Rendezvous at Safe Harbor Essex Island Marina, CT
The Aug 6,7,8 Rendezvous on the Connecticut River Essex Island Marina. The Marina is open to for docking reservations and cautioned that they are filling up quicker than usual. Mention you are with PBSA and they will try to group us together. We expect a dedicated picnic area as in the past. We strongly suggest you make your reservation now as there is little down side to doing so! If you want to cancel 72 hours in advance of the scheduled arrival date, you will receive a full refund of your deposit. The full reservation and cancellation policy, of Essex Island Marina, is copied below.
Reservations: Reservations can be made by phone (860-767-8267) or their preferred method is using Dockwa online (https://dockwa.com/manage/vgc156-safe-harbor-essex-island-marina/dashboard). In either case, please make sure to clearly state or write that you are with PBSA (online there is a spot for notes, please add the information there). Any additional requests must be also included in the reservation when the reservation is created. The space is limited, so it is recommended to make reservations ASAP.
Deposit: A deposit is due upon creation of reservation. The deposit is the first night’s dockage $4.75/ft + electric + tax (electric = $12.50/30 amp; $25.00/50 amp). We take all major credit cards.
Cancellation Policy: (Check on-line for specific details regarding cancellation). Basically You may receive a full refund of your deposit if the reservation is cancelled more than 72 hours in advance of the scheduled arrival date (by 1pm 3 days prior).
· If the reservation is cancelled within the 72 hour requirement of the scheduled arrival date, the deposit will be forfeited.
· Guests who fail to cancel their reservation before 24 hours of arrival will be charged for the full reserved stay at normal transient rates.
Weather Policy: Cancellations due to weather will only be entitled to a full refund of the deposit if there is a NOAA Small Craft Advisory posted for the area in which the marina is located on the expected date of arrival.
