They have an area where you can purchase t-shirts. I cannot remember the hours as we did not stay any longer than the tour took us. I would call first and make sure they allow you to stay on board for sunset. If they do it will be a great view. They do have a vending machine with drinks and I did not see any signs saying no food allowed. I would call and check on that also if you are planning on staying for the sunset.
