Flight Cancellation Policy for scheduled shuttle flights
Our new build Cessna Caravan Amphibians are fast, direct, and save you a lot of time. It is important to note that they also have weather and daylight limitations when landing on water (our crews and aircraft are capable and certified to take off and land at land airports like any other modern aircraft). Safety and transparency are key values for our company. In the event a flight appears unable to operate for any reason, we aim to communicate that to passengers as far in advance as practical, keeping in mind there are good (but slower) train, car, and airline alternatives between our destinations. All reservations for any impacted flight will be fully refundable.
For flights with departures before 11am, we will notify passengers by 7pm the day before the flight the flight will not operate.
For flights between 11-3pm, we will notify passenger before 8am if a flight will not operate.
For flights after 3pm, we will notify passengers by 11am if a flight will not operate.
We are happy to assist, but will not be responsible for, alternative travel arrangements.
Diversion Airport Policy for scheduled shuttle flights
On rare occasions governed by safety considerations, we may elect to land at a nearby land airport instead of the scheduled water destination on our Manhattan and Boston flights. This could be caused by unexpected weather, ATC, or other reasons within and beyond our control and will be communicated as soon as possible to any affected passenger. In almost all cases, the diversion airports will be the Boston Logan private aviation terminal (BOS) or Westchester County (HPN) airports.
Should such a diversion occur, passengers will be provided a $40 (Boston) or $80 (Manhattan) future flight credit will be provided. This will cover any charges incurred for ground transport to your final destination.
