    Weather Dependent
    The activity usually runs in light rain and other moderate weather conditions, but your experience provider may cancel the activity up to an hour before the start time in the event of severe or unsafe weather conditions. If your provider cancels the event, you will be allowed to reschedule your experience or receive credit for a future event.
    What To Wear
    Participants are advised to wear jeans, a tee-shirt or sweatshirt, tennis shoes and to bring a jacket. If it's a special occasion, you can certainly dress up, just note that soft-soled shoes are recommended. Jackets are available on board, but yours will be much more stylish.

    For this experience, our partners are taking extra measures to prevent any potential spread of COVID-19. These measures include requiring guests to bring and wear a mask to enter. They will be selling sealed beverages (non-alcoholic, beer, etc.) on their experiences. At this time, the bar is credit card only. Additionally, no outside food or beverages will be allowed on their tours. These Covid-19 safety measures are subject to change.

    What is the difference between a catamaran and a real sailboat?
    A catamaran has two hulls instead of one, the result is a more stable ride. It's like comparing a Rolls Royce to a Dune Buggy.
    Will I get seasick?
    Since catamarans are more stable, most people don't have any problems. However, if you are very susceptible to sickness, you may want to take seasick pills or wear a patch.
    Will I get wet?
    If you're outside on the trampolines, there is a pretty good chance you'll get wet.  If you really don't want to get wet, you can stay in the cabin.  With a 360 degree view, you won't miss a single thing.
    How fast does the Adventure Cat 2 go?
    Under sail, the average speed is 8-12 knots (approximately 9-13 MPH).
