##About Clearwater charter sails accommodate up to 45 passengers. This total number must include all caterers, musicians, and guests, regardless of age. The 45 passenger limit cannot be adjusted at this time.

Sails typically include:

• Dockside orientation before departure
• Call for all hands to the halyards to help hoist the sails
• Clearwater’s history and mission
• A moment of silence and reflection
• Music by the crew and sing-a-longs

##What to Bring

• Mask if you're interested in coming below deck
• Reusable Water Bottles and Sunscreen
• BYOB (21+ only)
• Dress in Layers

Policy regarding behavior on board the vessel include but are not limited to the personal space of the Captain and Crew, who live aboard Clearwater as their home. Clearwater, the Captain, and crew's first priority is to keep The Passenger(s) safe, while maintaining the safety of the Captain and Crew. Please respect the crews' bodily autonomy and home, as well as, the personal boundaries of other Passengers on board. In other words, keep your hands to yourself. If you have any questions regarding what may be appropriate while on board please engage the On Board Program Coordinator.

Clearwater sails rain or shine, and it can be difficult to re-schedule a sail that has been cancelled due to inclement weather. We recommend taking the possibility of rain into account when planning your event.

##Don’t see a time slot that works for your group?

Fill out our standard inquiry form available to go through the traditional reservation process. Please only fill this out if you do not find a time slot that works for your group (e.g. if you would like to book a charter sail on a weekday in April-June or September-October)! We will be prioritizing groups that reserve slots through FareHarbor and will not be able to guarantee you a slot that works with the rest of the sloop’s schedule.
