More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the dock as the motor hums awake and the harbor breathes around you — salt-laced wind, sails slipping past, and the island’s hills bright against blue. The boat peels away from Crown Bay, the water parting like a path, and soon turquoise shallows invite you to slide into a world of coral ridges and sea turtles.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Local reefs are sensitive — choose reef‑safe sunscreen and reapply in a shaded spot to protect coral and marine life.
Plan for seasickness
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication before boarding and sit mid‑boat where the motion is gentlest.
Confirm pickup location
Pickup options include Crown Bay Marina, Sapphire Marina Dock D Slip 20, or WICO terminal — verify which dock you’ll meet at ahead of time.
Secure small valuables
Bring a dry bag for phones and wallets; onshore stops may mean sand and splashes near the boat.
