It all depends on timing. If there is a boat at, or approaching the YC dock that will be headed toward DHS as the person exits the YC, then it is faster to hop on that boat than it is to walk. And if a person begins to walk to DHS and they are near the Swan/Dolphin bridge as a boat approaches the dock servicing those two hotels, it is faster to hop on that boat as well. Walking is only faster if one has to wait for a boat to arrive. The break even point is about a 5 to 7 minute wait, depending on how fast one walks. Coming from the Boardwalk, it is definitely faster to walk. But coming from the Yacht or Beach, the boat can definitely be faster, depending on timing.
