FAQS
What should we bring with us?
Sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, water, snacks or lunch, beach towels, camera, and cell phone (yes, there is cell coverage in most places on the water).
How early should we arrive before we go?
Details will be confirmed the day before.
Can we bring our dog?
Yes, dogs are always welcome.
Can we fish?
Yes. We do not supply gear, but you are welcome to bring your own.
Are life jackets provided?
Adult life jackets are provided. Children 12 and under are required by state law to wear a life jacket at all times aboard the vessel. While we do have life jackets for children, it is recommended you provide your own that may be more comfortable to wear all day.
What are some of the places we can go?
There are many ways you can choose to spend your day. If you embark from Hyannis Harbor, you can start by exploring Lewis Bay, drop anchor, and take a swim off Egg Island, a sandbar that appears for three hours on each side of low tide. Come back into the harbor for dockside Fish & Chips served right to the boat at Baxter's Boat House.
How much gas can I burn?
The amount of fuel depends on how far and how fast you go. For example, 3/4 throttle only burns half the fuel as full throttle, and tubing uses much more than sightseeing. The average half-day rental ranges from 3 to 10 gallons, and full-day use averages about 15 gallons. Marine fuel prices are higher per gallon than automotive gas. The Hyannis Marina Gas docks are not far from our location. If you don’t want to fill upon return or you are running out of time, that’s okay; we can take care of it for you (charges apply).
