Course Policies

CANCELLATION

Please avoid cancellations and requests to switch dates if possible as it has a major impact on our scheduling, however sometimes changes are unavoidable. If you do need to cancel, we can provide a full refund (minus a $95.00 processing fee) up to 21 days prior to the start of the course. No refunds can be given within the 21 day window prior to your course, unless the spot(s) is filled by someone you introduce or from our waiting list.

Caribbean winter liveaboard courses are NON-refundable once booked.

We strongly recommend that you purchase trip insurance through a third-party to make sure you are covered for any eventuality!

If a student does not show or misses a day(s), Satori Sailing will try to accommodate a catch-up day if and when space is available on a first come first serve basis, however, Satori Sailing has no obligation to make special accommodations or to provide a refund. Students may request to be on a stand-by list for a certain date or call a few days prior to each course to check availability, but attendance cannot be guaranteed if the course fills.

We try to ensure that groups and families have the same boat/instructor during their scheduled courses if they so choose. Individuals from a group who cancel will be rescheduled individually.

No Show/Missed Day(s) cannot be carried over into future seasons. The burden to re-schedule a missed class is solely on the student.

Classes run rain or shine so dress for the weather and always come to class! The instructor may decide to re-schedule the on-water lessons within the course structure and replace with the following days classroom lecture if the weather is bad. Your instructor may cancel or reschedule the on-water part of a course at their sole discretion. Caribbean courses have no weather re-scheduling options.
