IMPORTANT! TRIP PREPARATIONS
Check in 30 minutes before the trip.
Please bring your Confirmation with you when you check in.

To Wear:
Dress warm, layers are best. Dress warmly regardless of the time of year, since it is always cooler on the ocean than it is on land. Long pants with jacket and closed soft-sole shoes are best.

To Bring:
Bring along anything you will want to eat or drink during the trip. Snacks and sodas are available on the vessel or on the wharf. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats are helpful. Bring binoculars, cameras, and video cameras if you have them.

Seasickness: We do not go out if the seas are extreme or there is a storm. However, we will be on the ocean and there is often a swell and or wind chop. Seasick medication is recommended as a precaution if you have little boating experience. You can pick up an over-the-counter medicine at any drug store or purchase a packet of two tablets (Meclizine) at the shop as you check in. It is best to take the medicine the night before the trip and the 2nd tablet one half to one hour before the trip.

Cancellation: We have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If your plans change you need to call 24 hrs. in advance to cancel for full refund. We may cancel a trip at any time due to weather, under-subscription, or unforeseen circumstances. If unsure about weather, please call and we will advise you on the trip status.

Restrictions: Due to the nature of pregnancy and the motion of the ocean we cannot take pregnant women.
