Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you request your dates.

Booking & Payment

This isn't an instant-book calendar — it's a request. Browse open dates, send us your details, and we'll confirm availability and follow up by email with your exact quote.

Week charters: a 50% deposit is due at booking, with the balance due 30–60 days before your charter. Day sails: a deposit is due at booking, and the balance is charged automatically to your card on the day of your sail.

No problem — let us know when you request your dates, and we'll skip the automatic charge and arrange payment directly instead.

Deposits are non-refundable. If weather forces us to cancel a confirmed trip, we'll work with you to reschedule rather than issue a refund.

Your captain makes the final call on sailing conditions. If a trip can't safely go ahead, we'll work with you to reschedule.

Aboard

Yes — every charter is fully captained. We don't offer self-captained bookings.

Day sails always include food. Week charters include a chef by default; if you'd rather go without, just let us know by email when you book.

Tips for your captain — and chef, if aboard — are customary in the charter world and are handled directly, in cash, between you and the crew. They're not part of the online payment flow.

Practical

The Adventure sleeps 8 guests, for both overnight and day sail charters. The Second Wind, once repairs are complete, has 4 cabins sleeping 6 guests — one cabin is reserved for the captain.

Swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen, a light layer for the evening, and a sense of adventure. One note on electronics: if you're bringing a hair dryer or other high-draw device, bring a 12V version — the boats' inverters aren't built for 110V appliances.

Every guest receives a safety briefing before departure.

You can request a specific boat, and we'll confirm based on availability. Right now, The Second Wind is available for day sails, with The Adventure available for both day sails and overnight charters.
