Ray explains life in the saltmarsh to paddlers on a tour

 

Do I need to wear a life jacket?

Life jackets can be the determining factor between life and death in many boating accidents. According to the National Safe Boating Council, each year 700-800 people die in boating related accidents - 9 out of every 10 victims were not wearing a life jacket.

The US Coast Guard has reported a significant increase in canoe and kayak deaths over the past 10 yrs.(More than other boating accidents, including 'Jet-skis'!) Almost all of these incidents were individuals paddling alone. These statistics are disturbing.

We require our guests to wear their PFDs at all times on the water and encourage everyone else to do so as well. Because of these deaths there is talk of more regulation of small water craft which will translate to more fees and paper work for everyone.

The FINE PRINT

The day of the trip you can keep the charge on that card, pay cash or switch to another card. You will be charged 25% of reservation total if you cancel within 48 hours of trip or fail to show up.

Cancellation Policy - Trips will go rain or shine. Lightning or strong winds will cancel a trip. If we must cancel, you will not be charged.

For groups of 10 or more a 50% deposit is required to hold the reservation. Balance is due one week before trip. And non refundable after that point, unless trip is cancelled due to bad weather
