- Is there a bathroom on the boat?
- Yes, there is a restroom on the boat.
- What should I wear?
- Warm layered clothing and rubber soled shoes are best. It is always much cooler on the ocean than on land, so it is better to be over dressed than under dressed. Once you become comfortable you can always peel a layer off.
- Will I get seasick?
- We sure hope not. Unfortunately, this is not something we can predict. While we can't recommend you take any medications, prevention might be a good idea if you are susceptible to motion sickness.
- Is the boat wheelchair accessible?
- The boat is not wheelchair accessible, however, we will do all that we can to accommodate customers with disabilities. There are stairs leading the way to the entrance of the boat, so if you're willing to allow our crew to help you up the stairs, we'll gladly do so.
- Where does my trip end?
- Your trip will end in the exact place that it starts from, the exact details of which you will receive immediately upon purchase.

- Absolutely. In addition to modern safety equipment (EPIRB, Life Floats, Life Jackets, etc.) our vessels are constantly maintained and inspected twice a year by the United States Coast Guard, a Division of Homeland Security.
- Are there life jackets on the boat?
- Yes, there are life jackets for every adult and child on board. The location of the jackets is clearly posted and verbally announced by the skipper.
- Do I have to wear the life jacket?
- No. You may choose to wear a life jacket if you feel you need one.
- How early should I arrive to check in before my trip?
- Please arrive 45 minutes before your trip begins. Remember to take traffic into account when making your plans, which is much heavier on the holiday.
- Where does the boat depart from?
- The boat will depart from the Santa Cruz West Harbor at Atlantic Avenue. You will get exact meeting location details after you purchase your tickets.
- Can I bring a cooler on board?
- Due to space constraints, coolers longer than 20 inches are NOT allowed.
