Is the boat enclosed or air conditioned?
The lower deck of the Escapade is enclosed with large windows and has air conditioning. The upper deck is open air.
How early can we board the boat?
Please board 15 minutes prior to your boat’s scheduled departure, customers will line up on the dock prior to boarding time. You can board by showing your confirmation email to the crew or by providing the full name on the reservation.
What happens in the event of bad weather?
It’s difficult to give a definitive answer since every weather situation is different. In general, we do not cancel our tours for rain or cool weather because the Escapade has a lower deck that is enclosed. In the event of strong storms, strong winds, or other severe weather, we will make a decision at that time as to whether or not tours can go out. If we have to cancel a tour altogether due to weather, we will provide a full refund or change your reservation to a different date. If we adjust the departure time or end a tour early due to severe weather we typically will not provide a refund, but rather a “rain check” may be provided depending on the situation.
