Answer
Please don't be. We'd really hate you to not make it! Just to be on the safe side, we'll be the by 6:30 PM to take in the fresh sea air. The boarding will commence at 6:45 PM and the boat will leave 7:00 PM sharp. When we arrive back to the dock, we'll have max 15mins to leave the vessel.
