What to Expect::

You’re welcome to participate as much, or as little, as you like. Take the wheel, help raise the sails and crank winches; we’re happy to teach you about sailing!  Depending on the length of the trip, we may explore the islands, sea caves, beaches, or lighthouses of the archipelago.  On overnight trips, we will anchor for the night in protected bays or tie up to a dock.

The Zeeto sleeps six passengers comfortably in two double midship berths and two singles in the forward cabin.  The captain will sleep in the saloon.

Your crew will gain skills in sail handling, seamanship, navigation, and environmental stewardship.  We will explore the islands, sea caves, beaches, or lighthouses of the Apostle Islands archipelago.  At night, we will anchor in a protected bay or tie up to a dock.  

Preparing meals in Abbey Roads spacious galley is as easy as cooking in your own kitchen.  Pots and utensils are already aboard.  The Captain will help you operate the stove, oven & grill.  We can refer you to local grocers, restaurants, farmers, and markets to help you provision or cater meals for your trip, or we can provision the boat for you for an additional fee.  Please be sure to add the captain into your food count.

We sail under most weather conditions except for those that are deemed unsafe, such as thunder/lightning, sheeting rain, and/or extremely high winds, so please check the forecast the day of your sail and be sure to dress for the weather.  We do not cancel sails based on weather forecasts, so cancellations usually occur the day of the scheduled sail, although we make every effort to provide as much notice as possible.

If the weather looks questionable, you may call 262-422-0607 to check on the status of your sail. In case of a weather-related cancellation, you will be contacted by a crew member at the cell phone number you provided.

Should we cancel a trip due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances , you may elect a full refund or have your reservation transferred to another sail of your choosing as availability allows.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you made a reservation and need to cancel or reschedule your sail.  If you cancel more than 72 hours (3 days) prior to the start of your scheduled trip, we will be happy to offer a full refund, less the 8% booking and credit card transaction fees.  If you cancel less than 72 hours prior to your scheduled trip, we can reschedule you for a future sail, or provide a gift card for the amount that was paid.
