Will I get wet?

Usually you wont get wet other than some spray now and then. If you are planning on doing a beach excursion then yes you will get wet getting on and off the boat. We usually get our feet wet up to our knees and sometimes up to your waist when getting on or off the boat. You must be able to climb off and back on using the swim ladder and swim step, this will be very difficult for those with disabilities. If we get caught in the rain we do have ponchos for each guest to keep you dry. We also have dry storage for all your bags.
