Guests may bring their own food and beverages; coolers and ice are provided on board for convenient refreshment. Experiences emphasize scenic photography, wildlife viewing including dolphin searches, and optional stops like a swim at Snake Island Sandbar where offered. Several itineraries encourage customization with local stops or eco‑focused exploration, and some private charters allow guests to request a preferred captain when available.
