Guests relaxing in the cockpit aboard Our Passion

Before You Sail

What to Bring


A short list. We handle the boat; you handle the picnic.

On your feet

Soft-soled shoes or bare feet. Deck shoes are ideal; anything with a dark or hard sole is not.

An extra layer

More than you think you need. It is consistently cooler on the water than ashore, especially on a sunset sail.

Sun protection

Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen. There is shade under the bimini but the sun finds you anyway.

Food and drink

Whatever you like. Beer and wine are fine, though we ask that you leave red wine ashore. We do not supply alcohol or ice.

Swimsuits and towels

If you think you might want to swim. There is a stern platform, a swimming ladder, and a hot and cold fresh water shower.

Soft bags

They stow better than hard suitcases. Space below is generous but not unlimited.

Please Leave Ashore

Not permitted aboard


Anything deeply pigmented enough to permanently stain fiberglass and gelcoat: red wine, sangria, red juices, berries, cherries, beets, turmeric.

Marijuana and other controlled substances, which federal law governs on these waters. No smoking or vaping in any form.

Everything else you would normally bring for a day on the water is welcome. The FAQ covers the details.

Aboard For You

What we provide


A marine head, refrigerator and freezer for your use, a microwave, cushioned seating in the cockpit with seating on the bow and stern, a stern swim platform with a ladder and a hot and cold fresh water shower, and Starlink Wi-Fi with a QR code so your group can get connected quickly. Bottled water is aboard.

Coast Guard approved life jackets in every size, including children’s. Tell us each child’s age and weight in advance so we have the right gear ready.
