Refuel before return
Boats come with a full tank but renters are responsible for refueling; confirm the nearest fuel dock and budget for fuel and potential fees.
Plan around tides
Shallow flats and sandbars exposed at low tide are great for shelling but require tide-aware routing—check local tide charts before you go.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and water
Florida sun is intense; pack reef-safe sunscreen and plenty of water to keep everyone hydrated and protect marine life.
Assign an experienced driver
A 29-foot inboard handles differently than a small skiff—appoint one confident driver who knows basic docking and navigation.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and local marine ecosystems while you sun on deck or swim near sandbars.

Dry bag and phone pouch
