Question 1

What is included in the charter price?

Accepted Answer

Your bareboat charter price includes the boat, fuel for the standard route, and standard onboard amenities. A list of licensed USCG captains is provided for you to hire separately. A $200 refundable safety deposit is collected before departure and returned after the charter if there is no damage or excessive cleaning. Captain gratuity is not included.

Question 2

What is not included in the price?

Accepted Answer

Food, beverages, decorations, optional add-ons, and captain gratuity are not included unless arranged in advance. You can bring your own food and drinks, but please avoid glass containers. The $200 refundable safety deposit is separate from the listed charter price.

Question 3

What is your deposit and cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

A non-refundable reservation fee is required to secure your booking. If you need to cancel, contact us as early as possible and we will do our best to reschedule, subject to availability. The refundable safety deposit is returned after the charter if there is no damage or excessive cleaning.

Question 4

What happens if the weather is bad?

Accepted Answer

The captain makes the final weather call on the day of the trip. If wind, lightning, or sea conditions make the charter unsafe, we will first try to reschedule at no additional cost. If rescheduling is not possible, any amounts paid beyond the reservation fee will be refunded in full. Light rain, cloud cover, or personal weather preferences are not considered unsafe weather.

Question 5

What should we bring on board?

Accepted Answer

Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, towels, and a change of clothes. You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks, including alcohol, unless otherwise arranged. No glass containers on most boats; the captain will confirm any vessel-specific restrictions.

Question 6

Is a captain provided? Do I tip?

Accepted Answer

Every charter is a bareboat charter — you rent the boat and we provide a list of licensed USCG captains available for hire. You choose and pay the captain directly. Captain gratuity is at your discretion; many groups tip 15–20% when they are happy with the service.

Question 7

How many guests can I bring?

Accepted Answer

The charterer may bring up to 12 guests on board, for a total of 13 people aboard. Please confirm with us when booking so we can recommend the right vessel for your group size.

Question 8

How do I book a charter?

Accepted Answer

Message us on WhatsApp with your preferred date, start time, group size, occasion, and preferred boat. We will check availability, confirm the total due to reserve, and send booking details. Most bookings are handled within a few hours.

Question 9

Is the charter safe?

Accepted Answer

Every trip starts with a safety briefing, and the captain can change the route or timing if weather or water conditions shift. Life jackets and required safety equipment are on board, and guests must follow captain instructions while underway.

Question 10

Can I bring my own music?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The boats include Bluetooth speakers or an auxiliary input. Bring your playlist and the captain will help you connect once everyone is settled on board.
