It is always cooler on the water than on land, and we have warm blankets you can borrow. We recommend bringing layered clothing including a jacket, long pants and soft soled shoes (No high heels please). During the day, bring sunglasses, sun block and wear a hat. If there is any possibility of rain, bring a rain jacket, and lastly, don’t forget a camera and binoculars.
The forward half of our seating is in the shade, and the back half is not. If you have a preference, please let us know before boarding. Sunglasses, a hat, and sunblock are good ideas during the day.
If you’re nervous about getting sea sick, we suggest purchasing acupressure wrist bands (available at most drug stores,) or ginger caplets, which are an anti-nausea agent and are a natural alternative to Dramamine, which can make you drowsy.
Of course, children love being out on the water and we enjoy showing kids the creatures we find. Our boat has high rails for safety. We do ask that parents be responsible for their children at all times, and be sure they are respectful of other passengers and our crew. We have lifejackets onboard for children (Child size 30lbs-90lbs) but kids may find them uncomfortable. If you have a vest-style lifejacket for your child, by all means bring it with you. NOTE: Parents need to provide an appropriate sized lifejacket for infants under 30 lbs. We offer discounted rates for children under 12 years old, and infants under two years old are free.
