What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

From the instant the vessel slips from the dock the outing is live — every hour on the water is counted and billed. The flow is straightforward: depart the slip, spend time cruising or anchored as you choose within the charter period, and return to the dock when finished, at which point the hourly billing ends.
