Foul Weather Policy

It may be uncomfortable to schedule a trip out on the water and then find your local weather forecast is calling for rain and bad weather. Please feel at ease as you read through the foul weather policy. Safety and comfort is a top priority. Our goal is a pleasant memorable sail. If it becomes necessary we will cancel and give you the opportunity to reschedule at your convenience.

 
First, don't worry! It's impossible to tell if it will be raining two days in advance. We monitor the marine weather and local radar closely but a final decision to cancel can only be made at the time of the sail. If the day is a total rain out we will cancel and reschedule. You will receive a call as soon as it is practicable to make the decision. If the radar is showing rain through out the area and heavy rain is anticipated for the start time, you may look for a call approximately one hour before the boarding time.

 
You may think of the foul weather policy much like a Baseball game. We will cancel and reschedule for a total rain-out but we can also "play through" a light rain. The captain's priority is for safety and comfort of the passengers. We are happy to reschedule when it becomes necessary.

 
As you plan for your sail, you should come prepared for any weather. You may want an extra coat or warmer clothes than you might need on land. You should be prepared for any rain or foul weather. A light rain jacket and pants is good in the event of rain during the sail. There is no protection from the elements on the sailboat. Rain can be unpredictable and it's much more comfortable to have rain gear available if we get out on the water and it starts raining.

 
If a reschedule due to weather becomes necessary, you may check our availability online for a reschedule date. As well there are additional dates and times that may not be listed that become available for rescheduling.
