Bring Sunscreen and Protective Clothing

Secure Loose Items Before Sailing

Wind and waves can easily blow unsecured belongings overboard, so keep hats, sunglasses, and electronics safely stored or tethered.

Arrive Early for Check-In

Arriving at least 15 minutes before your scheduled departure helps ensure a smooth boarding process and allows time for a safety briefing.
