Deposit & Cancellation Policy
*
Deposits are non-refundable. We understand that life happens and things come up. Should you need to cancel or reschedule, we require at least 8 days from date of charter written notification for a refund of non-deposit payments. Cancellations within seven days will be refunded 50% of non-deposit payment. Cancellations within 48 hours of check-in and no-shows will not be refunded. COVID-19 POLICY UPDATE If your travel plans are interrupted due to COVID-19 related travel restrictions, or if we need to cancel your trip due to restrictions in our area, you will receive a full refund (minus deposit and any payment / refund processing fees) Deposit payments can then be used toward any future QMT trip.
I agree
Weather Policy
*
Q+M Travels reserves the right to alter planned itinerary or reschedule any booking due to bad weather. The Captain has the final decision on all matters of safety, and has the right to cut a trip short and return to the safety of the dock or anchorage if he/she deems the weather conditions to be dangerous. We keep a very close eye on weather forecasts and can usually make a call 48 hours in advance. Your safety and the safety of Esprit and her crew are our top priority. Trips will not be refunded due to bad weather, but can be rescheduled for the same type of booking at no additional cost.
I agree
Captain's Authority
*
Our top priorities at Q+M Travels are safety and providing a fun experience. While we encourage our guests to engage and play and active part in sailing, the Captain has absolute authority when it comes to safety, navigation, and seamanship. Guests are required to comply with reasonable orders from the Captain and crew regarding safety matters. The Captain reserves the right to make changes to the itinerary should the weather or other factors render such changes reasonably necessary.
I agree
Illegal Substances Policy
*
Under NO circumstances are illegal substances permitted on board Esprit. We can not stress this policy strongly enough. Any passenger bringing illegal substances on board will be held financially responsible for any and all damages resulting from such action, including but not limited to: the entire cost of vessel due to confiscation by authorities, loss of business income due to any vessel down-time, liability for any resulting injuries, any and all legal fees, fines, or other penalties and costs incurred as a result of any violations of this policy. Our captain and crew are bound by U.S. Coast Guard Rules to immediately report all use or possession of illegal substances to authorities and will do so without hesitation. While cannabis products are legal in many Q+M Travels charter locations, including California, cannabis is still illegal under U.S. Federal law and U.S. Coast Guard regulations. Cannabis products of any sort will not be permitted aboard Esprit or any Q+M Travels charter. Thank you for your understanding.
I agree
Alcohol Policy
*
You may bring alcoholic beverages (please avoid glass), but any passenger consuming alcohol must be at least 21, and passengers assume all legal and other consequences of illegal alcohol consumption. Should a guest become intoxicated, or show up intoxicated, the captain reserves the right to deny service or return the offending individual and accompanying group to the harbor. No rescheduling will be available and no refunds will be issued for charters shortened or cancelled due to intoxicated guests. It’s nice to enjoy a few drinks while out for your sail, but intoxicated individuals create unsafe and uncomfortable conditions for all. We want everyone to have a fun, safe, and memorable sail.
I agree
Young Shipmate Policy
*
Please let us know in advance the number and ages of anyone under age 18 you plan to bring aboard your sail. We need to ensure ahead of time that there is a reasonable number of adults for the number of children on board. Adult guests are ultimately responsible for their children’s safety, conduct, and entertainment. Q+M Travels has a limited number of children’s PFDs (personal flotation device) and you may be asked to supply your own.
I agree
Swimming Policy
*
Should you decide to go swimming, you acknowledge that you assume all risks. Please tell us in advance of your charter if you think you may want to swim. The captain reserves the right, in his or her sole discretion, to not allow swimming, and swimming is only permitted during full daylight hours while the boat is anchored or on a mooring ball. Swimming is never allowed while the boat is moving (underway). Be aware that cold water temperatures and currents may be dangerous. Any adult that gives a minor in his/her care permission to swim is solely responsible for the safety of said minor. At least one adult guest per child in the water must be present.
I agree
