After you Book your Tour
New England EcoAdventures reserves the right to cancel a tour due to unsafe sea or weather conditions or maintenance needs which does not allow the boat to operate properly. In such a case, New England EcoAdventures will try to reschedule the tour if possible. If it isn’t possible passengers will receive a full refund.
All Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled departure date. If canceled less than 48 hours or if a no-show occurs the customer will be responsible for the full amount of the excursion.
As we have minimum space on our boats when a customer reserves a specific date and time that booking is held exclusively for that customer and no longer available to other customers which is why we need a minimum of at least 48 hours to potentially fill the canceled seats prior to the trip.
Evenings on the water can get chilly—wear warm layers to stay comfortable during the sunset cruise.
Charge your camera or smartphone to capture the bay’s wildlife and golden hour vistas.
Though the boat is stable, sturdy or closed-toe shoes are recommended for safe boarding and comfort.
Storage on board is limited; bring only essentials and avoid large bags or coolers.
Fort Gorges, visible on the tour, was built during the Civil War era as a coastal defense fortification.
