Adventure Tips

Bring Your Own Life Jackets for Kids Under 12

While life jackets are provided for passengers aged 12 and up, ensure you bring appropriate flotation devices for younger children.

Arrive Early for Smooth Check-In

Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your rental time to handle check-in and safety briefings without rushing.

Pack Water and Sun Protection

Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and hats as the sun exposure can be intense on open water.

Mind the Fuel Limitations

With a 21-gallon tank, the Mirage Cruiser supports a full day, but be mindful of your route to avoid running low on fuel.
