Do you run charters all year?
Yes, as long as there is not high wind warnings, fog in the forecast or a rough sea state.
Can I smoke on board?
Sorry, our boats are non-smoking boats. You will have opportunities to smoke before and after the charter on the dock.
Can we ride on the front deck?
While this would be fun and exciting it is not safe while under way. However if you would like to spend some time on the front deck then we could find a quiet cove to anchor and hang out.

We have lifejackets for all of the adults, we do have some for children but they are limited so let us know when you book and we will plan accordingly.

What does Otium mean?
Is a Latin abstract term, has a variety of meanings, including leisure time in which a person can enjoy eating, playing, resting, contemplation and academic endeavors.
Can I drive the boat?
Yes, once we are away from the dock.
What should I wear?
Dress for the weather, we do have a enclosed cockpit and salon with heat on Otium and will have blankets available for those that run a little colder. In the warm months we will open up all the windows to catch the breeze. On Lemonade and Serenity you will be more exposed to the weather, even in the warm months this can still be a little too cool for some.
Shoes should be sensible, heels while attractive do not make great boat shoes.
What if I have limited mobility?
We will make every reasonable accommodation to get you or your party member out on the water. However they will need to be able to walk up to 10 feet and be able to make it up 3 steps.
Are pets allowed?
Although we would love to have them aboard many of our other guest would not so we ask that you leave them ashore.
We will allow trained service animals please let us know upon booking.
