Weather decisions are made by our experienced captains who have sailed on Lake Champlain for many years. Safety is our number one priority. We will cancel in the event of unsafe sailing conditions such as excessive wind or nearby thunderstorms. We also will cancel if we feel rain or choppy lake conditions will make for an uncomfortable sail.
In the event of a weather cancellation, you will receive a full refund or can move your reservation to another day.
