After parking, please walk across the bridge to the marina entrance gate. Your captain will meet you directly at the gate for check-in and escort you to the boat.
If you are arriving via car service or rideshare, you may be dropped off by the EmmaJames apartment complex, on the side closest to the bridge, which provides easy access to the marina entrance.
