Plan for a customary captain gratuity that isn’t included (the notes mention 15–20% and also 20%). Fuel is included for standard coastal cruising, but extended cruising or offshore use may add fuel charges based on actual consumption (excess fuel charges apply above 10 gallons an hour). Optional third-party power water toys delivered to the boat cost extra and are billed to your account.
You can bring food and beverages. Don’t bring red wine or glass beer bottles (wine and champagne are permitted), and avoid items that may stain upholstery.
