Policy

Version 1.0

Effective Date: July 25, 2025

Everyone participating in Eclipse activities must comply with the following Policy.

Weather & Captain’s Discretion

Eclipse may cancel, shorten, or postpone any outing when sustained wind reaches 20 knots or more, the heat-index exceeds 103 °F, lightning is seen with thunder inside 30 seconds, visibility drops below one nautical mile, the Air-Quality Index is 150 (“Unhealthy”) or higher, or whenever the captain decides conditions are unsafe. Guests will be notified by e-mail, phone or in-person as reasonably possible (including right on the dock, at the scheduled departure time, or during a session) and may choose a full refund or a complimentary reschedule.

Rain on its own is usually not a reason to cancel a session.

Life-Jackets Rule

Every person on board — crew and guests alike — must wear a properly fastened U.S. Coast Guard–approved PFD from the moment they leave the dock until they return.

Kids on Board

Minimum guest age is 10 years.
Any child aged 10–13 must sail with one dedicated supervising adult and there must be one additional adult who is not supervising a child.
A parent or legal guardian must sign the minor’s (17y.o. and under) waiver before boarding.

Cancellations & Changes

Guests may cancel or reschedule without penalty up to 48 hours before departure. Inside the 48-hour window, guest-initiated cancellations are neither refund nor credit guaranteed.

When Eclipse cancels for weather or safety, guests choose between a full refund and a free reschedule.

Captain (Instructor) can make a sole decision to restrict and/or limit guest’s access to the boat or to a certain activity on board for safety reasons.

Alcohol & Conduct

No alcohol, drugs, or smoking are permitted aboard. Disruptive or impaired parties will be returned to the dock without refund.

Attire – everyone should wear attire appropriate to the outdoor physical activity and weather conditions, including: non-slip non‑marking footwear; sun and heat protection; rain and wind protection; hand protection (gloves).

Guests must follow all lawful instructions of the Instructor/Captain. Disruptive or impaired parties may be returned to the dock without refund.

All guests must stay alert, exercise safe behavior and caution while in the marina, boarding/off-boarding, on-board and remain in the boat at all times.

Accessibility & Inclusion

E-mail at least 24 hours ahead for mobility or sensory accommodations; Eclipse will confirm arrangements in writing and make every reasonable effort to provide safe access for all participants.
