Sunscreen, Hydration & Shade: Summer Charter Tips

Stay comfortable so you can stay out longer.

A well-prepared summer charter group enjoying shade and sun in Key Largo

A summer day on Florida Bay is pure joy — as long as you come prepared for the sun. A little planning keeps everyone comfortable, which means more time enjoying the water and less time wilting. Here's our crew-tested summer checklist.

Sun smart

  • Wear a rash guard. It protects your skin better than lotion and is kinder to the reef.
  • Use reef-safe sunscreen. Look for non-nano zinc; skip oxybenzone.
  • Hat & polarized sunglasses. Cut the glare and spot more wildlife.

Hydrate & shade

The breeze can hide how much sun you're getting, so drink water steadily — start before you board. We carry coolers with ice and bottled water, and the Carolina Moon offers shade when you want a break from the rays. Plan a morning departure for the kindest light and calmest water.

Come prepared and a summer charter is bliss from first cast-off to final toast. We'll handle the boat; you handle the relaxing.
