What To Bring on a Boat Day in Boca Raton

Heading out for a Boca Raton boat day? Here's exactly what to bring, what we supply, and what to leave behind.

What We Supply

Boat, gas, cooler with ice, life jackets in every size, swim ladder, floating mat, Bluetooth audio, shade, and a thorough orientation. You don't need to bring any of this.

What You Should Bring

Sunscreen (reef-safe), towels, swimsuits, sunglasses, hats, a phone for photos with a waterproof pouch, snacks, drinks (no glass), a light layer for blue hour, and your playlist on a Bluetooth-ready phone.

Don't Forget

A backup phone charger, cash for tipping the captain (15–20%), a credit card for fuel top-up if your trip runs long, and your Florida Boating Safety Education ID if you're self-driving.

Leave Behind

Glass bottles (illegal on board), styrofoam, fragile electronics without protection, dark clothing in the heat, and unrealistic expectations about cell signal at the sandbar.

Family Add-Ons

Extra sunscreen, kid hats, an extra towel per kid, snacks they actually like, and a small toy or two for downtime on the cruise.
