The catamaran slips free of the dock and the harbor’s clatter falls away, replaced by the steady slap of hulls and the salinity-sweet wind. You feel the boat lift and widen the world — palms and condos recede while shallow reefs rise like secrets beneath glassy water, daring you to drop into their currents.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
UV is intense on the water—use reef-safe sunscreen and reapply after swims to protect both skin and coral.
Arrive with a light layer
Evenings and open-water crossings can be breezy; a windbreaker or long-sleeve is handy for the return trip.
Secure seasickness remedies
If you're prone to motion sickness, take preventative medication or use acupressure bands before boarding.
Protect valuables
Bring a waterproof phone case or leave valuables in the hotel—space on deck is limited and splashes are frequent.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects skin and prevents damage to coral ecosystems.
Water shoes
Provides traction for rocky exits and protects feet when stepping off the boat.
Personal snorkel mask
A well-fitting mask reduces fogging and increases comfort under water—gear is provided, but personal masks fit better for many guests.
Light windbreaker or rash guard
Blocks wind on open-water crossings and provides sun protection after getting out of the water.
