Check-In: Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled departure time. This allows us to complete your check-in and provide a mandatory safety briefing before we leave the dock.
Late Arrivals: To respect all our guests' time, the boat must depart on schedule. Late arrivals may result in a forfeited booking without a refund.
Where to Meet Us
Bradenton/Sarasota Guests: Our boat located at Pier 77. Getting to us is easier if you park at Floridays restaurant, then walk to the gate and ramp directly behind the tiki bar. Look for the Rum Barge Adventures signs near the boat ramp.
Hampton Bays Guests: Please refer to your specific booking confirmation for the designated dock location in Hampton Bays.
What to Bring
Sun Protection: Even on cloudy days, the water reflects the sun. We recommend hats, sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen.
Layers: It can be significantly cooler on the water than on land, especially during our sunset tours. A light jacket or windbreaker is always a good idea.
Footwear: We recommend comfortable, non-slip shoes (flip-flops, deck shoes, or sneakers).
Camera: You’ll want to capture the views and potential wildlife sightings!
