A: Meet up time will be 11:30 am on Saturday, July 13th, 2024 and you will return at the same location for 4:00 pm

while there

Do you accommodate food restrictions?
A: Yes, we do. Please identify on the registration form any food allergies or sensitives you have. Our lunch menu will be a personalized meal plan specifically for our group from a personal chef.
Do I need experience on the water?
A: No, you do not. You will not be swimming in Lake Ontario. The only water activity is a leisure boating experience. There is a captain and a crew member that will be onsite and will provide specific instructions of the boat etiquette. This experience is specifically chosen for those who have either never done a boating experience, or have done so once or twice. This experience is suitable for all ages and a wonderful experience.
This is not a physical activity, and this is for adults only. This experience is not for you if you prefer larger groups, you get seasick too easily and sailing is not your thing.
What type of yacht is this?
A: We will be sailing in a Carver 59 Luxury Yacht. Space is not lacking on the main deck. This 3 level yacht fits 16 persons comfortably. With two surround sound systems we will be enjoying summer on this beautiful Italian inspired yacht. This yacht is a large wrap around flybridge that offers ample outdoor seating which can accommodate a large number of guests. This boat is equipped for any weather as it is completely covered and heated, and can easily offer both indoor and outdoor events. The yacht comes with a large lower deck accompanied with an off the kitchen restroom. The mid deck boasts a large entertainment area, accompanied by a large bar and elevated view overlooking the scenery.

COVID-19

What measures do you have in place for my safety during COVID-19?
A: We have hand sanitizers that everyone can use prior to getting onto the yacht. The yacht has been thoroughly cleaned by our supplier.
What measures are in place for the captain, crew member and host on the Yacht Experience?
A. Our team members maintains proper distance. They are also required to check their health and if they display any symptoms, are required to not attend the experience before they connect with any of our guests. All of our vendors that we partner with also have to undergo a screening and are not to attend work if they feel sick. Since this is a private group experience, this means only our group will be allowed on our boat for the duration of the experience.
Do I need to be fully vaccinated to participate as a guest on this experience?
Since this is a private group experience, you are not required to be vaccinated.
