Sorry, no swimming, diving or leaving the boat at any time except for when disembarking at the dock.

River Cruises:

Some of our River Cruises include stops at islands and sandbars. Once safely on the sandbar or island, you may enter the water and your own risk. Parents must keep watch over their children as there are no lifeguards on duty at any stops we make. It is advised to wear water shoes when exploring any island or sandbar as there may be sharp objects on the ground.

Fishing charters will be in the ocean and if you are known to suffer from seasickness to the point that you are not having a good time and most remedies don't do the trick, you may want to sit this one out or consider booking one of our River Cruises.

** Consult your physician to determine the best motion sickness remedy for you. There are non-medicinal remedies that work for some people such as seasickness wrist acupressure bands. Also, try to avoid alcohol the evening prior.**

That will be up to the majority or head of your party. If the trip is cut short due to seasickness, you will still be charged the full trip price.
