Q&A

  • Can I pre-register for a boat ride?

    • No, this is a first come, first served event.

  • How long will the boat ride last?

    • Sailboat rides will last up to 30 minutes, rowboats should be returned within an hour.

  • Do I need to have sailing or rowing experience?

    • No, sailboats will be skippered by female volunteers who are confident in their sailing skills. Rowboats require no experience.

  • Can I bring a bag on the boat?

    • Our sailboats can be a pretty tight squeeze, small body cross bags are fine but we encourage you to come with as little as possible. CWB is not held liable for any personal belongings left on the docks during a boat ride.

  • Can I bring food with me?

    • Sure! Just make sure to eat on the dock and not on the boats as there will be very little room to spare.

  • What do I wear?

    • Being out on the water is generally 10 degrees cooler than on land. Prepare to wear warm layers that will keep you dry and closed toed shoes.

  • Can I bring my child with me?

    • This event is intended for women over the age of 18. Children are welcome to the event as long as they are accompanied by an adult over the age of 18 at all times.

    • Those under 18 will not be permitted to ride a boat at this event.

  • Will there be parking?
