“THE 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 on board.  All areas
and decks are considered common to all passengers.
Charter Boat Policies
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 special needs 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”, “The Clinton” and “The 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 “The Captain Paul II” cruises are chartered by the hour and can be
catered by The 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 head count  
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 personal 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.
