Q. Are masks required?

No, we have ended all Covid restrictions and social distancing as of 2022. If you feel uncomfortable with this you can book at a later time.

Q. Are the boats handicap accessible?

No, they are not. There are steps to get on to the docks and also on to the boat.

Q. Booking Information

The best way to book a cruise is to go on to our home page:

https://www.shipnabottle.com

The Month calendar shows availability, if you see a date crossed off then it is fully booked.

If you make a reservation with a Groupon, make sure you input the correct Groupon REDEMPTION CODE, not the confirmation that you bought it or the voucher number but the actual Redemption Code.  If you have a voucher for a private boat (2 up to 6) or want to book a private cruise with Venmo, look for a time with ALL 6 spots open (6/6), select Private Cruise then you may come with up to 6. The whole boat will be only your party even if only 2 come. The private boat is the only way to get a cruise to yourself.

We do accept Venmo for payment. When booking a cruise select (Need to Pay-Venmo) and we will send you a request for payment. If you do not have a Venmo account, you can set one up once we send you the request by email at no charge. Venmo is just like a credit card but safer.

If you booked a 2-person cruiseyou will be joining another couple onboard.

In case of bad weather, you will be able to reschedule. Wait until you get a cancellation notice first.

It’s a 90-minute cruise that comes with a bottle of wine and appetizers. Private boats come with 2 bottles of wine and large appetizer plate.

You can bring anything you want to drink if you don’t want wine. You can also bring anything to eat. Keep in mind we do not have room for ice chests.

Children/infants count towards the maximum capacity. Children are only allowed on private cruises. Dogs are allowed on private cruises.

1000 lbs. max allowed on private boats.

We are open Friday thru Sunday.

We are also listed on AirBnB Experiences with a different schedule.

I hope this helps.

Gift Certificates at the same discounted price. Send us a message for more information.

See you soon!

Q. Do you guys put up the sails on the boat or is it all motor-powered?

We do not raise the sails. With the seating arrangement as well as bottles of wine and appetizers being served if the boat leaned to one side we would have a fiasco!

We do motor around the harbor on the sailboat.

Q. Does the cruise go out into the open ocean?

No, we stay in the harbor. This makes for a much smoother ride and prevents anyone from getting seasick!

Q. I want to change my reservation, how do I do so?

As long as there is at least 24 hours advance notice please make a new reservation directly on the website. Make the reservation the same way you made the original reservation. Then just “reply” to the email confirmation you receive and let me know to cancel the original reservation or send us a message from our Contact page.

Q. Is there a restroom on the boat?

No, there is no restroom on the boats. There are restrooms by the Auto Ferry that you can use but the 90 minutes you are on the boat you will need to hold it!
