Setting out for a day on the water, why not pack a picnic to enjoy?
There’s no better way to elevate a day on the water than with a perfectly packed picnic. Whether cruising, relaxing at a sandbar, or heading to a secluded beach, a little preparation can make your outing unforgettable.
Here's Gulf Stream Boat Club's guide to planning the perfect picnic:
Top Tips for Packing
Choose Finger Foods: Keep it simple with sandwiches, wraps, fruit, and trail mix. No utensils are required here!
Keep It Cool: If you don't have your own cooler to keep your snacks and drinks fresh, use our boat's built-in coolers--let your local member services team know if you need ice!
Waterproof Snacks: Use resealable bags or waterproof containers to protect food from splashes.
Stress-Free Options: Grab pre-made meals or pick up to-go dishes from local restaurants near our clubs.
