“CLINTON FRIENDSHIP” GROUP AND CHARTER POLICIES

GENERAL INFORMATION
A group is 20 adults or more. A 20 passenger (adults) minimum is required for the Clinton Friendship to cruise, should you
choose a date where we have no other passengers aboard.

Please contact our office before increasing the number of people in your party. We will give your group priority consideration on
a space available basis. It is your responsibility to specify if you need the lower deck due to a handicapped situation.

Unless the vessel is fully chartered, there is no exclusive use of the vessel by any passenger onboard. All areas and decks are
considered common to all passengers.

Special seating may be requested but not guaranteed. All requests will be honored based on each party size and the entire
number of passengers booked for the cruise.   Specify lower deck if you have handicapped at the time of booking your cruise.

Passengers may board thirty (30) minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. Disembarking will be no later than the time
stated on the contract.

The “Clinton Friendship”, “Clinton” and “Captain Paul II”can be fully chartered for exclusive use. Private Charter Lunch and
Dinner Cruises available on the “Clinton Friendship” require a guarantee payment of 80 passengers. Entertainment is included in
dinner cruise packages only. Hourly charter of the vessel for exclusive use does not include food or entertainment. If you wish to
make arrangements for a chartered cruise, please contact the office. The maximum number of musicians allowed on the vessel is
three (3) due to space availability for musicians' equipment.
All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Special pricing is available for children under the age of 12. Children
are free up to the age of 5. The “Clinton” and “Captain Paul II” cruises are chartered by the hour and can be catered by Captain’
s Landing Restaurant. If a caterer is being brought in, we need a Certificate of Liability Insurance and Workman’s Comp from the
outside company.

DEPOSITS & PAYMENTS
Clinton River Cruises cannot accept any group reservation without a deposit and signed contract.
A confirmed headcount and final payment is due one week prior to your cruise date. If full payment is not received within one
week of cruise date, payment will only be accepted by cash, credit card or certified check. No personnal checks will be
accepted..   You will be charged for the number of guests that you guarantee. Should you have additional guests over the
guarantee number, you will be charged accordingly. These payments will only be accepted with cash or credit card. Should you
have fewer guests than the guaranteed number, you will not receive any future credit for the passengers less than you guarantee.

All deposits and payments for cruise reservations are non-refundable; however, every effort will be made to reschedule your
cruise.
