Frequently Asked Questions

Contract All | Expand All

Do I need Sailing Experience?
Bareboat Charterers need good sailing experience and will send in a resume detailing that experience. Our checkout team will go out with you for some docking experience during the checkout procedure. Crewed Vacation guests need no experience, just a sense of adventure!

Will I get seasick?
We sail in inland waters so we don’t have the sea swells that cause most seasickness. Some guests come with a patch and wear it for several days. Once used they find it is not necessary to re-apply.

How often do we get off the boat?
There is so much to explore on every island that we find ourselves hiking/walking, exploring historic sites, shopping in quaint villages and enjoying lovely resorts. No, we are never stuck on the boat unless we are underway!

What Do I Bring?
In addition to personal items you will want layered clothing with a fleece and waterproof jacket. Additional items are hats, gloves, two pair non-marking shoes, camera, and medicines. All linens, towels, and bedding are provided.

Do you take families with kids?
Children over three are welcome. They enjoy the beaches and swimming in the pools at the resorts, fishing and crabbing.

When should I book the charter?
We recommend that you book as soon as you know your preferred dates. August is a very busy month and we book up fast.

When should we arrive?
Crewed vacation guests board at 2pm
ASA class students board at 12pm.

Will we be able to see the Orca whales?
If the whales are in the area we will certainly see them and what an awesome sight it is! In addition to the whales we see eagles, seals and Dahl porpoise.
