If you cancel: Up to 48 hours prior to your scheduled cruise, you may reschedule your trip to a different date or a full refund will be given. If you cancel within 48 hours of your scheduled cruise, you may reschedule to a different date or receive a credit. Remember to please arrive at least thirty minutes prior to departure time. If you no-show or if you are late and miss the boat we will not provide a refund or credit. 

If we cancel: In the event that the cruise does not meet the minimum number of passengers to set sail, or if weather conditions are too poor to sail per company safety requirements, we will notify you as soon as possible by the telephone number or email address provided when the reservation was made. You will be asked to reschedule or if that is not possible a full refund will be issued. Our vessel is 75% covered so most of our cruises are rain or shine.
