Practical tips

Before you board

Before you board: arrive 20 to 30 minutes early. Every guest gets a short safety briefing and a life jacket is available for every guest — the crew will point out where everything is.

What to wear

What to wear: comfortable, casual clothing and non-marking or deck-friendly footwear. Flat shoes are safer on a moving deck than heels.

What to bring

What to bring: sun protection (sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses), a light jacket if you are out in the evening, and your phone or camera — the views are worth it.

During the charter

During the charter: our trained crew handles the boat throughout, so you can relax. Let the crew know if you have any questions about the route or timing.

Seasickness

Seasickness: if you are prone to motion sickness, consider taking a precaution before boarding, and let the crew know — they can suggest where on the boat tends to feel steadiest.
