We suggest the following:

1. Arrive early. We begin boarding half an hour before the scheduled departure time. Note, we will leave the terminal promptly at 9 AM for May through November sailings, and 2:30 PM for additional sailings June through September.
2. Bring sun protection. We suggest hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses to help protect you from the sun and glare out on the water.
   Wear warm clothes. We recommend layering clothes for any potential weather changes throughout the trip. It also is about 10 degrees cooler out on the ocean compared to on land.
3. Bring binoculars if you have them. If not, binoculars are available for rent onboard.
4. Curiosity at the ready. In addition to the beautiful sights and sounds of the Salish Sea, you will have access to various educational materials for the duration of your voyage, as well as commentary from and access to our professional marine naturalist who will guide you through the experience as we explore our waterways.
