Policies

Booking

The United State Coast Guard requires all infants and children, regardless of age, to be included in the six-passenger limit.

Cancellation

If something comes up well in advance of your trip, we would love for you to reschedule through our booking website.

Up to 48 hours prior to the charter, you may either:

reschedule for a later available date and no charges; or
cancel using the booking website and receive a full refund minus 10% of the total value of the trip.

After 48 hours prior to the charter, no refund is available. Not showing up at the time of your charter is considered a cancellation.

Inclement Weather

Chartering is an outdoor activity, and there is always the risk of imperfect weather.

Cancellation due to inclement weather is at the sole discretion of the Captain. Weather conditions unsafe for sailing include, but are not limited to, lightning, high winds, rain that obscures visibility, and high seas. The Captain will contact you as early as possible if he or she determines the weather conditions are unsafe for sailing.

PFD Policy

Sail Marblehead strongly recommends the use of our USCG-approved personal floatation devices (PFDs, or "life jackets") for all passengers while on board. We will provide a PFD to any passenger wishing to wear one.

Passengers twelve (12) and under are required by law to wear life jackets while on the vessel. Parents or guardians are responsible for determining if their minors between the ages of 13-17 must wear a PFD. The person booking the charter is required to share our PFD policy with all members of their group.
