Tips & Hints

1. It is customary to tip mates on a party boat. The amount of the tip should depend on the service provided. If you are pleased with the service 20% of the fare is an appropriate tip. If the service is not satisfactory please report it to the captain.

2. In the summer the 1PM trips on weekend may experience beach traffic. Please allow an extra 15 minutes. (Ocean Parkway usually has the least traffic). When taking Robert Moses Causeway DO NOT get off at Captree Island, get off at Captree State Park.

3. A light jacket and sunscreen are a good idea.

4. Monday and Tuesday are our least crowded days.
