This gives you ~45 minutes to walk to Chin Lee (very close to the dock, less than 5 minutes walk) and shop for beverages/cheese/baguettes/etc and get back to the boat. The other boats are all 2hr 15 min+ in town and aren't convenient unless you plan to get food while in town also. In fact, for souvenir shopping we even used the 11am boat, but you really have to know what you want and be quick about it.
