History
Small coastal cruises have long been part of the region’s summer recreation, offering quick access to shoreline habitats without major infrastructure.
Conservation
Because the cruise stays nearshore and is short, its fuel use is lower than longer tours; guests are asked to minimize single-use plastics and pack out waste.
BYOB and Cooler
Bring canned or boxed drinks and pack them in resealable containers; the operator supplies ice and a cooler.
Sun Protection
Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are essential; shade is limited on a short two-hour cruise.
Seating Choice
If you’re prone to seasickness sit mid-ship where motion is reduced and keep a light snack handy.
Pack Out Trash
Bring reusable drinkware and take all trash with you to minimize impact on marine habitats.

Protects against prolonged sun exposure on exposed decks.
