What should I wear?

A cold sailor is not a happy sailor.  We want you to be comfortable.  Dress in light layers as the weather can be cooler on the water compared to on the land.  Light blankets are available on board. Soft soled non slip shoes are best.  Bring swim gear in the summer months!

Can we bring food and drink on board?

Absolutely ! We just ask that no red wine for staining reasons. We have a full galley with everything you will need .Water ,ice and light snacks are provided.

Tipping is customary and greatly appreciated!  While 20% gratuity is average, tips should be based entirely on your satisfaction.
