"All of that falls away when you are out on the water with the sounds of the wind, the waves and the natural beauty," which occasionally includes dolphin sightings, Ryan says. Passengers can bring their own lunch and beverages. There's plenty of time to take a plunge into the water from the vessel's swim ramp and paddleboards (life jackets provided).
