Please understand our dock space is reserved with a 15-minute window of time for boarding. Based on the dock schedule for the day, if your party is more than 15 minutes late, the boat may need to move off the dock for other reserved boats and will return to the dock for your group's boarding ASAP! This can cause a further delay of up to 15-30 minutes of your scheduled charter time.
