Children under the age of 13 are required to wear a USCG-approved life vest at all times during the tour. For comfort, we recommend you bring your child's personal life jacket as long as it is a Type 2 life jacket. Type 5 life jackets or inflatable type PFDs are NOT ACCEPTABLE per USCG regulations. The vessel is equipped with the required number of Type 1 children's life jackets.

There’s no dress code. Your favorite Hawaiian shirt and flip-flops are always a good start. We encourage everyone to dress casually and comfortably. High heels are not appropriate for boat cruising. We highly recommend comfortable boat-appropriate shoes. Be mindful of the weather, i.e., bring sunscreen (but do not apply spray sunscreen while on the boat as it creates a slipping hazard for others). In the cooler months, a jacket and close-toed shoes may be appropriate, but keep in mind that cold for us and cold for you may be drastically different. Snowbirds always find a way of surprising us! Be advised that you are boating, which ALWAYS offers an opportunity to get wet, so expensive watches aren’t encouraged.
