The busy season is among us and with that comes fuller boats. This is just a friendly reminder we are prioritizing online bookings. Walk ons are still welcome when theres space. With that said, if you’re planing to take our busier runs (10am,12pm,2pm,2:45pm,3:05pm) it’s highly encouraged to book online. Again, walk ons are welcome but only if there’s space; getting on the boat first does not guarantee you a spot if we’re at full capacity with online bookings.
Thank you and please reach out if you have any questions. ☀️

** Updating to add some info about commuters:

Physical commuter passes are for walk-on use. We also offer online commuter passes for online reservations. This was mentioned earlier in the season when we posted a reminder about the commuter pass sale ending but lots of folks missed it. We are more than happy to transfer any physical commuter passes to be used online at no extra charge. The best way to do this is send us an email or give us a call. We will take the physical commuter pass(es) back and transfer them to an online version so that you can reserve online without paying for each individual trip.

Friday 05/23 cancellations:

Update: planning to run at 11am and then normal schedule after that.

We have decided to cancel the commuter and 7:30am run tomorrow due to the current weather forecast. The wind should dissipate quickly but the 11am run is questionable. We will update this post later this evening when we have decided about running at 11am.

Spring schedule starts today!
