Yes. Bring your own snacks, food, and alcoholic drinks for the yacht cruise. Do not bring red wine, spray sunscreen, tanning oil, or sunscreen with colorant.
Food and alcoholic drinks are not included. An optional stewardess is available for $50 per hour. Gratuity is not included; 15–20% is customary for excellent crew service.
Wear comfortable clothing and bring a layer, as sea air can be chilly. Shoes are removed onboard; wear clean white-soled shoes if you have a medical exception or another reason you cannot remove them.
I cannot thank Captain Trevor enough for his help, kindness & patience with me ( I called a dozen times asking dozens of questions!). I rented a boat to celebrate 2 friends 40th birthday. Captain Trevor was so accommodating during the booking process and leading up to it. We had Captain Wes on the boat and he added in every way to our celebration. The boat was beautiful & stocked with what we needed, the service was exceptional & my friends all had the best time on this excursion. I’m absolutely recommending Calico Yacht to anyone who wants to rent a boat for an event.
