Contrary to popular belief, boats are actually much safer than cars, which inexplicably sink every time you drive them on water. Take a proper water road ride with today’s Groupon: for $45, you get a three-hour Inner Harbor dinner cruise from Spirit Cruises (up to a $90.31 value). Take a virtual tour of the fine watercraft and sneak a peek of an Inner Harbor panorama to whet your maritime imagination and envision an evening afloat. Should inclement weather mar the evening, Spirit Cruises has a caring, comforting refund or rescheduling policy.

The Spirit Dinner Cruise floats diners through an evening of succulent feasts for the ears, mouth, nose, eyes, and dancebuds. The dinner buffet lays out enough fine food to satisfy an appetitive pack of longshoremen with culinary degrees. Visit the salad station to get your pick of assorted greens; garnishes such as tomatoes, cucumbers, croutons, and real bacon bits; and balsamic or ranch dressing. Then float over to the carving station (meat only, no ivory) for a meaty crack at the roasted rosemary beef with demi-glace and horseradish cream and/or old smokehouse carved ham with a tangy honey-mustard sauce. Snag a hot entree—such as the chicken fontina or pasta italiano and a side of red smashed garlic potatoes—before jettisoning your inhibitions for a dessert of cheesecake or sweet chocolate mousse truffle. Panoramic windows create a historical waterfront backdrop as the friendly waiters don their singing caps and prove their serving skills match their melodic mastery. Cut a boatrug as a live DJ keeps the hits coming. Show your city off to visiting in-laws or take your sweetie out for a romantic night under the stars and finally reveal which one you're a visitor from.

Boating is a make-believe game for adults; it allows you to imagine your life as an adventurous business tycoon, a boat-dwelling showman, or a founding father commuting home by sea. Embark on your own maritime fantasy with today's Groupon from Spirit Cruises.
