........... Each private 4 Hour Sailing Lesson = $225 (That's the total cost for you and up to 3 other people you bring with you).

DEPOSIT REQUIRED: A deposit of $60 is required to be received before the day of the cruise or sailing lesson. It takes approximately 3 hours, in addition to your cruise time, to prepare for your private cruise or lesson and put everything away afterwards. This deposit is refundable if a cancellation notice is received at least 48 hours in advance of the appointment. The fee for a returned check is $35.

END TIME: We will agree on a meeting time and time of the cruise or lesson. Another cruise or lesson may be scheduled after yours. Call me at (512) 250-8141 if you're going to be late so I'll wait for you. If you're late, the cruise will still end at the agreed upon end time without refund for the time you missed. Be sure and leave for the marina in plenty of time to arrive safely by the meeting time.

PAYMENT IN CASH: Please bring cash (less your deposit) for your cruise or lesson payment. I'll have a receipt for you. For pontoon boat cruises, you may pay for the boat rental with a credit card to the boat rental company. Please bring cash for the captain's fee. I'll give you details. The captain's fee is included in the above rates.

NO-SHOW FEE: A $60 NO-SHOW FEE will be charged if a person or group fails to meet at the rendezvous place within 15 minutes past the agreed meeting time and does not call. This fee may be waived if a cancellation phone call ( NOT Email) is received at least 4 hours before the agreed meeting time thus saving boat preparation time. You may cancel by email only if the email is received at least 48 hours in advance of the appointment. Thanks for being considerate.
