Six of us went out on the Liberty with Captain Herk - it was the best two hours of our weekend.
Three reasons why I would highly recommend doing this:
1) The Liberty: the boat was beautiful, clean, safe and comfortable. Our party included 6 adults and three children (all under 10 yrs old) - there was plenty of room to roam about and check out the scenery. (If it were later in the day, we might have brought a bottle of wine along and enjoyed a cocktail as we cruised Cape May.)
2) The voyage: Cape May has been our summer retreat for ever - it was fun to see the town from the ocean's viewpoint. We cruised past all the Beach Street beach-goers, Congress Hall, the lighthouse, concrete ship, CM Point and back through the inlet. The perfect length of time and exactly what anyone would want to visit via boat. We were even lucky enough to have a pod of dolphins come right up to the boat!
3) The price: it only costs $200 for 6 people. $33/person for two hours is an unbelievable price for the experience - especially compared to similar options in and around Cape May.
If you have a small group and want to take a cruise around the Cape, I don't think you'll find a better option available to you.
PS- You embark and debark from 2 Mile Landing, which has a cool "crab shack"-type of restaurant (with live entertainment in the evenings). You can go there before of after the cruise..
