The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a wind layer
Open decks get chilly after sunset—pack a light jacket to stay comfortable during the entire cruise.
Arrive early for boarding
Boarding can be brisk and the guide meets at a specific quay; aim to arrive 15 minutes early to find the meeting spot and the blue umbrella.
Movement and motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative medication or sit mid‑boat where motion is minimized; fresh air helps.
Cash or card for drinks
A small bar on board sells beverages but not food, so bring cash or a card if you want a drink.
