Conditions on the water can change rapidly: bring a raincoat and warm, dry clothing in case the temperature drops or a storm moves in.
Protect valuables with a dry bag and secure loose items; the onboard GPS covers navigation needs while you should still bring a charged camera or phone in a waterproof case.
