Adventure tips

Arrive 15 minutes earlyMeet the skipper at moorings 1523–1524 to allow time for boarding and the safety briefing.

Use reef-safe sunscreenThe captain may allow a swim stop; reef-safe sunscreen minimizes harm to marine life.

Bring a wind layerSea breezes can be cooler than the beach — a light jacket keeps you comfortable returning to port.

Secure valuables and shoesBluetooth and phones are welcome, but stow valuables in a dry bag and wear non-slip shoes for boarding.

Recommended gear

Sunscreen (reef-safe): Protects skin during sun exposure and reduces impact on marine ecosystems.
Swimsuit and quick-dry towel: Useful if the skipper permits a short swim stop in calm conditions.
Light wind jacket: Keeps you comfortable against sea spray and evening breezes (also useful in fall).
Non-slip deck shoes or sandals: Improves footing when boarding, moving on deck, and returning to the marina.
