Confirm meeting details by text
Organizer asks you to text immediately after booking to confirm pickup location; this avoids arrival confusion at the hotel dock door.
Dress in layers and bring a wind shell
Even warm days cool quickly on the water—pack a light jacket or sweater to stay comfortable during the cruise.
Manage motion sickness proactively
If you’re sensitive to rolling horizons, take anti-nausea medication 30–60 minutes before boarding and choose a mid-boat seat near the captain for the steadiest ride.
Use street or public parking to save on valet
The meeting point is behind the hotel by Brizo Bar; valet can be costly so plan for nearby public lots or street parking if available.
Windproof jacket
Blocks the harbor breeze and keeps you warm during cooler evenings.
Non-slip shoes
Stable footing on wet decks reduces slip risk while boarding and moving about.
Motion-sickness remedies
Pills or wristbands help if you’re prone to seasickness on small boats.
Compact camera or phone with good low-light ability
Captures sunset light and wildlife moments when natural light fades.
