The sun skims low over shallow flats as a bright Tiki boat eases away from the dock, speakers warming up and a waterslide dangling over the stern. Onboard bar seating fits six; a USCG-licensed captain steers while an entertainer sets a lively soundtrack. In two hours you cut through calm bay water, past mangrove fringes and tiny barrier islands where dolphins arc and shorebirds quarrel with the wind.

Arrive early for check-in
Plan to be at Excursions Marina at least 30 minutes before departure—boarding closes 15 minutes prior and there is a $10 parking fee.
Bring sun protection
Open bay exposure means effective sunscreen, a brimmed hat, and UV sunglasses are crucial—prefer reef-safe formulas.
Pack a towel and change of clothes
The waterslide and spray can leave you wet; a quick-dry towel and light layer make the ride home comfortable.
Prepare for motion
If you get seasick easily, take preventative medication or sit mid-boat where movement feels gentlest.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin from prolonged sun exposure and avoids harming local marine life.
