-
How many people can fit on the boat?Our vessel comfortably fits 4 passengers plus our captain. Our private tours are designed for small groups looking for a personalized experience on the water. This allows us to make sure everyone is having fun, feeling safe, and having an awesome adventure day on the water!
-
What if I can't swim?Safety is our top priority, so we ask that all of our adventurers are comfortable and capable in the water. That includes knowing how to swim. When booking your tour, you'll be asked to confirm that all parties are capable swimmers. All passengers will be required to confirm this on their own behalf when signing their waiver.
-
Can I bring alcohol on board?Yes. We are licensed and insured for our guests to enjoy alcoholic beverages responsibly on board! Our captain will always remain sober, and is ultimately responsible for everyone's safety. This may mean that you will be asked and required to stop or refrain from drinking, if the captain has determined that it's no longer safe for you and others to do so.

We ask that you leave a few specific items that can leave stains on the boat behind, including: No: -Cheeze Puffs (or any similar orange dye snacks) -Red wine -Cherries -Food and drinks with heavy food coloring -Glass (for safety, no glass allowed, including wine and beer bottles) We appreciate our guests taking care when deciding what to pack.
