Weather & Cancellation Policies

New England weather forecasts are not entirely reliable and we do not cancel trips based on the forecast.

The Captain decides whether it is safe to sail close to departure time.

If the Captain decides to cancel because of weather, we will work with you to reschedule your charter or provide a refund.

If you choose to cancel your charter with less than 14 days notice, your deposit will not be refunded regardless of the weather forecast.
