Once purchased, tickets cannot be refunded. Tickets may be rescheduled with at least 48 hours notice. Customers will be rescheduled or refunded if Blue Ocean cancels due to rough weather or unforeseen circumstances.
Arrive 20 minutes before departure for check-in and the safety briefing. The boat leaves promptly at the scheduled time.
