Illuminations cruise from Boardwalk question?

[Zazu]

When your illuminations cruise leave from the Boardwalk, where exactly does it pick you up? I have had people tell me it leaves from behind the community hall and others tell me it leaves from the transportation dock. If anyone has taken an illuminations cruise from this location I would appreciate your help.

Hi, <b>Zazu</b>. Welcome to the DIS, I'm just tickled that you found us and I hope you enjoy planning your trip here.

Are you familiar with the dock where the Friendship Launch docks? Go to that area and you will find your boat captain. The illuminations cruises depart from the same dock that the Friendship launch uses at Boardwalk.

To second what nativetxn said, we did one last August and it left from the Friendship Boat docks, right in the middle of the Boardwalk itself. Ours was the only pontoon boat there, so very easy to find.

The confusion may be that they dock the pontoons for the boardwalk back by community hall...and if you do a fishing escursion that is where you pick it up but for the illuminations cruise go to the main boat dock that the friendship boats use...

Have fun. The fireworks cruise is great.

Even though we booked our last cruise from the Yacht Club, we
were dropped off at the Boardwalk by the crew. They did not have to do this but once they learned that most of our party was from the Boardwalk, they were happy to drop us off.
