FAQ

How is the event structured?
Guests are welcome to come and go as they please but are only guaranteed a sail if they sign-up before arrival. For walk-ins, we will get take down the name of your group when you arrive and get you out on the water as soon as possible. For reservations, we will work hard to stick to your scheduled time but ask for grace as sailing times vary based on conditions.

There will be light food and beverages available along with a few activities for the kiddos to keep them engaged while they wait. Our staff is on land and available to answer any questions you may have about our Youth and Adult programs, please look for our smiling faces and staff T-shirts.

Do I need any experience on the water or with sailboats?
No! This event is open to anyone who is interested in sailing, but no prior knowledge is required.

Can I bring my kids?
Yes, please bring the whole family! Sailing is a sport for all ages. The boats for Open House can accommodate up to 4 adults comfortably (or 2 adults, 3 kids), so if you have a larger group we will need to split between multiple boats. We have lifejackets for people of all sizes (infant-XXL)

Do I need to reserve a spot?
Yes, reservations are strongly encouraged.
