Picnic on the water: food and child safety

We did something similar recently and it worked well by booking a short slot, confirming a fridge or ice box in advance, and asking the crew to keep things mellow. We brought finger food and a small cake; they stored it cold and handed it over right before photos. Midway through planning I compared options on charterclick.com, checked capacity and inclusions, and picked a calm loop near sunset—more “sunset cruise experience” than open-sea sprint. Child sizes for vests were noted on the form, and the skipper double-checked on arrival. It felt casual and family-friendly, not a big production; think relaxed “ocean sightseeing tours,” just with your own picnic vibe.
