Safety

Safety is always our number one priority. Prior to boarding the ship, our professional crew will host a brief safety orientation for all passengers. Passengers are encouraged to ask any questions after the orientation.

Our captains are licensed by the United State Coast Guard and both ships are subject to rigorous annual USCG inspections. Dress is casual for all sails. Rubber sole shoes are mandatory; no heels please. All sails are family-friendly unless otherwise noted.

USCG regulations require that a ship maintain accurate records of all passengers aboard the vessel prior to departure. Charter clients are required to complete and return a passenger manifest to BaySail no less than 7 days prior to departure.
