The most common reason a sail is cancelled is due to poor weather conditions that would make sailing uncomfortable and/or dangerous. We never enjoy canceling a sail, but if we must, we will call to inform our guests. We also encourage guests to call ahead the day of their sail to confirm their reservation and verify conditions. If this were to happen we would happily reschedule or refund your cruise.
Sailors often get wet when they sail. We have a covered area on board, but also encourage you to bring a poncho or rain jacket if it is forecasted to rain.
Yes! If you inform the captain of your plans, he can find you a quiet, isolated spot on the boat. Don’t forget the champagne!
