TRANSFER: With 60 days advance notice, there is no charge for transferring from one trip to another, subject to availability.
CANCELLED TRIPS: We reserve the right to cancel any trip prior to the scheduled departure due to under subscription or logistical problems (vessel breakdown, strikes, etc.). You may transfer to another trip or we will refund all payments made to Sikumi CAC in full. In no event, however, shall our liability exceed the obligation to refund the amount you paid to us. Trip cancellation due to under subscription would occur at a minimum of 45 days prior to departure.

WITHDRAWAL: Sikumi reserves the right to require any participant to withdraw from a trip at any time if the captain deems his or her acts or conduct detrimental or incompatible with the interest, harmony, comfort, or welfare of the trip. In such cases, no refund will be given.
MEDICAL: Although Sikumi’s trips are not physically demanding, you should be in general good health to participate. It is the passengers’ responsibility to judge the appropriateness of their physical capabilities to these travel activities. Anyone with medical problems or restrictions must make them known to us well in advance of the trip and should bring a personal supply of any special medications. The captain has the right to ask any member of the group not to participate in an activity if he/she considers it medically necessary; no refund will be made under such circumstances. Sikumi LLC and its affiliates take no responsibility for special arrangements required by passengers physically unable to complete a trip and assume no liability regarding provision of medical care.
SMOKING: Participants may not smoke below decks or within any enclosed area of the vessel. Smoking is allowed outside only.
CHILDREN ON TRIPS: A parent or a legal guardian must accompany anyone under the age of 18.
