Details to review before reserving
Trips are offered in 2- and 4-hour options; plan your outing length around how much time you want for swimming, snorkeling and onboard dining.
Bring warm clothing for wind chill, a swimsuit and towel for swimming, and suitable soft footwear (trainers preferred; no boots or heavy-soled shoes that might mark the boat).
On private charters you may bring your own food and drink; the operator allows alcohol in moderation and prohibits glass items. The MAVERICK 3 has a fridge on board to keep items cool.
There is ample onboard storage for bags and the operator notes that belongings will not get wet.
If the forecast predicts rain or high winds the operator will cancel, refund, or reschedule trips — check weather-sensitive logistics before you travel to the meeting point.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
