How to pick a good boat tour
- Decide between a shared boat (cheaper, fixed route) and a private charter (your pace, your stops).
- Ask whether the boat has shade. An open deck for three hours in summer is hard work.
- Morning departures usually have calmer water; afternoons can get windy and choppy.
- Check the cancellation rule for bad weather. Good operators rebook or refund if they cancel.
