The Abbey Road sleeps six passengers comfortably in three cabins.  The aft cabin has a queen size berth, and its own head. The two forward cabins each have upper and lower berths and share a head. The captain has a separate cabin.  The luxurious salon provides plenty of room to relax.

Your crew will help you 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.

If you fail to show up or are late arriving at the dock prior to the scheduled departure time, you will be considered a No Show and your ticket is non-refundable.
