Just because you only have a two-hour reservation, our minimum reservation time, doesn’t mean you have to miss out on an adventure. Even a 2-hour trip can become a memorable escape with the right planning and activities.
Here is our guide for making the most of your 2-hour reservation:
Before You Go
Your reservation is made and you are ready to set sail, so now what?
Arrive Early and Prepared: To make the most of your time, get to the dock a little early. This lets you pack and set up without rushing. Make sure you have your essentials such as sunscreen, towels, refreshments, and other gear.
Plan Your Itinerary: Have your day’s plan ready before you go. Focus on activities that are easy to set up, such as snorkeling or fishing in your go-to spot. We have plenty of ideas with our various excursion guides for things to do around our club locations.
Consider Hiring a Captain: Want to fully relax? Let one of our captains handle the logistics and navigating. This option is great if you want to maximize every moment of enjoyment.
On the Water
The possibilities are endless when it comes to spending your 2-hours. Here are some of our favorite activities:
Head straight to your favorite nearby fishing spot and drop your lines for a quick catch experience. This can be a fun and efficient way to make the most of your time, especially if you know a few reliable spots.
Cruising
Sometimes, a cruise along the Intracoastal is all you need to relax and unwind. This approach lets you take in stunning waterfront views, enjoy the fresh air, and truly feel like you are on vacation.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is a great activity that requires little prep time. Stop by your favorite nearby spot and drop an anchor, jump in, and explore the underwater beauty! Check out our guides for the best snorkeling in the following locations:
After Your Trip
Hungry for more? Keep the vibes going with a meal or a round of dockside drinks! Many of our club locations have amazing restaurants on-site or nearby, so you can dine right by the water and keep soaking up the views. Check out our blog for some of our favorite dockside dining locations.
A 2-hour trip can be just as refreshing and fun as a full day at sea. Gulfstream Boat Club has everything you need to make your boating experience unforgettable, no matter how much time you have!
