We cannot guarantee that every day will be sunny. Maine weather can be unpredictable and change very quickly, therefore cancellations will be made 15 minutes prior to the cruise. We will cancel for rain, thunder, and lightning in the area and high winds. We cruise in light fog and mist. Our captains are very experienced and understand local weather. Therefore, cancellation is at the sole discretion of the captain just prior to the cruise. Please consider your reservation upheld unless you speak to us directly. If we cancel (for any reason) and cannot re-schedule you, we will refund 100% of your reservation. Please be aware that there is no cover or cabin on our boats. For the health and safety of all of our passengers, please apply sunscreen before you board the boat.m description
