What to Bring

We want your day on the water to be easy and comfortable. Every trip includes your captain, boat fees, water and ice. Here's what to pack for the rest.

​

​

Every Trip

  • Reef-safe sunscreen

  • Hat

  • Sunglasses

  • A long-sleeve sun shirt (UPF) for all-day sun protection

  • Towel

  • Swimsuit

  • Light jacket (it can get breezy on the water)

  • Food, snacks and drinks (alcohol is fine), with no glass bottles

  • A soft-sided cooler, if you're bringing one

  • Cash for tips

  • Motion sickness medicine, if you're prone to it

  • A valid ID if you're using a discount

Gratuity isn't included in the trip price. If you enjoyed your day on the water, a 20% tip for your captain and crew is customary and always appreciated.

​

Going Snorkeling or Swimming?
