Conservation
Biscayne Bay supports seagrass beds and coral patches—avoid anchoring on vegetation, pack out all trash, and use reef‑safe sunscreen to reduce impacts.

Apply sunscreen before boarding
Deck cushions stain easily—per operator rules apply sunscreen onshore and bring reef‑safe sunscreen for reapplication.
Bring a small dry bag
Keep phones and valuables dry while you swim or use the floating mat; stowable in the provided cooler space.
Arrive early for parking
Free street parking is available but limited on weekends—arriving 30 minutes early reduces stress and lets you load drinks and gear.
Mind the boat’s rules for shoes
Guests are asked to place shoes in a basket before boarding—wear non‑marking, easy‑on footwear you can remove quickly.
Sunscreen (reef-safe)
Protects skin in Miami’s intense sun and prevents cushion staining when applied before boarding.
