Light up your boat for a night time tour.

Add a completely new element to your boat tour by giving the tour at night. Night time tours allow visitors to see the scenery in an entirely different way. You will want to light your boat enough so that the people can see each other and see their way around the boat. At the same time, you do not want so much light so that people cannot see the scenery around them. Find the perfect balance when you light up a boat for night time tours.

Instructions

    • 1

      Determine if you need battery-operated lights or if you can use traditional plug-in type lighting.

    • 2

      Purchase outdoor rope lighting. Make sure that you get lights that are specifically made for outdoor use, as these lights may be subject to weather that indoor lights cannot endure. Rope lighting is easier to string than other mini light types and will not get caught as easily on netting or small items on the boat, according to Splash Vision.

      Use lights sparingly. A single strand lining the edge of the railing and a few strands hung from the top of the boat to the bow will be enough to light the boat while still allowing tourists to see the scenery without being affected by too much lighting.

      Attach the lights using cable ties or duct tape as needed.
