THINGS TO KNOW: Maximum 5 people per trip. We do not plan on stopping on any of the Islands. This means if you need to use the restroom, you will do so off the back of the boat or on a bucket with a seat on top of it. A privacy curtain is available. You will be outdoors on the back deck, everyone else will be in the cabin with the door closed, with a curtain across the windows. It's safe!
CANCELLATION POLICY PLEASE READ: If you "no show" on this trip for any reason, full refunds or reschedules are not available. Personal illness, pet illness, traffic conditions, vehicle malfunction, or anything else unforeseen that prevents you from attending, is your business and your financial responsibility. We cannot absorb the opportunity loss of giving refunds to people who don't show, because this trip is costly to operate for us, and we must have our expenses covered. Full refunds are available with more than 24 hours notice before departure time, and in circumstances where weather is judged to be poor. Within 24 hours from departure if you cancel you can get a 50% refund, or pay an additional 50% of the purchase price to reschedule your reservation to a future trip.
