Guests sailing with us will be asked at the time of booking, and/or at the time of boarding, to review and acknowledge our liability policy. 

Assumption of Risk

I am aware that taking a windjammer cruise involves certain inherent risks, dangers, and hazards which can result in serious personal injury or death. With my booking, I hereby freely agree to assume and accept all known and unknown risks arising out of activities I participate in. I recognize and acknowledge that risks of participating in activities of any variety on board and excursions ashore can be greatly reduced by following crew safety instructions, and using common sense. 

Release and Waiver of Claims Agreement: 

For allowing me to participate in a windjammer cruise aboard any vessel owned by Wicked Schooner Company; I I agree to the fullest extent permitted by law, as follows: 

1. To Waive All Claims that I have or may have against Wicked Schooner Company arising out of my cruise or shore excursions.

2. To Release Wicked Schooner Company from all liability for any death, loss, damage, injury, or expense that I (or my next of kin) may suffer, arising out of any cruise from any cause whatsoever. Including negligence or breach of contract on the part of Wicked Schooner Company in operation supervision, design, or maintenance of any and all of their vessels. 

Arbitration: I will submit any claims arising from my cruise experience to unlimited, binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration must be commenced within one year after the claim arose. It will be in the town where Wicked Schooner Company’s office is located. Federal Rules of Evidence will govern the proceedings. A court of competent jurisdiction can enforce the arbitration award.
