Sail
Galveston Bay Charters pledges to do it’s best to insure that you
have a pleasurable and exciting sailing adventure. We believe in
safety first to make your cruise a very memorable one. To do this we
have a few rules that we ask you to read and follow.
Sailing
times and dates are subject to change or be rescheduled due to
weather conditions and tides.
Reservations
require a $50.00 deposit to secure your cruise. Deposit may be paid
by phone using a credit card. Should the weather be deemed unsafe
upon your arrival, we will give you a literal "rain check"
to another date, or refund your deposit in full. If YOU
cancel for ANY reason 5 days or less prior to departure, your
deposit will be forfeited.
All
charters must be paid in full prior to departure. If you pay the
balance at departure we only
accept cash and credit cards at the dock.
NO
GLASS ON THE SAILBOAT!
Please do not bring glass containers of any type, such as bottled
beer, drinking glasses, etc. Glass breaks when the sailboat is
a-rockin'! You MAY
bring bottled wine, champagne or other alcohol of your choice - we
will stow this for you in the galley or cooler where it can safely be poured
into plastic glasses. Beer must be of the canned or plastic bottle
variety. No Styrofoam
coolers period!!
NO
SMOKING
of cigarettes, cigars or pipes is allowed on the boat (Vapes are allowed). Illegal
drugs or substances are strictly prohibited by law
and if boarded by the Coast Guard you will go to jail (because we'll
report you!). We'll wave good-bye to you as you are carted off to
jail and then we'll enjoy the rest of your beers when we permanently
dock for the day. No weapons allowed on board.
If
Captain and/or Crew believe you are creating an unsafe sailing
situation due to intoxication or failure to comply with safety
requests, the sailboat will be returned to dock immediately without
a refund.
No children below
the age of six (6) please. Children
12 years of age and younger will be required to wear a personal flotation device while walking around the deck. Children are not
required to wear a life jacket if below decks.
DO
NOT
wear sneakers, sandals or shoes with BLACK
SOLES.
Wear only white soles, or non- marking boat soles - or just come
barefoot, that's what we do! NO HEELS OF ANY TYPE!
Bring
your own lotion sunscreen (no spray on sunscreen), towels,
change of clothes for swimming or Boardwalk stop, camera, music CD’s
and any special food or drinks you want.
You
may if you wish help with the operation of the vessel i.e. docking, steering, trimming sails, or just sit back and enjoy your cruise.
