The Charter boat will supply ice and cooler for all the snacks/food you bring for the ride.
When it comes to sun screens or sun blocks, water-based are the best choice pick for the boat. Other oil based lotions and tanning oils are not allowed as they create a mess, making the deck slippery, staining the fighting chair and couch cushions, contaminating the reels, rod grips and lines which in turn makes your grip difficult on them.
To prepare yourself best as the conditions are likely to change on the water, here are the things you should bring along:
Clothes that can protect you from the sun
Jacket, in case it gets cold (mainly in fall and winter)
Polarized sunglasses
Hat or Visor
Soft rubber-soled shoe (Other shoes including hard soled leather, flip flops and high heels are dangerous as they get slippery.)
sunglasses, hat, and sunscreen
