FAQs

Our private charters in Buffalo include the rental of the boat and all the crew (captain, deckhands/bartenders etc.). Our charter rates are based on the initial times listed. If your event requires more or less time we can work with you to make it happen. Catering and bar packages are available, but are not included in the price of the charter. Gratuity to your crew is not included. Please contact us to customize a package for you.

No, smoking and vaping are not permitted anywhere on our vessels.

Every vessel has some trips that cater to the family and children, as well as some trips that are 21+. Each vessel carries children’s life jackets as well as adult jackets as per US Coast Guard Regulations. Please note, while babies are allowed on board, we do not have specific life jackets for them. While we keep a close eye on children, it is a wise parent who manages their child and does not let it be unattended. Please see our Family Friendly Cruises for options that cater to families and children. We ask that the ratio of adults to children is kept one to five.

Infants under the age of 3 can join you for free. You are required, however, to book them an infant ticket at checkout. This ticket has no cost, but ensures that we have your baby accounted for on our manifest.

Our cruises are outside and on the water. As such, please dress appropriately for the weather of the day. And remember, it is always about 10 degrees F cooler on the water than it is on land.

Our cruises operate rain or shine, so please dress appropriately. That being said, our vessels do have covered areas to get you out of the rain. If the weather turns stormy, the captain may decide to cancel the trip for safety. If this happens, you will be given the opportunity to reschedule or receive a full refund. If you have not been contacted, however, assume that the trip is going, rain or shine. The final decision to cruise resides with us.  If, due to weather, you choose not to join us for a cruise for which you purchased tickets, your ticket or charter will not be refundable
