Additional information:

• Starting at $150 per hour!

• We understand that even the best-laid plans can encounter squalls. Here’s how we handle changes to your itinerary:

  • Cancellation Notice: Should you need to cancel, please notify us at least 72 hours before your reserved day. We’d be delighted to help you reschedule your nautical adventure at no additional charge. If a cancellation is necessary, a $50 processing fee will apply.

  • Late Cancellation & Absence: Once your vessel is secured for your booking, it’s marked off the charts for other adventurers. Therefore, cancellations made with less than 72 hours notice, or if your party arrives more than 10 minutes after your scheduled departure, will unfortunately result in no refunds.

  • Nature & Vessel Readiness: In the event of severe weather or if your vessel experiences an unforeseen issue, we will have to cancel your voyage. The safety and enjoyment of our guests is our top priority. In such cases, we will gladly assist you in rescheduling your trip without any added cost. If rescheduling isn’t feasible, a $25 processing fee will apply for a full cancellation. Our compass is always set on providing you with a fantastic day on the water!

• All voyages conclude at the appointed time, and the vessel must return to port promptly to prepare for our next guests. Vessels arriving late will incur a charge of $100 for every 15-minute increment until the vessel is secured at the dock.

• Please note that all bookings are subject to a 11% Maryland Admissions and Amusement Tax for the vessel, a 6% Booking Convenience Fee and a 4% Credit Card Processing Fee. All other purchases, such as accessories, are subject to the 6% Maryland Sales Tax.
