LOOKING AHEAD TO THE 2024 SEASON

As many of you are aware last season we were overwhelmed with demand for a limited number of our free public trips. The upcoming season, beginning in late May, promises to be more of the same.

In an attempt to manage expectations please keep the following in mind:

·    We are a small non-profit with an all-volunteer staff and crew.
·    All of our trips are free and all of our operating funds come from donations.
·    We cannot offer the type of schedule that a commercial cruise company does.

To manage the demand we ask that you schedule no more than one trip per season. The maximum size of party will be limited to four people. We will continue with the policy of requiring a $20pp deposit, refundable on board. A trip schedule will be posted on the website and announced via a SPLASH email. Online registration for each trip will open APPROXIMATELY two weeks prior to the trip.

Above all, we ask for your understanding and patience. Again, we are all volunteers helping to preserve and maintain a historic vessel. Please be kind.
