Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
Slip 10W. We are the last booth on the right on MacMacmillan Pier. See Map Here
Where should we park?
There is a public pay to park lot at the base of MacMillan Pier, which is the most convenient location for parking. It does however fill up during peak season, so plan to give yourself plenty of time to find parking, and then get to the boat 10 to 15 minutes before it’s scheduled time of departure!

What are your COVID safety protocols?
We disinfect surfaces between sails, and screen our staff regularly.

Masks are not required. We have nothing but fresh open air!
Do we need to reserve tickets? How do we do that?
You can book online here, call 508-542-2996, or stop by the booth to book in person
Are pets welcome?
Yes! Dog friendly dogs are welcome to sail with us. We do ask that you let us know if you will be bringing a dog along with you, as we have two dogs of our own, and like to make sure proper introductions happen.
What should we wear?
The weather in Cape Cod changes regularly and quickly, so it’s always a good idea to bring layers. We find a windbreaker to be a key element of comfort on the water!
What should I bring with me?
You are welcome to bring a picnic and libations! We prefer that you steer clear of red wine, dark berries, and greasy sauces/items as these will stain our teak decks. Daysails can be sunny, so sunscreen (not the spray kind please! It eats through our varnish)and a hat are good ideas.
Are children welcome?
Children are welcome to join us on our family friendly daysails. We do not offer a childrens price on our sunset sail, and must caution parents that our sunset sails may feature adult themed conversations.
What type of beverages are served?
We offer Coke, Diet Coke, Gingerale, and assorted sparkling water. Perfect Picnic P-Town includes a variety of alcoholic options along with their food options which are available to pick up before boarding the boat, check them out here!
Can we bring our own beverages aboard?
Absolutely! Perfect Picnic P-Town includes a variety of alcoholic options along with their food options which are available to pick up before boarding the boat, check them out here!
Do you serve food onboard?
No, we do not, but you are welcome to bring your own picnic, or pick one up from our partner Perfect Picnic P-Town! (We prefer that you steer clear of red wine, dark berries, and greasy sauces/items as these will stain our teak decks.)
Can we smoke?
There is no smoking allowed on board the boat.
Will I get seasick?
Unlikely, we do our best to stay in protected waters, but if you know that you get seasick with the mere thought of being on the water, please take care of yourself and your comfort as you see fit. We do not offer dramamine or any other medications aboard the boat.
What kind of restroom facilities are on the boat?
We have a ‘head’ on board the boat, and also recommend that all of our guests use the public facilities on the dock before boarding as we have a relatively small holding tank!
Is the vessel handicapped accessible?
Sorry to say, no. We are more than happy to help those with limited mobility aboard, but cannot accommodate wheelchairs on board.
Is there shade?
Not always. Please plan to protect yourself from the rays with a hat and sunscreen.
Should we tip the crew? If so what's a good amount?
Our crew rely on your generosity. Like other service workers our crew feel great when you tip them 20%
