    • Ride a high-speed vessel designed to cover more ground in about 2.5 hours
    • Join an open-party style trip with limited capacity on public tours
    • Dress in many warm layers, even in summer
    • Bring cash if you plan to tip the crew

    What's Included

    Things to know

    Not recommended for guests with back or neck problems due to occasional bumps on the open ocean. Children under 5, pregnant passengers, and anyone unable to board without assistance are not allowed. The operator may switch to another boat in the fleet based on demand or passenger counts.

    Cancellation Policy

    We have a strict no-cancellation policy.

    FAQs

    You cannot join if you are pregnant, if your child is under 5, or if you cannot board and exit the vessel without assistance. The operator also does not recommend this trip if you have back or neck problems due to occasional bumps on the open ocean.

    Dress warm and wear many layers, even in summer. The operator notes it can feel 30+ degrees colder on the ocean due to speed of travel, marine layer, and wind.

    Bring a winter jacket, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Bring cash if you plan to leave a gratuity for the crew.
