Trip Cancellations and Refunds

The Providence is a classic sailing vessel; if there is no wind, it may have to use it's engine.

Due to the nature of operating in ocean wilderness areas, charters and tours may be modified or cancelled. Crosswinds Charters reserves the right to cancel any expedition for adverse weather, mechanical or logistical problems, or unforeseen circumstances which may impede trip operations or safety. Should this occur, a full refund will apply if you cannot reschedule.

In the event that you should cancel with more than 45 days notice to us, a full refund of your deposit will be given. If you cancel within 45 days of the trip departure date, we will retain the full deposit unless you can find a replacement person or persons.

The fine print: Crosswinds Charters or any of its employees cannot be held responsible or liable for any claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses arising out of injury, accident or death, damage, loss or delay of baggage or property, or delay, inconvenience, loss of employment, upset, disappointment, distress or frustration, whether physical or mental, caused by any act of omission or negligence of Crosswinds Charters, its employees, sub contractors, agents or participants. Crosswinds Charters is not responsible for expenses incurred by trip members in preparing for the trip (i.e. travel costs, non-refundable air tickets etc.) Each tour itinerary or description is a general guideline of what can be expected on our sailing/adventure trips, but it is not a contract. Factors such as weather conditions, mechanical breakdown, flight cancellations, medical emergencies, natural disasters or other uncontrollable circumstances can alter your trip.
