Appropriate ClothingAttire ranges from casual to fancy, depending on your preference. Since we’ll be on the water, it’s advisable to check the weather and temperature for the day of your charter. CALYPSO offers several covered areas to keep you dry, and we recommend bringing along a long-sleeve option (especially evening cruises after the sun goes down) in case of wind. For footwear, we suggest ease slip on/off options.

Please note that the legal drinking age on board is 21 (as per state law). We kindly ask that you refrain from bringing red wine onboard to prevent staining the decks and cushions. We provide glassware, dish ware, and silverware for your convenience.

SeasicknessCALYPSO is extremely stable, but if you have a very high propensity of motion sickness, we recommend consulting with a medical professional before your charter.
