Tips
What to bring
Dress however you like, although casual attire is best for an outing on the water. We also recommend boat shoes, sneakers, or sandals with non-marking soles and a bathing suit and towel if you’d like to go for a swim. Bring along a light sweater, sweatshirt, or jacket as well, since it’s about 10 degrees cooler out on the water.
