General Questions
Where do we meet you?
Our boat is located at Crocker's Boatyard, 56 Howard St, New London, CT 06320. The marina is gated, so we'll meet you at your designated time to let you in. The Bushwhacker is conveniently docked in one of the first slips. The marina is well-maintained, and the docks are kept clean and up-to-date.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Your safety is our priority. If the weather conditions are unsafe for boating, we will reschedule your trip. If we are unable to reschedule, your deposit will be returned. We monitor weather closely, and you will be informed ahead of time if there’s a need to adjust your booking. We do not cancel due to rain.
What is your cancellation policy?
A trip must be cancelled at least seven days in advance to receive a full refund of your deposit. If the trip is cancelled within seven days of your scheduled date, the deposit will be forfeited.
How do I book a trip?
Please use our online calendar to submit your $200 deposit. The remaining balance will be due on the day of your charter. We accept cash, check, and Venmo.
