To Tour or Not To Tour:
- Some guests prefer to listen to our narrated tour, while others prefer to socialize with some tunes in the background, it’s totally up to YOU! For background music, our vessels are equipped with Bluetooth technology, a sound system, Sirius XM and Pandora, or you can connect your own phone/playlist to our Bluetooth.
Parking Information:
- There are several parking garages, outdoor parking lots and on-street metered parking spaces throughout our neighborhood.
- The Freeway Parking Garage and Arcade Parking Garage, both located behind our building on Pine Street, offer very reasonable parking rates.
- We also recommend taking your hotel shuttle, a Lyft or Uber, or walking from your hotel, if possible. We are centrally located in downtown and most hotels are within a 15 minute walk from us.
Charter Cancellation Policy:
- We require 7 days advance notice in order to cancel your private charter for a full refund.
- We are happy to try to reschedule your charter for another day/time inside of 7 days advance notice, (subject to availability) but there are no refunds if we are unable to accommodate you.
Weather Related Cancellations:
- All of our charters typically run in light rain and other moderate weather conditions. We do not cancel charters due to inclement weather until approximately 60 minutes prior to departure, as the weather changes so quickly in New England.
- Our charters may launch a few minutes late if we are experiencing a passing storm/shower. We do not allow cancellations/refunds in this case, we simply ask that you are patient and wait it out with us.
- If we do cancel your charter due to weather, you may reschedule (subject to availability) or receive a full refund.
- We reserve the right to cancel our charters in the event of severe or unsafe weather conditions.
