🏊‍♂️ Swimming on your Cruise – Dive into a Safe and Enjoyable Swimming Experience with Our Long Beach, NY Boat Charters

Swimming from a boat in the serene waters of Long Beach, NY, offers an invigorating way to connect with nature. To ensure both safety and enjoyment, our experienced captain assesses weather conditions, tides, and other factors before approving swimming activities.


🌞 Ideal Conditions for Swimming

Our captain evaluates the following to determine the suitability for swimming:

  • Weather: Clear, calm days are preferred for swimming. Swimming is avoided during storms or when lightning is present. We always check the local marine forecast before setting out.
  • Tides: Swimming during slack tide—the period between high and low tides—provides the calmest conditions, reducing the risk of strong currents and ensuring a safer experience.

🛟 Safety Measures Implemented by Our Captain

  1. Secure Anchoring: The boat is firmly anchored in back bay areas before anyone enters the water.
  2. Swim Ladder Usage: A swim ladder is provided to facilitate safe re-entry into the boat.
  3. Designated Spotter: A crew member remains on the boat to monitor swimmers at all times.
  4. Avoiding High-Traffic Areas: The captain steers clear of busy zones to ensure swimmer safety.
  5. Visibility: Swimmers are required to use flotation devices to remain visible to others.
