General Information

Food: On all charters you may bring your own food or choose a package.

Drinks: You may bring your own alcohol. Alcohol is not permitted to be served in glass.

Decorations:  Simplicity is best. You may use any of the greenery onboard as well as our other decorative items, including votives with flameless candles.  You may not use lit candles or confetti.

Tablecloths make a dramatic difference. We will order them for you. The rental price includes tablecloths, linen napkins, black skirting, and set-up.  Napkins are available in a variety of colors. You may rent white or ivory skirting if you prefer.

 Retainers of $100.00 per hour are required to hold your reservation. Once you book your date, you will receive a contract. Please sign and return the contract with your retainer within two weeks. The balance is due by the day of the cruise.

Would you like to extend your cruise?

On a three-hour charter cruise downstream past Muskingum, Halfway, and Neal Islands, almost to Parkersburg, or upstream and be in sight of Willow Island Lock and Dam.  

MAKE IT A LOCK AND LUNCH! If the charter is before dark, and river conditions permit, you may cruise through the hand-operated lock at Devol’s Dam.

On a four-hour charter cruise upstream through Willow Island Lock and Dam. The locks at Willow Island are longer than the locks at the Panama Canal.
