Closed February 23 - April 4 for Yearly Maintenance

Please note that we will be temporarily closed from February 23 through April 4, 2026, while Troubadour enjoys her annual “spa treatment.” This important off-season maintenance includes a fresh paint job, thorough cleaning, engine servicing, and routine upkeep to ensure she’s in top condition for the upcoming charter season.

We will reopen immediately following the Good Friday Holiday Weekend, kicking off the 2026 charter season refreshed, polished, and ready to go.

Planning a charter for Spring or Summer 2026? Availability is filling quickly, so we strongly recommend reserving your dates well in advance. Reserve your date and book your next charter here to secure your preferred date on the water.

We look forward to welcoming you back aboard for another unforgettable season!
