How long in advance do we need to book our date?
This depends on how full the captain's calendar is.  The sooner you book your date, the more likely you are to reserve the specific date of your choice.  If the calendar is open, you can give as little as a few hours or a few days notice.  The important item is that you must be past the three day waiting period for your marriage license.
 
What are your months/days/times of operation?
"Capt'n Jack" is in operation from about mid-May to mid-October.  Specific dates and times vary based on your specific desires.  Any of the seven days of the week could be available and any departure time from 7am to 9pm is a possibility.
 
Does "6 passengers" allowed include the captain?
The captain does not count as a passenger so six people includes the bride, groom, and four guests.
 
What happens in the case of inclement weather?
Weather reports are watched closely in the days/hours ahead of the departure time.  The captain reserves the right to cancel or postpone departure due to hazardous weather.  If the forecast reflects chances of a passing shower, the time of departure can possibly be moved.  Other conditions may warrant moving the ceremony to a covered lakeside location or rescheduling the date.  Regardless, a mutually agreeable alternative will be arranged.
 
How can we customize our cruise?
Just about any way you like.  We can cruise around islands of your choice, play music of your choice (a cd player is on board), cruise for less or more time, add flowers and cake, make a pit stop for ice-cream, whatever your imagination can come up with .  The only limitations the captain places on your ideas are factors that have the potential to negatively impact safety, personal property, and must be in good taste.
 
Can we bring children?
Children are ok.  Ages five and under must wear a life jacket while on board (it's the law!). For ages over five, this is optional.  For toddlers and infants, arrangements will be made to ensure proper life jackets are on board.
 
What is appropriate clothing to wear?
Anything comfortable.  You may dress as casual or as formal as you like.  The recommendation is to wear flat shoes (no heals for women) since the boat will rock and sway. Solid footing makes a difference!  You don't have to wear shoes at all if you prefer.  Shorts & t-shirts or dresses & ties, makes no difference.  Whatever you prefer, it's your day!
