Tips & Advice
- Consider bringing a festive-themed playlist to stream through their onboard Bluetooth stereo system for a personalized soundtrack.
- Since BYO food is encouraged, plan a selection of easy-to-eat Christmas nibbles that won't create a mess on the boat.
- Book well in advance, especially for private charters, as spots are limited and fill up quickly during the popular Christmas season.
- Dress in layers, as evenings on the water can be cooler, and bring a light jacket even in warmer months.
- Confirm your exact pick-up location with the operator when booking, as they offer flexibility near Runaway Bay.
