If 2 hours before the appointment, there is a 70% chance of rain for more than half of the trip, I’ll give you 3 options:
1- maintain the appointment
2- postpone for a few hours based on availability
3- get an in-house credit and reschedule for another day (not on a weekend), the captain must still be paid one hour as compensation.
Canceling will be at no cost only in case of thunderstorms, US Coast Guards advisory for small crafts, and winds over 20 mph.
If we advised you the weather will get better by the time of your appointment and you still decide to take a house credit and the weather actually is good at the time of your appointment, we reserve the right to charge a $150 rescheduling fee.
Aquarius Boat Tours reserves the right to make changes to the reservation in the event the reserved boat would become unavailable for any reason, or for unsafe weather.
If we have to downgrade because of a breakdown or any reason, the price will be reduced accordingly.
For your own safety and from our experience, renting a boat without a captain increases the risk of injury and damage.
Our boats must be operated by an approved captain, We’ll send you a list of approved captains for you to choose from.
For your own safety, the boat is equipped with all the safety equipment required by the U.S. Coast Guards. Passengers older than 6 years old are not required to wear a life vest while underway.
That being said, if you are more comfortable wearing the life vest while on board, you are more than welcome to.
Make sure to inform us if you plan to bring more than 1 child under 6 years old so we can plan the life jackets accordingly.
Most definitely! But please remember not to bring anything that could stain the seats. Stains on the seats will be charged.
