notify you if we need to cancel as soon as we make the decision. We will cruise in light rain, mist, fog, and passing showers. Dress appropriately. We will 

make every effort to notify you should we have to cancel in advance. You will 

be offered a refund for your ticket or a rain check towards another trip with us. We make every effort to get your scheduled cruise in.

No. We have assorted beer, frozen or on the rocks cocktails, wine, and other beverages for sale on board. Our liquor license does not allow any alcohol to be brought on or for drinks to leave 

from our vessel.

Sunscreen and sunglasses are recommended as well.  There is no full shade available on board. 

It’s always a bit cooler on the water so plan accordingly.
