The Fine Print

The details worth knowing before you step aboard.

Do I need a boating license?

Not with a captain. A licensed captain comes with every captained charter and can be added to any bareboat charter. To take a bareboat charter without one, you'll need a valid boating certification.

Is fuel included?

Yes. Half-day charters include fuel for up to 20 miles and full-day charters for up to 40 miles. Planning a longer run? Tell us when you book and we'll include it in your quote.

Is a deposit required?

A refundable damage deposit is required on every charter. The amount depends on the boat and is confirmed when you book.

Where do charters depart from?

Boston Harbor, Quincy, Newport, and Cape Cod marinas. Choose your departure when you request a charter.

What if I need to cancel?

Half-day charters can be cancelled free of charge with 48 hours' notice. For longer charters, your concierge will go over the cancellation terms when confirming your booking.
