What are your boarding
and unloading requirements? Guest
boarding will begin 15 minutes prior to your departure time. The only exceptions
will be for weddings, whereas brides will be allowed to board 30 minutes
prior to guest boarding to accommodate the brides entry to the onboard
changing area. In the event we have another charter after your
event the Captain may at his discretion return to the dock 15 minutes
prior to the end of your charter. All guests must unload within 20 minutes
after docking. If all guests have not unloaded within the 20 minutes provided,
a charge of $200 will apply and an additional $200 will be charged every
15 minutes thereafter.
What are your cruising times?
All
Charters require a 3 hour minimum except on Friday, Saturday and Holiday
evenings, which require a 4 hr. minimum. All early charters must return
before 4 PM and evening charters start after 6 PM.
Can additional services
be requested during cruise? Any
services that are requested while on charter (i.e. extra cruising time,
bar tabs or extra food) are payable at the end of the charter and are subject
to the sales tax of 8.25% and a service charge of 18%.
What happens if the weather
is bad? As
much as we would like to, we can't control the weather; however, our yachts
are fully enclosed on the lower deck and 3/4 of the upper deck. Also, our
yachts have been designed for Houston weather! With approximately 300,000
btu's of air conditioning / heating, we definitely can put a chill in the
Houston heat.
What are your cruising routes?
Be
assured our first priority is the comfort of our guests and because of
our unique location we have the choice of cruising Galveston Bay or Clear
Lake. So, if the weather should turn Galveston Bay to rough for comfortable
cruising, we will cruise in Clear Lake until the bay calms down.
Can I bring my own DJ or
Photographer We
don't recommend an outside DJ service for wedding but yes you can, however
any outside service persons that you hire must prior to your charter, (1)
be approved by our company (in writing), (2) provide us a copy of their
insurance naming our company as additional insured, (3) the charterer must
assume any and all responsibility for their actions and safety while on
board and a $100 fee will be charged for each outside vendor. Also cancellations
of our DJ or Photographer less than 60 days prior to your event will have
a $150.00 cancellation charge.
Can I change our food order
and what is the cut-off? Its
been said that our food and service is equal to the best of the restaurants
in Houston! So to insure quality, it's a must that all food orders be in
and complete 14 days prior to your event (food orders may change anytime
prior to the 14 day cutoff). Should your food order increase after the
14 day cutoff, a surcharge of 10% of that increase will apply. The increased
contract amount and the surcharge will be due prior to boarding. After
the 14 day cutoff the food orders cannot be decreased.
Yacht Decorations All
of our yachts are tastefully decorated and will change with the seasons
of the year. If you have a theme you would like to have us provide it may
be at an extra cost so please ask us to provide you with a quote. Most
all decorations are one of a kind and are the property of Majestic ventures
Inc., we spend many hours obtaining and maintaining them for your pleasure
so please do not remove any decoration for souvenirs.
Wedding Decorations
Knowing
that many weddings are booked well in advanced and some decorations will
wear out over time, our wedding decorations will be continually changed
through out the year with more current styles. If there are any specific
decorations that you have seen, and may require, please provide us with
that information in writing so we can get it included in your file.
All
decorations are subject to change without notice.
Can I expect any pricing changes?
Although
we try to maintain our charter rates and food pricing and your charter
pricing is guaranteed regardless of how far in advance you book your charter,
its always possible that our prices may change and on occasions we may
run specials which will not decrease your original contract price if the
special is lower. If, however, you increase the quantity or add additional
food prior to your event, the price that will be quoted for those changes
would be at the increased or decreased current pricing. Unchanged items
would not be affected.
