​

Can I bring food? 

Yes, of course!  It is best to bring prepared food like sandwiches, charcuterie platters, or finger food.  You’ll be on a moving boat, so items can fall over easily and spill. Fried chicken is not allowed on board, the crumbs and grease are difficult to remove. Cleaning charges apply if the boat is left messy.

 

Can I bring beverages, including alcohol?

Yes, alcohol is allowed with the exception of red wine (which stains easily). We also provide a small cooler with ice and a champagne bucket (if need).

Are pets allowed?

Can I bring decorations?  

Yes, you may bring decorations.  Decorations may be hung in the interior of the boat only.  Please be sure that any decorations you bring will not distract the driver—or hinder his/her view—on the boat. No confetti is allowed. The use of duct tape, packing tape, or any other type of heavy-duty adhesive on the boat is not permitted. Kindly remove all decorations at the end of your rental.

​

Rain Cancellation Policy

We will reschedule or refund 100% of your charter fee if at 9am on the day of your charter, the iPhone Weather app says there is a 40% or higher chance of rain during the specific hours of your charter.  Weather apps are notoriously inaccurate especially several days out, which is why we wait until the day of the charter to make the call.
