What to Pack for Your Huntington Harbour Boat Day

Pack Smart, Play Hard 🎒

The difference between a good boat day and a great one often comes down to preparation. We've helped thousands of guests have amazing experiences on the water, and we've learned exactly what makes a day perfect. Here's everything you need to bring!

🚤

Duffy Boat Essentials

✓ Cooler with ice – We provide coolers, but bring extra ice if needed

✓ Drinks – BYOB! Cans and bottles only (no glass)

✓ Food & snacks – Pizza, charcuterie, or finger foods work great

✓ Sunscreen – SPF 30+ applied before you board

✓ Sunglasses – The water reflection is bright!

✓ Light layers – It can get breezy, especially at sunset

✓ Phone charger – Don't miss those photo ops!

✓ Bluetooth speaker – We have one, but bring your own playlist

🛶

Kayak & SUP Essentials

✓ Swimsuit – You will get wet (and that's part of the fun!)

✓ Water shoes – Protect your feet at the launch

✓ Waterproof phone case – Essential for photos!

✓ Reef-safe sunscreen – Protect yourself AND the harbor

🍕 Pizza (delivered to our dock!)

Pro Packing Tips

🧴

Sunscreen Strategy

Apply 30 minutes BEFORE you arrive. Reapply every 2 hours. The water reflection intensifies UV exposure!

🧊

Ice Matters

We provide coolers with ice, but for longer cruises, bring a bag of ice to keep drinks cold all the way through.

🍾

No Glass Policy

Glass breaks and sinks—dangerous for swimmers and wildlife. Cans, plastic, and boxes only please!

📱

Protect Electronics

Even on Duffys, splashes happen. A waterproof phone pouch is a worthwhile $10 investment!

🧥

Layer Up

Evenings on the water get cool. Bring a light jacket or hoodie, even in summer.

Decorations Welcome

Celebrating? Bring balloons, banners, and streamers. Just skip the confetti—it harms the harbor.
