– These cruises are not run everyday and their scheduling depends on high tide. We only run swimming cruises when the water is clear, which is an hour before high tide and two hours afterwards. This is our policy for the quality and safety of the swimming experience. Check out usharbors.com to search dates and tides. Feel free to inquire for availabilities – Capt Chris
