Adventure Tips

Book Early for Best Seats

Reservations fill up quickly during peak season, so book your spot well in advance to secure the best views on the boat.

Bring a Light Jacket

Evenings on the water can get breezy after sunset, so a light jacket or wrap is recommended for comfort.

Protect Against Sun Exposure

Wear sunscreen and sunglasses before boarding, as the sun can be strong before it sets over the Gulf.

Motion Sickness Precautions

If you are prone to seasickness, consider taking medication beforehand as gentle waves may occur during the cruise.
