Sun protection
Nothing ruins a day on the water quicker than a sunburn. If you bring extra layers, you can always take them off if needed. Better safe than sorry when it comes to taking care of your skin. Have plenty of sunscreen with you and apply often, especially if you are in and out of the water a lot.
Bring a Waterproof Bag
It’s best to keep a cell phone with you on your boating adventure because it can help you find your way back to the boat ramp or serve as an emergency communication device. The importance of a waterproof bag cannot be understated because it protects your identification, money, and electronics from water damage.
Advanced Reservations:
Peak season runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day. If you wait until the day you would like to get out on the water to make your reservations, you may very well experience great anxiety or not be able to go at all, as boats book up quickly during the summer months.
Please be sure to check reviews for several rental companies to find the one that best suits your needs.

Safety First!!
Drink responsibly. Don’t drink and boat or act foolishly.
Be respectful of other boaters and those in the water.
Always wear a life jacket. It doesn’t matter if you’re an Olympic swimmer – wearing a life jacket is one of the most important safety precautions for riding a boat.
