Tips & Advice
- Arrive at least 30 minutes before the 8:30 PM departure time to ensure a smooth boarding process and avoid missing the yacht.
- Dress in your best Halloween costume to fully embrace the spirit of the event and participate in the costume contest.
- Since this is a 21+ event, be sure to bring a valid photo ID for any alcoholic beverage purchases.
- While light bites are included, consider this a cocktail-style event; it's not a full dinner cruise, so plan accordingly if you need a substantial meal.
- Check the weather forecast and bring a light jacket or sweater, as it can be breezy on the water even on a cool autumn evening.
