42' Catalina ailing Yacht - Two Hour Sailing Charter - Sunset Sail Available

Weather The weather can change quickly on the Hudson and oftentimes for the better. For this reason we wait until an hour before the charter for the Captain to make a determination on whether the boat sails or not. We are constantly keeping an eye on the weather stations, and radar to track how it progresses.  If we need to cancel, we will call you at least an hour prior to your charter and reschedule your sail to a mutually agreeable date and time at no cost to you. Please note that it is the Captain who makes the call - should you opt to reschedule of your own accord, rescheduling fees will apply. We cannot refund booked charters on account of bad weather. In short, we do not want to go sailing in bad weather as much as you do not, and we avoid doing so whenever possible. We are very reasonable when deciding whether to sail or to reschedule.   If your charter coincides with severe weather conditions, we can reschedule your booking to any available date prior to October 31st of  the same year.
