Text your captain the moment you know (the number is in your confirmation). We'll hold the boat for up to 20 minutes — but your trip still ends at the scheduled time, so lateness comes out of your float, not the captain's schedule. The good news: the dock is easy to find, parking is close, and 10-15 minutes of buffer solves all of this.

We watch the forecast all week and make the final call on the morning of your trip. If conditions aren't safe or simply won't be enjoyable, we'll reach out to you directly and reschedule to any available date, free of charge — that's our Rain-Check Guarantee. You don't need to monitor anything or make the call yourself: if you haven't heard from us, your float is on.

If your group is under 8, usually yes — message us as early as you can so we can confirm and they have to sign the waiver.

Absolutely — cakes and Pink Boat were made for each other. One heartfelt request: our lounge is white and pink, and red velvet crumbs plus buttercream have strong opinions about upholstery. Bring a cake board or tray with a rim, keep it in the cooler until the moment, and we'll happily hand out plates and napkins. Candles are fine at anchor; your captain will tell you when.

There's a USB charging spot onboard — but it's one outlet and eight content creators, so we recommend arriving at 100% and tossing a power bank in your bag. Your camera roll will thank you around golden hour.

Yes. Bring water, a leash for the dock, and a towel if your pup swims. Just mention your dog when booking so we can plan the space.

Everyone aboard signs their own waiver — it takes about a minute on a phone, and we email the link ahead of time. Organisers: forward it to your group before the day, and boarding will take minutes instead of a paperwork party at the dock. Guests without a signed waiver can't board, so it's the one piece of homework that matters.
