• COVID-19 FACE MASK POLICY - MASK FREE SAILING FOR VACCINATED PASSENGERS – That’s right! Fully vaccinated passengers with proof of vaccination are NOT required to wear a face covering. You MUST provide proof of vaccination to sail mask free. Don’t worry, there will be opportunities for unvaccinated passengers to remove their face masks and enjoy the fresh air as well. The captain will explain in detail where and when those passengers may remove their masks. With the exception noted above, passengers are REQUIRED to wear secure fitting face masks covering both their nose and their mouth. Our captains and crew are all fully vaccinated. As such, they are not required to wear face masks but will do so upon request. Masks are not provided, please bring your own. Passengers will immediately don face masks upon request from the captain or crew. If you are unable or unwilling to either provide proof of vaccination or wear a face mask, please do not book a charter with our company.
• COVID-19 SOCIAL DISTANCING - There is plenty of space on board our sailboats. Please spread out and maintain appropriate social distancing from the captain and crew when able to do so. Social distancing within your own group is your responsibility and at your own discretion. While maneuvering and sailing our boats, it may be necessary for the captain and crew to be in close proximity to you. As a result, the captain may request passengers to temporarily move to another part of the boat to maintain appropriate social distancing. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
• COVID-19 SICK PEOPLE SHOULD STAY AT HOME - All passengers are required to self-diagnose their health status before boarding and let us know if they are not feeling well. PLEASE STAY AT HOME IF ANY OF THESE CONDITION APPLY: SICK – If you are sick or not feeling well.

EXPOSURE – If, in the last 14 days, you have been exposed (or potentially exposed) to persons symptomatic of, or diagnosed with COVID-19, the flu, or any other potentially contagious disease.
• COVID-19 LIMITED ACCESS TO CABIN AND RESTROOMS - Due to COVID-19, access to the cabin area and spaces below deck is extremely limited and by permission only. Permission must be requested of and granted by the captain each time a passenger wishes to access the cabin area and spaces below deck. No more than one passenger will be granted access to the cabin area and spaces below deck at any given time.

We will provide a small cooler on deck in which passengers may store items to keep them cold. Due to COVID-19, the refrigerator in the cabin area is restricted to use by the captain and crew only.
