Thank you for booking! We are excited to welcome you onboard for your cruise! **LOCATION & ARRIVAL** Please arrive 15 min before your start time. Be sure to plan plenty of time to get to the Marina. If you DRIVE or UBER, please set the Google Maps location to 100 Marin Blvd. Jersey City, NJ. This address is for private parking right in front of Islander, which is located at “M DOCK” at Liberty Harbor Marina. ***If you require PARKING for your car(s) you will need to first drive (or walk) about a block further up Marin Blvd. to the Liberty Harbor Marina office (white trailer on your right at end of street/security guard can guide you) to buy a parking pass for your car(s). They are $5 each. Place it on your dashboard. You can then return to the private parking lot at 100 Marin Blvd for parking closer to the boat.*** If you take the PATH train from NYC, get off at Grove Street Station - we are just a 10-min. walk up Marin Blvd. **LATE ARRIVALS** Guests are requested to arrive 15 minutes early to ensure an on-time departure. Any amount of time you are late for your cruise start will reduce your booked time. For example, if you book a two-hour sail at 6pm start and are 30 minutes late at 6:30pm, we can only make the duration of the voyage 1 hour and 30 minutes to 8pm end. This policy is created with respect to keeping other charters on time for guests who have voyages following yours. Please keep in touch with your Captain if you are running late. **BOARDING & AMENITIES** There will be a brief orientation to the boat and we will quickly get underway. As per the US Coast Guard, Islander can host up to 6 guests max (including children). If any guests are under age 12, they are required to wear a life jacket.   We provide a variety of sodas and bottled water for you.  We welcome you to bring whatever snacks and drinks you wish (BYOB). We will ID anyone who appears under 21 for alcohol. For food, think simple picnic-style, as you should consider space to serve – and the fact you are on a moving boat with wind! We have a refrigerator you can use, as well as plates, cups and utensils.   Please remember - we are a 100% NO SMOKING vessel. **WEATHER POLICY** The Captain (and only the Captain) will make the call as to whether a tour is cancelled due to inclement weather. We will proactively reach out to you as far in advance as the forecast allows. We do continue to sail in hot, humid weather. As for rain, we want your experience on Islander to be exceptional - and that does not mean forcing you out on a rainy day. If it is raining the few hours prior to your charter, we are happy to rebook/reschedule the cruise within one year, but it will not be refunded. If you wish to continue with the cruise, Islander comes equipped with a very large bimini (cockpit cover) and we also welcome you to enjoy our bright, spacious inside lounging area. If the National Weather Service declares a small craft advisory, or if we otherwise expect excessive wind or rain, we reserve the right to cancel a tour for the safety of our guests.
