Voyage Planning Tips for Day Trips
- Plan to depart 30 minutes before sunset.
- Multiply your planned travel time by 10 knots to estimate your travel distance.
- This gives you the distance (in nautical miles) you can expect to cover if you maintain that speed and return to port on time.
- Use this distance along with the table above to maximize sightseeing within your available time.
- Repeat this planning process for each trip, varying your routes, activities, and passenger interactions as much as possible.
