Are you concerned about what might happen if you head out on the water and bad weather sets in?
The captain and crew will follow strict safety protocols to navigate through or avoid bad weather. Life jackets and emergency equipment are always on board and should be accessible to all guests. If severe weather is forecasted, the boat may remain docked, or the trip may be rescheduled for safety reasons.
Many party boats have indoor or covered areas where you and your guests can be moved to stay dry and comfortable during inclement weather. The crew will inform you about any changes to the itinerary or safety instructions.
Many operators have policies for rescheduling or issuing refunds if the weather forces a cancellation. However, always check the boat's policy before finalising your booking to understand your options in case of bad weather. You may want to consider having a backup plan, such as an alternative indoor venue or rescheduling options.
