1. Bring diapers as you can't be assured you will find the size the need
The trip won't be as much fun, but we were not too concerned about safety, we were the horrible parents that didn't even have life jacket requirement, but our cat was pretty safe boat.
We had 1 bag that was diapers, wipes and baby food and it was pretty much full. 2nd, 3rd and 4th trip when he was 2, we at least we were able to cut out the food and save some space. Looking forward to our next since he's potty trained, it is a LOT easier!
We never felt the trips we're not as much fun, it was just a different kind of fun.
