Adventure Tips
Arrive Early for Best Boarding
Plan to arrive at the dock at least 15 minutes before departure to secure your seat and avoid last-minute rush.
Bring a Light Jacket

Mind Your Step on the Boat
Classic wooden boats may have uneven or slippery decks—wear non-slip footwear and take care moving around.
Note Dietary Restrictions in Advance
If you have food allergies or special diets, notify Sailing 360 ahead of the cruise to ensure suitable meal options.
