Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Florida sun is intense on open water—apply broad-spectrum, reef-safe sunscreen before departure and reapply after swimming.
Hydrate and pack a light layer
A small cooler is provided but bring your own reusable water bottle and a windbreaker for spray and afternoon breezes.
Watch for low tides
Sandbar stops depend on tide—book around mid to high tide for fuller sandbars and easier beaching.
Secure loose items
The CraigCat is nimble and open; secure phones, sunglasses, and hats to avoid losing them overboard.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and the coral ecosystem under direct tropical sun.
