    FAQs

    Yes. For groups over 6 passengers, regulations require a Bareboat Charter and you pay the captain and fuel separately in addition to your prepaid charter fee. Plan to pay an additional $100 per hour on arrival directly to your captain (cash, Venmo, or Zelle). Group size is based on the number of passengers at booking, and each guest counts as a passenger regardless of age.

    Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a camera/phone, and a jacket or sweatshirt (it can get chilly). If you plan to swim, bring a swimsuit and towel (towels aren’t provided). Water is provided, and you can bring your own food, snacks, and drinks. A cooler or small refrigerator is available; bring your own ice.

    Leave glass of any kind, red wine, messy foods, and pets/animals at home.

    We did the tour with Captain Brandon and he was very nice and accommodating. We went around emerald bay and had a great time. My only complaint is that it felt too short. I felt like we didn’t get to swim as much as I would’ve liked because it was time to head back, but he mentioned we can ask about extending the time next time. I think 3 hrs would be better than 2 if you really want to spend time on the water. I would def do this tour again just extend the time.
