Arrive Early

Use the Marina Restroom
Boats typically do not have bathrooms—use shore facilities before boarding or ask the captain about a mid-trip stop.
Bring Layers and a Light Rain Shell
Even in summer, temperatures can dip after sunset and lake breezes make evenings feel cooler; a light jacket keeps you comfortable.
Secure Loose Items
Anchor-time and fireworks reflections make sudden movement likely—stow cameras and loose cups to avoid lost gear overboard.
Non-slip shoes
Provide secure footing on wet boat decks during boarding and while anchored.
