Frankly saying I don't know if locals actually adore it or not, it's just that majority of locals have to 'participate' in a boat excursion AT LEAST a couple times each year when they get a visit from a friend from another place, because it's the best, easiest and quickest way to introduce the city to a person and vice versa! :)

It is a good way to relax like a local and feel the breeze from the Gulf of Finland. Family with kids can go to the mini zoo and for a company of friends I suggest to visit an amusement park located nearby. There is a good restaurant "Russian Fishing" where you can catch a fish and then eat it grilled.
