Afternoon Charters

A great way to experience sailing and to see the city and explore more of the harbor. Stronger winds usually pick up after noon and give us more speed helping the boat go a little faster and is a bit more exiting. We can see dolphins as well but the waves and boat traffic can make it more difficult.

Additional Info

We accommodate small groups who enjoy sailing and we want you to participate as much, or as little, as you would like. Guests can sit back and relax or pilot the sailboat and be as active in the operation of the boat as they wish. Formal sailing instructions can be given as well. Sailing provides the perfect to atmosphere to relax and get away from it all.

Non alcoholic beverages are included with the charter, the fridge is fully stocked with Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite and bottled water. We have an additional refrigerator dedicated to your provisions or alcoholic beverages that you wish to bring. See the catering page for options ranging from gourmet sandwich boxes to 4 course dinners.

For that very special occasion, make sure you ask how we can help assist in your planning. We have dozens of romantic marriage proposals each year, and we go along way to make sure everything is perfect! We can arrange many different situations so your loved one will not suspect a thing, photography can be included to capture every moment.

Cancellation

All charter fees are fully refundable up to 7 days prior to departure for any reason. Just give us a call and we will issue a refund. Within 7 days there is a 50% refund or we can reschedule at no charge. There is no refund within 24 hours.

Cancelation due to weather is at the discretion of the captain at the time of departure. We do not base our charters off the extended forecast and always show up to the boat, 9 times out of 10 if the forecast says rain, it will be sunny and perfect to go sailing. We cancel less than 1% of our charters due to foul weather. If the captain chooses to cancel due to unsafe or unpleasant weather you will be given the option to reschedule or receive a full refund.
