1. Psych yourself up for a fab boat ride. Whether this is your first time on a boat or umpteenth time, this is a unique experience that is meant to bring a special kind of closeness between you and your partner that is unattainable in routine daily life. Novel experiences, in general, uncover intimate, secret saucy sides to your partner–and to yourself–allow and enjoy it!

2. What should we wear and pack?
Sailing during the spring and fall, it is best to dress in layers. It can be cooler at sea than on land so it is advised to bring a jacket or sweatshirt. In the summer months this is not necessary. At a minimum, you should bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. Spray jackets are provided, if the weather turns or you need an extra layer.

Soft soled shoes, such as boat shoes or sneakers are preferred footwear. Flip flops, open toes, hard soles and high heels are not recommended. If you wear hard soled shoes or high heals you will be asked to go barefoot for safety reasons.

3. What do we do with our personal items?
Any bags, backpacks or personal items can be stowed inside the cabin. Computers and delicate electronics should not be brought on board. Tribeca Sailing or affiliates cannot assume responsibility for personal items stowed inside the cabin or anywhere on the vessel. You bring personal items onto the vessel at your own risk. Tribeca Sailing or affiliates are also not responsible for items that fall overboard.

4. Who is Captain David Caporale?
He is the operator/owner of Tribeca Sailing, and a licensed USCG captain with a spotless safety record. He is responsible for all aspects of providing excellent service to his customers and partners. He is the single contact for Tribeca Sailing.

5. Can we steer or help sail the boat? Can you teach us how to sail?
ABSOLUTELY! If the weather conditions permit, either one of you may take the wheel and help with sail controls as much as you like. The captain prides himself on helping people understand how a sailboat works and can offer any level of training you desire.

6. Can we play our own music on board?
Tara has a Bluetooth speaker for you to connect to your phone so you can play any music of your choice during your private sail.

7. Are there bathroom facilities?
There is a public restroom inside Brookfield Place. Tara has a bathroom for limited use.

8. Do you offer 2-hour Sunset/City Lights cruises?
You bet. The demand is high; advance reservations are mandatory.

5. What about inclement weather conditions? What happens if there is a threat of rain?
Our goal is to keep passengers safe. Mother Nature can be tricky and weather conditions are variable. Unless extremely adverse weather conditions prevent Tribeca Sailing from leaving the dock for safety reasons, the company will sail in the rain, heat, cold, humidity, etc. Every effort will be made to contact you two hours prior to your sail as we have updated information regarding any extremely adverse weather conditions. However, this is not always possible and may result in a last minute cancellation of your sail, even after you have arrived at the dock. On the day of your sail, if you have any questions regarding the weather, please do not hesitate to call. Please note that long-term forecasts are incorrect 99% of the time. Only the captain of the vessel will be able to cancel a sail.

6. What are your Cancellation Policies?
15 days prior to sail booked: You may cancel and receive a refund minus a 15% service fee.

Within 5 to 15 days of sail booked: You can reschedule your sail up to October 31st of the next year's sailing season and no refund will be made available.

Within 5 days of sail booked: No re-booking and no refund.

Please arrive 15 minutes early as Tribeca Sailing will set sail five minutes past your scheduled sailing time. If you do not arrive by five minutes past your scheduled departure (even by one minute) no refund will be made available. This policy is designed to make sure everyone gets their proper sailing time as with a tight schedule Tribeca Sailing cannot delay our departure.

If you cannot make your sail for any reason; for example, illness, lost luggage, traffic, delayed subway, etc. couples will be able to join any public non-private sail that has seats available within two hours of that sail as long as there is already a booking. For example, if the 6 p.m. public non-private sail already has two people booked you may request to join that sail after 4 p.m. This offer is valid for the same year of your originally booked sail and will expire on October 31st of that same year.
