Adventure Tips

Book Early for Peak Dates

Reserve your yacht charter well in advance, especially during summer and popular holidays, to secure your preferred date and boat.

Wear Sun Protection

Even on cloudy days, UV exposure on the water is high—bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats to stay safe.

Bring Swimwear and Towels

You’ll want to jump in the lake at designated swimming stops, so pack swimwear and quick-drying towels.
