Let us answer some questions
and prepare you for your adventure
What can I expect?
'Kini's LegaSea is a US Coast Guard inspected sailing catamaran with a roomy cockpit, spacious salon, and private "head" (bathroom). Relax on the bow in comfy bean-bag cushions, or stand on deck and ask lots of nautical questions — our captain and crew tailor the experience to you.
​
Will we actually sail?
​That's the goal! Unless Mother Nature is not cooperating, we hope to get a sail (or two) flying for you.
​
Will we see dolphins and other wildlife?
Very likely! Guests often spot dolphins, manatees, pelicans, roseate spoonbills, ospreys, and even bald eagles (however, sometimes our wildlife friends do have other plans).​
Where are you located?
'Kini's LegaSea sails from Jacksonville Beach, near US-90 and the Intracoastal Waterway. After booking, we’ll send detailed directions and parking info.
​
How many can come sail?
The catamaran comfortably holds up to six guests — you and five others are welcome to enjoy the sailing lifestyle with us.
​​​
What should I bring?
-
Sunscreen: Mineral-based, no spray.
-
Food & drinks: Outside items are welcome; avoid anything that may stain (no blue drinks, red wine, or messy snacks).
-
Appropriate Clothing: Dress for the weather — hats, light layers for hot days, warm layers for cooler evenings.
​​​
Is it customary to tip the crew?
This is at the guest's discretion. A 10–20% cash tip on the base charter is appreciated. Our behind-the-scenes crew works hard to customize your experience. Venmo @makingwavesgroup is available, if preferred.
​​​I booked my charter, what's next?
You’ll receive a confirmation email with your date, time, and dock instructions (check your spam). Plan to arrive 15 minutes early. Have questions? Please feel free to call us at 904.472.1859 or email info@makingwavesgroup.com. ​
​
I have a Sunset Sailing charter; will my departure time change?
Yes. Sunset times vary daily, so your initial online booking time (5:30 PM) is a placeholder. You’ll receive an additional email that will provide your actual departure time calculated for sunset that day.
​​
Can I extend more time to my sailing package?
Absolutely! If you don't find a sailing package that meets your needs, simply "Add to your message" when booking and we’ll check availability. Extra time can be added on board during your sail via Venmo @makingwavesgroup if needed.
​
What happens if there is inclement weather?
If weather becomes a safety factor - at the discretion of the captain - we will do our best to contact you regarding options before you make it to the boat. At that time, you can choose to schedule for a later time at no cost or request a full refund.
​
What if I need to cancel?
No risk and no questions. Cancel anytime up to 24 hours before departure for a full refund. After that, a 50% fee may apply at the captain’s discretion.​
​
What if I have more questions?
We’d love to hear from you! Call us at 904.472.1859 — no question is too small. Whether you’re curious about the details or just feeling a little hesitant, we completely understand. Our goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, confident, and safe. We are happy to answer your questions, ease any concerns, and get you excited about your next sailing adventure.
