Local expert tips

• This charter works especially well for team outings, school groups, and celebration days because your group stays together and the pace is flexible.
• If you are planning a birthday, reunion, or wedding week event, consider assigning one person to coordinate timing so your group arrives and checks in smoothly.
• For corporate groups, a morning departure is a great way to keep the rest of the day open for meetings, resort time, or a group lunch afterward.
• If you are bringing students or a large group, remind everyone to wear a swimsuit under their clothes and bring a towel so boarding and snorkeling are quick and easy.
• Ocean conditions can change, so plan for a little spray on the ride and bring a light layer if you tend to get chilly on the water.
