| Frequently Asked Questions
How long are the rides?
Short rides and sunset cruises are about 1.5 hrs. Half days are
about 3.5 hrs in length. Full days are about 7 hrs. Debarkation
time for sunset cruises depends on the day, we try to leave about
1 hr before sunset. Night cruises can also be arranged.
What about weather?
Admittedly some days are better than others. If you wish to switch
days, it will be based on availability.
What if we get seasick?
Many more people worry about this than actually get sick. Its no
problem, if it is rough and you don't want to venture out, we can
just hang in Tashmoo or the Lagoon. You still get all the benefits
of being on the water without any motion. If there is a problem
we can always just come back in.
Will there be other people on board?
No, when you reserve the boat, you get the whole boat. We take up
to six passengers but will go out with one.
Is topless sunbathing permitted?
Yes. Once a staple of Vineyard culture, topless
subathing and skinny dipping continue to be enjoyed by many people and are loosely tolerated in certain
areas, although the popularity of the island and the massive influx
of newcomers some say threaten the "live and let live"
attitude that makes the Vineyard unique. Many of our trips are to Moshup beach, which is an
"unofficial" clothing optional beach. For those
preferring a more discrete experience, or the freedom to experiment,
a private charter is the perfect way to go. For the nocturnal adventurous, book a moonlight skinny dip cruise!
What can I bring on board?
Typically, you should consider bringing the same things you might
bring to the beach or an outing/picnic. Snacks, beverages, lunch,
towels, sunblock (non spray type), coverup, hat, glasses, camera.
Please wear white soled non slip shoes. We can provide ice, but
you need to let us know. If you have a special request, please let
us know, we will try to accommodate you.
My cruise is a surprise for someone, can I
arrange to have some things on board ahead of time?
Yes, we can arrange to have anything already on board, just let us know.
Do you offer fishing trips?
Typically, no. While we are fully equipped as a fishing boat, there
are numerous fishing charters available throughout all the island
towns. We want to be different. We want to offer the joy and unique
pleasures of boating to those who are not looking to go fishing.
It says "Design your own trip",
what does that mean?
It means you get to decide how you want to spend your time on board.
Our most common itinerary is to simply go out into the and enjoy
the water. However, you have many options. We can cruise to Menemsha
and get lobsters, or Edgartown harbor for lunch, Lagoon Pond or
Tashmoo, for solitude, Oak Bluffs harbor for parties and boat drinks!!..
We often go to CuttyHunk, a great day trip, or Lambert's Cove. Another
popular destination is the cliffs at Aquinnah and Moshup beach.
