Updates for Great Lakes Expeditions 2013 boat season

Hello Great Lakes Expeditions Guests,

We wanted to send out an update for the upcoming 2013 Boating Season. Currently our boat, the Double Jameson, is still in her winter storage undergoing maintenance and upgrades. We did not want to have this work being done on her to delay our ability to provide services to all of our guests for the 2013 season. So we shall be utilizing a new boat for the 2013 season. We shall still be operating out of “L” dock at Diversey Harbor. With our using a new boat this season, we will be updating our 2013 Pricing for our services.

Boat Trips:
-Basic Boat Trip to the “Chicago Play Pen” for 3 hours…. $855.00
-Additional Per Hour Rate for Boat Trips….. $285.00
-Deposit for Boat Trip Bookings….. $285.00
-Fuel Surcharge is dependent on the amount of travel time for the Boat Tour.
These prices will break down to $95.00 per person (based on 12 guests) for a 4 hour trip.

All Boat Tours are PAID IN FULL before we leave the dock. See our INFO Page and SHOP Page for more details on prices, Boat schedules, and other general information for your questions.

Cancellation Policy:
As a general rule, we will go out if the waves are four (4) feet or less. Guests with a 10-day advance notice may cancel a trip without penalty. If a guest should cancel within 48 hours of the scheduled trip, there is no refund of the deposit. In the event that the weather does not cooperate and the charter never takes place, we will gladly reschedule your charter for another date with no loss of deposit or fees. We will monitor the weather up until the day of the charter and we can all make the decision together as to whether or not to go out. The Captains of the Boat always have final say when it comes to weather conditions. We will not take any charter out in bad weather that could potentially cause harm to the passengers, vessel or crew. We want you to have a good time and tell your friends about our services. The deposit is refundable in the event of bad weather BEFORE the charter takes place or can be applied for another date. Once the collective decision is made to go out, then we are out and the charter is underway and no refund for weather will be given.

Please feel free to contact us so that we can get your dates scheduled on our calendar. We look forward to having all of you with us this coming summer.

Regards,
Great Lakes Expeditions Team
