What the day feels like
How the day feels
From a brief safety talk at Dock A, Slip #32 of the Perry Hotel & Marina, your USCG‑licensed captain runs a fully private day on the water; there is no scheduled itinerary so the flow—sandbar stops, snorkeling on patch reefs, tiki‑bar pulls or an extended sunset run—follows your party’s energy, tides and weather.
