Guide
Boat cruise events run on a fixed boarding time that doesn't wait — getting a group to the jetty together and on schedule is the part that's easy to get wrong.
Boat cruise events along the Lagos waterfront — from Landmark Beach to the various jetties around Lekki and Victoria Island — run on a boarding time that doesn't wait for latecomers. Getting the whole group to the jetty together, with time to spare before departure, is the main thing that separates a smooth cruise day from a stressful one.
Cruise operators typically ask guests to arrive well before the actual departure time, and Lagos traffic toward waterfront locations can be unpredictable depending on the day. A Coaster booked with enough buffer built into the schedule means the group boards calmly rather than rushing up the gangway as the boat prepares to leave.
Cruise durations vary, and return times can shift depending on the water and weather conditions on the day. Agreeing on a flexible pickup window — rather than a fixed exact time — tends to work better than expecting the boat back to the minute.
Treat the return pickup as a window, not a fixed minute — cruise timing shifts more than a typical event schedule.
A Coaster suits larger group cruise bookings — birthday cruises, corporate outings, large celebrations — while a smaller private cruise for a couple or a small group may be better served by a Hiace.
