FAQs

Do I have to wear a mask the entire time?

As of April 21, 2022, Facial Masks are OPTIONAL, but of course welcome, on all our vessels.

What is the air ventilation like?

All seating on the schooners is in open air on the outer decks.  The Kingston is very similar in that her entire back deck has wide open windows.  All seating areas in the main salons of the Manhattans will have openable windows, A/C with Hepa filters installed and partitions between seating areas.  You are also always welcome to go out to the outer decks.

How much space is between me and the next person?

This will vary based on attendees. Private ‘zones’ or private ‘tables’ will be designated and plexiglass patricians are in use between all indoor zones. 

Can I secure more ‘space’ on a public trip or book the boat privately?
