The Dual-Boat Party Package allows groups of 7–10 guests to enjoy a shared sailing experience aboard both Galene and Pisces at the same time. With a professional captain on each vessel, the boats sail the river together—sometimes engaging in friendly maneuvering, sometimes side-by-side—before anchoring to raft up for swimming (weather permitting) and enjoying a relaxed sail back to the dock. You can even do some boat swapping at the raft up! This package is an ideal way to bring a larger group on the water while remaining within Coast Guard passenger limits.

## FAQ

Do we need sailing experience?‍ ‍

No. The Party Package is fully captained and designed for guests to relax and enjoy the experience.

Can guests switch boats during the charter?‍ ‍

Captains may accommodate changes during raft-up if conditions allow.

Is swimming guaranteed?‍ ‍

Swimming is weather- and condition-dependent and always at the captains’ discretion.

Can the Party Package be customized?‍ ‍

Often yes—timing, emphasis on sailing versus relaxing, and special occasions can usually be accommodated.

Why two boats instead of one?‍ ‍

Each vessel is limited to six passengers under Coast Guard regulations; this package allows larger groups to sail together safely, comfortably and legally.

If conditions are unsafe or if the forecast calls for steady rain or unpleasant conditions, we may choose to cancel or reschedule your charter for a better experience. Cancelled trips due to weather are entitled to a full refund. The final decision on weather cancellations is made by the captain.

We offer free cancellation within 48 hours of booking. After that window, any customer-initiated cancellation will forfeit the 50% deposit.
