Details & Important Info
Additional Experience Details & Important Information
What to Bring
Sensible shoes, sunscreen, hats and sunglasses. It's cooler on the water, so you may want a jacket or sweatshirt.
We have a liquor license, which means you cannot bring your own alcohol aboard. Beer, wine, soft drinks and snacks are all available for purchase on the schooner at reasonable prices. By all means bring your own food and snacks, but no coolers are allowed.
What if it rains?
A brief shower does not prevent us from sailing, but in the event of steady rain, strong winds, or thick fog, we may have to cancel your trip. In that case, we will reach out to you via the email address and phone number you provided, so be sure they are accurate. If your sail is cancelled, you will have the opportunity to rebook or receive a refund.
Who to Bring
The schooner is not ADA complaint or wheelchair accessible. Passengers must be able to walk up and down the marina ramp, and ascend five steps to get onto the schooner. The crew is always standing by to help, but those with mobility or balance issues should pass.
Infants and toddlers are not allowed. The boat is not that big, and an unhappy child can ruin everyone's sail. Once children have arrived at five years of age, they really enjoy the trip!
We love dogs — but they are not allowed on board apart from licensed service dogs. Please bring a copy of your license when you sail.
