INHO, calling for reservations NEVER works. Unless you have REALLY BIG boat. EARLY in the day works sometimes. Caution, the deckhands at Leverick will only help if you ASK for it. There are too many "i know what to do" captains, that are offended if the lowly dock hands tell the the "right" way to do things. Even if the dockhands are WWAAYY better than the ego captain.
