Booking Notes
What to wear:
Sailors should dress for safety, comfort, and weather. In spring and fall, dress in layers and bring a jacket or sweatshirt; it can be cooler at sea than on land. There are blankets on board to help keep you warm if necessary.
In summer, bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. We provide spray jackets if the weather turns or you need an extra layer.
For safety and comfort, soft-soled shoes like boat shoes or sneakers are the preferred footwear aboard the Tara. You will be asked to go barefoot for safety reasons if you wear hard-soled shoes or high heels on board.
What to pack:
You’re also welcome to bring aboard your own food and drinks. We recommend keeping food to snacks and easy-to-eat items like sandwiches. Plan as if you are going on a picnic, as we do not have a formal table on board. Drinks can include alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
Check-in Details
Prior to your sail, the Captain will greet you on the dock, introducing themselves and our sailing vessel, Tara. All passengers will participate in a safety briefing, sign release forms, and, if desired or required, don life jackets. (See below for more information on life jacket requirements.) We’ll then climb aboard, get settled, and off we go!
While life jackets are not required for passengers over twelve, Tribeca Sailing strongly recommends the use of our U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets for all passengers while on board. Passengers age 12 and under are required by New York and New Jersey state laws to wear life jackets while on board the boat. Parents or guardians are responsible for determining if their minors between the ages of 13-17 must wear a life jacket. We carry and will provide a life jacket to any passenger wishing to wear one.
Cancellation Policy
Weather and Cancellation Policy
At Tribeca Sailing, we understand that no one wishes to sail in dangerous weather. The captain of the vessel has sole discretion to cancel a charter due to inclement weather. Examples of inclement weather include thunderstorms, lightning, excessive or dangerous winds, and sustained heavy rain.
Most of our guests have a wonderful time even when conditions are not perfect. Your charter will proceed in light rain, cloudy skies, warm or cold temperatures, humidity, and small craft advisories. Sailing in imperfect weather is part of the experience.
We track and monitor conditions hourly and will make every effort to contact you approximately two hours before your scheduled start time if inclement weather is expected to affect your charter. Conditions can change suddenly and may result in last-minute cancellations.
Please plan on arriving on time for your scheduled sail, even if the forecast calls for rain. Weather forecasts are frequently inaccurate, and we ask for your patience with them. Charters will not be rescheduled based on weather forecasts of any kind.
If the captain cancels your charter for actual inclement weather, you will be offered a one time rescheduled sail or a charter credit valid through the end of the current season.
Booking Terms and Cancellation
All bookings are final, and charter fees are non-refundable except as expressly provided below.
Optional 48-Hour Cancellation Protection. At the time of booking, you may add 48-Hour Cancellation Protection for an additional 20% of your charter fee. This 20% fee is non-refundable. With this protection, you may cancel your charter by telephone or email no later than 48 hours before your scheduled start time and receive a refund of your charter fee (the 20% protection fee is retained).
Guests who do not purchase 48-Hour Cancellation Protection, guests who cancel within 48 hours of the scheduled start time, and guests who do not appear for their charter are not eligible for a refund. We encourage all guests to review the trip cancellation and travel protection benefits offered by their credit card company or travel insurer, which may provide reimbursement in circumstances beyond your control.
By completing your booking, you acknowledge and agree to this Weather and Cancellation Policy.
