CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL

WEAPONS ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED

Weapons on any kind are strictly prohibited!  Guns, knives, or weapons of any kind are NOT allowed on board our vessels at any time.  Bringing any of these prohibited items aboard may result in a non-refundable, early termination of your charter.

ANIMALS ARE PROHIBITED

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate animals of any type.

SWIMMING

Swimming may be permitted on charters of 3 hours or longer.  Swimming is not guaranteed and is at the captain's discretion. If swimming is deemed permissible by the captain, every passenger on board will be required to sign a waiver & release prior to swimming.  Swimming will not be allowed after the departure time of our Sunset Sail scheduled for the same day.  SWIMMING IS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Food and beverages may be consumed on deck.  Please clean up any spilled food or beverage and take your garbage with you.  A cleaning fee may be assessed for excessive spillage.

SEASICKNESS/MOTION SICKNESS

Any person that experiences seasickness must remain on deck.  The cabin area below deck is NOT an appropriate place for any person to deal with seasickness.  A cleaning fee will be assessed for any person vomiting anywhere in the below deck cabin area of the sailboat, including the “head”/bathroom. 

GALLEY STOVE AND SINK

The galley stove onboard our sailboat is NOT for use by customers.

The sinks on board our boats drain directly into the lake and are NOT intended for food prep nor for disposing of unwanted items.  None of the sinks have garbage disposals.  Please do NOT treat our sinks like you treat your kitchen sink.  They are NOT the same.

CLEANING FEES

Cleaning fees, if applicable, will be equivalent to the standard, full price of your charter.

LATE ARRIVALS

The late arrival of customers and guests may result in a shortened charter sail without refund nor adjustment to price.
