Frequently Asked Questions
When can we cruise out on the Marissa?
Cruise into epic vibes any day of the week!
Can I Bring My Furry Friend?
Absolutely! We’re all about those doggo vibes. Your pup is totally welcome—just make sure they’re supervised on board and, for extra safety, we highly recommend a doggy life vest. Got specific needs for your furry BFF? Just hit us up!
Do I Need to Know How to Drive the Boat?
Nope! Your Licensed Captain has it covered—from driving and parking to anchoring and docking. Our Crew is here to handle anything else that comes up. You just focus on the fun.
What’s the Capacity of the Marissa?
We can host up to 20 passengers on board! Please note that children must be 90 lbs or above for safety reasons.
What Should I Bring for My Marissa Cruise?
We’ve got the basics covered (bottled water, hot tea, coffee, and cocoa on request), but to make the most of your trip, bring:
+ View 10 More- View Less
Can we Swim, Snorkel, or Paddleboard?
100%! Just let us know, and we’ll hook you up with the gear. We’ve got a large swim platform and sturdy ladder for easy access to the water. Dive in and make a splash!
Can We Jump or Dive Off the Top of the Boat?
Sorry, but that’s a no-go. USCG rules mean the top level is for crew only. But no worries—you’re totally welcome to dive off the sides or the bow once we’re anchored and the engines are off.
What If the Weather’s Bad?
Honestly, it’s San Diego—hazardous conditions are pretty rare. We’ll only cancel if winds hit 25 mph+ or there’s an active lightning storm. If weather forces us to head back mid-trip, you’ll only be charged for the time you spent on the boat.
What If We Accidentally Break Something?
Accidents happen! Before and after your cruise, we’ll do a walk-around check to spot any pre-existing damage. We keep a credit card on file as a deposit for any damage during your rental. Our boat is built tough, if respect the space and you’ll be good.
How Do I Cancel or Reschedule My Tour?
Life happens—if you need to cancel or reschedule, reach out as soon as possible. We have a 7-day cancellation policy. The earlier you let us know, the better!
Can We Bring Food and Drinks on Board?
Absolutely! Feel free to bring your favorite snacks and drinks (including alcohol—just no glass, please!). We’ve got a large cooler and a small refrigerator for your stuff—just bring your own ice.
Can I Bring Alcohol on the Boat?
Yep! Bring your favorite drinks, but keep it moderate and responsible. You need to be able to walk around the boat on your own—no one wants to babysit, right? And remember: no glass—bare feet and broken glass don’t mix.
Can I vape or smoke on the Boat?
You can vape tobacco products, but NO THC vapes, and ZERO smoking of any kind, tobacco, THC or anything else. USCG regulations are federal—no exceptions. Leave those in your vehicle. Please be respectful of your other friends onboard, and check to make sure you aren't killing their vibes
Is There a Sound System on Board?
Of course! We’ve got a Bluetooth stereo system, so bring your playlist and be your own DJ. Crank up the vibes and make it a party!
