1. Arrive Early so you are not paying for dead time (unforeseen parking or access problems). 
2. Bring only what you will need on the water. You are not moving.
3. Plan Your Day: Decide what activities you want to do, when and where, and how long you want to spend in each location. Discuss your plans with the captain to ensure they are feasible.
4.  Make a List: Assemble any items you need for the day. Are you wakeboarding? Swimming? Wake surfing? Tubing?  Make sure you’ve got everything you need. 
5. Safety First: Familiarize yourself with the boat and safety protocols. Have the captain show you around and explain how to use all the onboard features. 
6. Bring snacks: Ensure you have plenty of food and drinks for the day. It can be helpful to have a cooler stocked with lunch, snacks, and beverages, plus some ice packs if needed. 
7. Take photos: With the captain on board, you don’t have to worry about missing out on great shots. Ask the captain if they mind photographing you while you’re on the water. 
8. Enjoy: Once you’re underway, all you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery. Make the most of your day and take in all the beauty and adventure the day has to offer.
