Dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a camera are highly recommended, and during cooler months a light jacket is a good idea since the interior can be breezy.

Seating is generally open and first-come, first-served. The vessel offers comfortable indoor cabin seating as well as outdoor deck areas for guests who want fresh air and ocean views.
