Open Sailing hours are from noon till dusk except in the following situations:
- Calendar indicates “Busy” during the listed hours, due to a group event.
- The pier will close at 6:30 if no boats are on the water at that time. We will stay open if you call prior to 6:30 and let us know you’re coming down.
- The pier will close in inclement or unsafe weather conditions.
