Protocol for boarding boats:

Please don’t carry open food or drink onboard

Always ask before boarding a boat: “Permission to come aboard” is tradition, but you can also just say, “Can I come aboard?” or “Is it ok for me to come on?”

If there is a sign asking you to take off your shoes before boarding, please do.

Say hi and thank the owners!
