We are OPEN and we welcome you!
We look forward to seeing you in the San Juan Islands this summer and are committed to making this the vacation of a lifetime! Here is what we are doing to keep you safe…
Reduced Number of Guests = More Space = More Room to Comfortably Social Distance…
Our boat features about 20 feet of rail space and 100 square feet of cabin space per group.
We are limiting the number of guests to 50% of our vessel's designed capacity. Our spacious vessel 'Odyssey' is 65 feet long and 16 feet wide, has two wrap-around decks, roomy forward and aft cabins … as well as two bathrooms. This gives you plenty of space to spread out on the boat and find a relaxing spot for viewing marine mammals while maintaining a comfortable social distance.
Staying Clean…
We are only offering one regular scheduled departure each day, which gives us plenty of time to sanitize our vessel. Between these daily departures, the Odyssey is sanitized using a fogger and cleaning supplies/techniques that are recommended by the CDC. In addition, multiple times throughout your trip, our crew will clean highly touched surfaces.
Practicing Social Distancing…
Social distancing aboard our vessel is easy and we urge our guests to practice social distancing protocols at all times.
Wearing Masks…
As long as the government guidelines suggest or require wearing face coverings in public to stay safe, our staff will wear face coverings. Our guests are also expected to abide by whatever protocol is current regarding face coverings. We can supply disposable face masks if a guest loses or forgets theirs.
Staying Healthy…
We conduct verbal health checks of our guests before the tour begins and allow guests to cancel last minute if they aren’t feeling well. Our staff go through a health check every day before they arrive to work.
Preboarding…
Meet up at the dock next to our boat. Here you are able to stay at least 6 feet apart before boarding. This allows you to avoid in-person interactions during check-in.
Booking and Prepaying…
You can call us, or book through our website, to avoid in-person interactions.
Questions? Join us on our website for a live chat…
You can ask questions through our chat and avoid in-person interactions. Of course you can call or stop by our shop too.
Softer Cancellation policy…
Guests can move their trip to another time or cancel at no additional charge.
We recognize that the protocols for COVID-19 prevention is ever-changing, so we are committed to always keep up to date on the CDC, WHO, and our local, state, and federal government recommendations for best practices for our tours.
Thank you and we hope to see you soon!
