  • Are there any restrictions?
    Safety is our top priority. To ensure everyone's well-being, smoking and illegal drug use are strictly prohibited during your trip.
  • Can we bring or consume alcohol on board?
    Yes, all alcohol is BYOB. State and local laws apply, and you must be 21+ to consume alcohol, with valid ID required. The captain reserves the right to stop alcohol consumption for any group or individual at any time for safety reasons.
  • What is your cancellation policy?
    To receive a full refund, cancellations must be made at least 2 weeks in advance. If you cancel with less than 2 weeks' notice, you can either reschedule for another available date (to include the next calendar year) at no additional cost or opt for a 50% refund. In the unlikely event that your voyage is canceled due to mechanical issues, you can choose either a full refund or apply the payment toward a future trip.
  • What if there is bad weather?
    For safety reasons, if the captain cancels the trip due to weather conditions like lightning, strong winds, or rough waters before departure, you’ll receive a full refund or the option to reschedule. If the captain cancels the cruise due to weather after departure, fees will still be charged on an hourly basis, at a rate of $50/hour, with a minimum of $75 for the first hour.
  • What should I bring?
    We recommend bringing the following items to ensure you have the best experience possible: Sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays. Sunglasses to shield your eyes from the sun. Food and snacks to keep your energy up throughout the day. Drinks to stay hydrated (don’t forget your BYOB options!). A hat for extra sun protection. Weather-appropriate clothing to stay comfortable, whether it’s warm or cool. A camera to capture all the beautiful moments. Your cell phone for communication and photos, along with a charging block and cord to keep your devices powered up. By bringing these items, you'll be well-prepared to enjoy your adventure to the fullest!
  • Do we need to tip?
    Tips are always appreciated! If your voyage includes a mate, a customary tip of 20% is suggested for their excellent service.
  • Do you offer any discounts?
    Absolutely! We provide a 10% discount for all first responders and veterans. Please reach out to us for more information on how to apply your discount!
