Deposits & Payments
A deposit of $350/bunk reserved is due at the time of booking for any cruise.
The balance is due 6 weeks before the start of your cruise.
Payment plans are available – call to make arrangements.
Cancellation Policy
Due to our small size, cancellations or rescheduling of dates affect us significantly. We limit the number of guests to a maximum 24 passengers each trip to keep our guests’ experience personal and customized. As a small, family-owned and operated business, this means that every booking is important to ensure an exclusive, authentic experience, and excellent service.
All cancellations made 8 weeks before your arrival are eligible for a refund less a $150 per person cancellation fee*. For cancellations made on or inside 8 weeks before your boarding date any and all payments are non-refundable unless we are able to rebook the entire space. If we are able to fill the entire space, any payments will be refunded less a $150 per person cancellation fee. If your space is not completely filled, any payments are forfeited.
If you need to change your trip date and do so before your final payment is made 6 weeks before sailing, any payments made can be applied to a future visit. If the date change happens on or inside of 6 weeks there is a $150 per person change fee. Trip dates may be changed once. Following a change in trip date, the funds become non-refundable.
*In the case of natural disaster or pandemic, please understand that we are a micro-small business, and we are unable to issue a refund.
Trip Cancellation Insurance Recommended
Because the Schooner J. & E. Riggin serves a limited number of guests, we strongly suggest that you purchase trip cancellation insurance. If you choose not to purchase trip insurance and an unforeseen event keeps you from being able to travel to us, we will be unable to refund your deposit and/or paid balance as set forth in our cancellation policy. We do not offer insurance directly but do recommend Allianz Travel Insurance at 1-866-884-3556. Of course, you may use any travel insurance company you prefer.
