Booking Notes
What to wear:
Sailors should dress for safety, comfort, and weather. In spring and fall, dress in layers and bring a jacket or sweatshirt; it can be cooler at sea than on land. There are blankets on board to help keep you warm if necessary.
In summer, bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. We provide spray jackets if the weather turns or you need an extra layer.
For safety and comfort, soft-soled shoes like boat shoes or sneakers are the preferred footwear aboard the Tara. You will be asked to go barefoot for safety reasons if you wear hard-soled shoes or high heels on board.
What to pack:
You’re also welcome to bring aboard your own food and drinks. We recommend keeping food to snacks and easy-to-eat items like sandwiches. Plan as if you are going on a picnic, as we do not have a formal table on board. Drinks can include alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
Check-in Details
Prior to your sail, the Captain will greet you on the dock, introducing themselves and our sailing vessel, Tara. All passengers will participate in a safety briefing, sign release forms, and, if desired or required, don life jackets. (See below for more information on life jacket requirements.) We’ll then climb aboard, get settled, and off we go!
While life jackets are not required for passengers over twelve, Tribeca Sailing strongly recommends the use of our U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets for all passengers while on board. Passengers age 12 and under are required by New York and New Jersey state laws to wear life jackets while on board the boat. Parents or guardians are responsible for determining if their minors between the ages of 13-17 must wear a life jacket. We carry and will provide a life jacket to any passenger wishing to wear one.
Cancellation Policy
We understand that no one wishes to go sailing in inclement weather. Your charter will be cancelled if the weather is inclement. Only the captain of the vessel determines if a charter is to be cancelled due to the weather conditions. Examples of inclement weather include thunderstorms, excessive winds and rainstorms.
New to 2024, we now offer a non-refundable 24-Hour Charter Cancellation Insurance. For an additional 10% at the time of booking, you may cancel your charter 24 hours before your scheduled start time for a full refund. This insurance allows you a one-time 24-hour rebooking.
Most of our guests have had a wonderful time, even if conditions are not perfect. Your charter will occur in light rain, cloudy skies, cold/hot temperatures, humidity and small craft warnings.
We track and monitor weather conditions hourly, and we will make every effort to contact you two hours prior to your charter if inclement weather will affect your charter. Sometimes, inclement conditions can come on suddenly and result in last-minute cancellations,
Please plan on arriving on time for your scheduled sail, even if the forecast calls for rain. Please note that weather forecasts are incorrect 99% of the time. We ask your patience with weather forecasts as they are very inaccurate. Charters will not be rescheduled due to weather forecasts of any kind.
