Why might my sail be cancelled?
The most common reason a sail is canceled is due to poor weather conditions that would make sailing uncomfortable and/or dangerous. We never enjoy canceling a sail, but if we must, we will call to inform our guests. We also encourage guests to call ahead the day of their sail to confirm their reservation and verify conditions. If this were to happen, we would reschedule your cruise.

Sailors often get wet when they sail. We have a covered area onboard but also encourage you to bring a poncho or rain jacket if it is forecasted to rain. If there is lightening we will cancel the sail or head back.
