    FAQs

    Bring a valid ID and the credit card used for booking. Boarding begins 15 minutes prior, and late arrivals don’t receive refunds or delays.

    Keep noise and behavior respectful while arriving and boarding. Don’t loiter, litter, or play amplified music in the marina (amplified music is allowed after departure).

    You’re advised to avoid tie-ups with other vessels and not jump off or move between the bow and stern while underway.
