Planning tips

Book weekend dates early in peak season — popular boats sell out fast.
Confirm what's included: captain, fuel, food, alcohol, and gratuity policies differ by provider.
Compare the same guest count and dates across sites for an accurate price picture.
Check cancellation policies before paying — they vary between marketplaces.
Arrive at the marina 20–30 minutes before boarding with soft-soled shoes and sun protection.
