Wear a shirt, light jacket, and shorts. Bring a hat, rain jacket or poncho, and reef-safe sunscreen. Wear easy-to-remove shoes; this is a barefoot sail, and shoes are stored before boarding.

Amazing we had such a good time. It was baby friendly the food and my whole family enjoyed breakfast and lunch. We got to see so many sea turtles and the dolphins and a stingray. The photographer on board was amazing as well and got some pretty cool pictures of us overall all the staff were really friendly and nice. I had such a great experience. I would 100% book again and recommend to families
