What type of electric connections do Sunsail charter boats have? We are bringing our I-Pod and battery chargers for our video cameras and stuff like that. Do we need bring some kind of connection?

You'll need a small inverter to plug into the 12 volt cigarette lighter unless you're chartering a cat with A/C and will have a 120V generator.

depends on the boat

contact sunsail and ask them what you will need. They will be very helpful.

You have 1 or sometimes 2 12vdc cigarette lighters. You can plug in an inverter, but this can suck a lot of power just to charge an ipod. Instead get the auto accesory option for your ipod, that allows you to plug direct into a cigaratte lighter (in your car & boat its the same). When I go to sunsail I bring. (1) Radio Shack 3 sway splitter, with extension cord, for the cigaratte lighter, so I can plug in more than one item. (2) 150 watt inverter. To charge my daughters portable DVD player, when the engine is running, and run the few other A/C items I have. (3) Various AUTO accesories for my other electronics so I can plug direct to 12vdc with little power consumption (e.g. my cell phone, iPod, blackberry)
