The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early for best boarding spots
Marina boarding is first-come for preferred rail seating—plan to arrive 20–30 minutes before departure.
Bring a light jacket after sunset
Even in warm months the wind off the bay cools quickly once the sun sets; a thin shell prevents chills.
Protect gear from spray
Salt spray and wind are constant near El Arco; use a waterproof case or a zip-lock for cameras and phones.
Consider motion-sickness prevention
The cruise is calm but open ocean swells can hit; take medication or use acupressure bands if you’re sensitive.
