Our skippers are constantly checking the weather forecast, and we will give you as much notice as possible if we believe your sailing might be delayed or cancelled.

Should the sailing be cancelled we will either provide a refund for that sailing or move you to a different date. 

Should you wish to cancel your booking with us, please email us as soon as possible. Our cancellation policy is:  Cancellations done more than 48 hours before date and time of travel  will receive a refund minus a £10.00 administration fee per person per leg (£20 return per person) however  should you cancel after the 48 hour limit no refunds are made or when  passenger fails to sail as booked.
