Refund & Cancellation Policy

Refund Policy

Each sailing passage is limited in its capacity. Once Payment 2 is made — due 60 days prior to departure — and/or Payment 3 is made — due 20 days prior to departure — you are considered committed to the trip. Once any payment beyond the initial deposit is made, it is no longer refundable, with one exception explained below.

Your 10% deposit (Payment 1) is non-refundable.

If you find it necessary to cancel your trip after Payment 2 or Payment 3 has been made, please notify us as soon as possible. We maintain a waitlist and, when the opportunity arises, we may be able to re-book your spot. If we are able to re-book, we will issue you a refund or reschedule your reservation, minus Payment 1 (your 10% deposit).

Because of the nature of offshore sailing, we regret we cannot make refund exceptions for personal emergencies. For this reason, we strongly urge you to purchase travel insurance before your second payment is due.

If, for any reason, your application is not approved for participation, you will be refunded all monies paid.

Payment Schedule

• Payment 1 — 10% Deposit: Due at booking. Secures your berth. Non-refundable.
• Payment 2: Due 60 days prior to departure. Upon payment, you are committed to the trip.
• Payment 3 — Final Balance: Due 20 days prior to departure.

All payment amounts and due dates are displayed in your confirmation email and in your Customer Portal. You will receive automated reminders 7 days before each payment is due.

Sail Cancellation Policy

Ocean Sailing Adventures reserves the right to cancel any passage due to unforeseen circumstances, including but not limited to severe weather, vessel issues, or crew emergencies. In such a case, you will be given a full refund of all monies paid. Ocean Sailing Adventures is not responsible for additional expenses you may have incurred in preparation for the trip, including flights, accommodations, gear purchases, or other travel costs.

For this reason, travel insurance is strongly recommended for all participants.
