    Gratuities for the crew are discretionary and greatly appreciated. It’s customary to offer around 10-20% of the charter fee based on your level of satisfaction. Crew members accept gratuities in cash (preferred), Zelle, Venmo, check, or credit card, and work to ensure you have an exceptional experience.
  • Cooler & Refrigerator, Plate Wear Onboard?
    Yes, all of our boats are equipped with a cooler and onboard refrigerator for your use. Our well-equipped kitchen also has a microwave, blender, plate wear, serving utensils, corkscrew, mixing glasses etc.
  • Smoking & Recreational Drug Policy
    No smoking nor open flames are authorized nor is the use of any drugs (including THC products) as dictated by federal Coast Guard regulations. Vaping is allowed on the outside decks on the vessel.
  • Can We Play our Own Music?
    YES! CALYPSO features a premium Bluetooth sound system to enjoy your preferred music. Our crew will help you set this up upon arrival.
  • Restroom?
    Absolutely! CALYPSO features a spacious stand-up restroom complete with sink & toiletries for your comfort.
  • Are Infants & Children Allowed on Board?
    Children are welcome aboard CALYPSO. Please note that children count towards the total capacity, and those aged 13 years and younger are required to always wear a life jacket unless a guardian approves an exception. For child-sized life jackets, please inform us in advance on the link, allowing our team to prepare them for your arrival.
  • Appropriate Clothing
    Attire ranges from casual to fancy, depending on your preference. Since we’ll be on the water, it’s advisable to check the weather and temperature for the day of your charter. CALYPSO offers several covered areas to keep you dry, and we recommend bringing along a long-sleeve option (especially evening cruises after the sun goes down) in case of wind. For footwear, we suggest ease slip on/off options.
  • Bringing Food & Alcohol
    Feel free to bring any food or beverages you’d like to enjoy during your charter, including alcoholic drinks. Please note that the legal drinking age on board is 21 (as per state law). We kindly ask that you refrain from bringing red wine onboard to prevent staining the decks and cushions. We provide glassware, dish ware, and silverware for your convenience.
  • Seasickness
    CALYPSO is extremely stable, but if you have a very high propensity of motion sickness, we recommend consulting with a medical professional before your charter.
  • Can We Bring Decorations?
    Bring them! Glitter and confetti are not preferred due to cleanup required, but balloons, banners, and flowers are always welcome. Please note that setting up decorations before the charter start time may be subject to timing constraints so let us know on the link if you have set up requirements.
  • Bringing Candles or Sparklers
    Open-flame items are prohibited for safety reasons. However, we do make exceptions for Birthday Cake candles which the crew will provide.
