  • While we provide life jackets for everyone aboard, only those guests who are twelve years of age and younger are required to wear a life jacket at all times while aboard.

  • Our 2-hour cruises take place in greater Burlington Bay and Shelburne Bay of Lake Champlain, a cruising area of about 21 square miles. If conditions permit we may venture out around historic Juniper Island or other outlying islands. Determining our destinations and course for your private charter depends on a combination of weather, sea conditions, and your desires and interests. And we don’t need to spend the entire cruise “underway” (moving). Sometimes our guests like to enjoy a little time at anchor in a quiet cove.

  • Yes, but with some limits. We do our very best to accommodate your desires and interests, but of course safety is our highest priority so wind, weather, and sea conditions play a major role in determining our destinations and routing. And extended cruises are also available by prior arrangement.

  • Yes! We believe that time on the water should be enjoyed by all ages! By State Law children twelve and under must wear a Personal Flotation Device (PFD / life jacket) at all times while on the vessel. (We provide the PFDs) Young children must be accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian.

  • Yes, with some limitations. We welcome well-behaved dogs weighing 50 pounds or less. We do not allow pets inside the main cabin and they must be kept under the control of their owners at all times. Keep in mind that while some dogs are natural “boat dogs” others may find the experience disquieting and might be happier at home.

  • For insurance reasons we cannot allow swimming off the boat.
