Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and salty. Plan for it to feel 10–15°F cooler on the water, bring extra layers, and consider a hat since shade is limited. Any footwear is okay.
The boat runs rain or shine unless it’s pouring. The boat has some cover but is mostly exposed; you can stand under the wheelhouse for shelter, but seating there is limited. Bring a rain jacket or foul weather gear. If wind, rain, or thunderstorms become a safety concern, the trip may be canceled or return to the dock; you get a full refund if the excursion is canceled, or if you return without pulling a trap and harvesting oysters.
