Preparation steps:
- During the boat tour, the weather might get a bit chilly especially in November, do carry a light jacket. Make sure your camera is fully charged, as you’ll want to capture these precious moments.
- If one of you is prone to seasickness, consider taking an anti-seasickness tablet before the start of the tour. However, rest assured that the boat sails on calm water and the risk of feeling seasick is minimal.
- Lastly, while you are free to plan this meticulously, there’s also something undeniably magical about being spontaneous in this setting. Allow for some unplanned moments. A romantic walk along the harbor or a surprise dessert while on the boat can be the icing on the cake for this memorable date.
