To help you out

Safety

All passengers get life jackets. Please wear them—the water is cold even in summer!

Drive on the Right

Boats stay on the right. Pass others on your left. Watch out for rowers and sailors!

Be Ready

Have your ropes ready when mooring. Stay seated until the boat is fully tied up.

Don't Rock the Boat

Step on and off; never jump. Keep arms inside and do not sit on the roof.
