The local plan

A route with options, not a timetable.

Your captain chooses the cleanest water and least crowded stop for that day’s wind and tide.

1 · Meet by the boat

Arrive 15 minutes early. Parking and the exact slip are in your confirmation.

2 · Read the water

Your captain confirms the best route before the lines come off.

3 · Stay when it is good

Trips are flexible within the booked time; no forced photo-stop schedule.

4 · Return unhurried

Towels, a freshwater rinse and marina recommendations are waiting.
