Describe the travelers honestly
Share the number of adults and children, swimming confidence, mobility considerations and prior boating experience. Ask about capacity and suitability for the specific vessel rather than assuming every boat fits every group.
Balance active and relaxed stops
Snorkeling may appeal to strong swimmers, while a scenic ride or suitable sandbar stop may better serve others. Ask whether activities are optional and how guests who do not enter the water are accommodated. Conditions always affect the final choice.
Ask about comfort before booking
Discuss shade, seating, restroom availability, storage, music, food and drink rules and permitted bag size. Confirm what equipment is provided and what guests should bring. Never assume amenities based only on a promotional photograph.
Make a flexible request
Send a preferred date, backup date, group size and ranked activities. Ask how marine-weather decisions are made and communicated. The captain’s safety decision should take priority over a fixed itinerary.
