What should I bring?

Bring your camera, sunglasses, a light jacket, a small towel, and a valid photo ID.

Will I get seasick?

Is this experience wheelchair accessible?

No. However, it’s circumstantial to each individual and their equipment. The pirate ship door width is 2 feet and 4 inches. From the main Marsh Walk there is a ramp down to the boat dock. The ramp's steepness varies as the tides ebb and flood throughout the day. There is also a step at the bottom of the ramp and about a foot and a half step up into the pirate ship.
