Almost ready to join us this summer? Below are some important facts relative to participation and payment agreements that you should review prior to signing aboard.



About Your Participation...


ActionQuest programs are more than voyages with instruction in sailing and diving; they are a total educational experience. Participants arrive with the understanding that they will be part of the crew in training, ready to share the work of the yacht from maintenance to food preparation to navigation, and everything in between. Shipmates rotate positions of responsibility each day for variety and well roundedness. Evenings are largely devoted to program material aboard. These are dry ships — no alcohol or illegal drugs — and there can be no smoking for health and safety reasons. We expect all shipmates to maintain an atmosphere of respect and consideration. We will not tolerate actions or attitudes detrimental to group cohesion and spirit or the healthy and pleasant environment aboard. Additionally, we are a co-ed program. Girls live in separate cabins. Privacy is thus maintained even with ten to twelve students all living within 50 feet of each other! Much is gained simply from living closely and in cooperation. In short, we are conscious of our good reputation and maintain the tone of the program as one of positive, highly experiential, healthy, active fun.


Terms and Agreements...

Due to the charter and contractual agreements of ActionQuest, the following procedures and terms shall apply:

We are able to accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express for the $500 application fee/berth deposit, 75% of which is fully refundable until February 1st if your plans change for any reason; after that date the deposit is forfeit or applicable to any future participation by the same family. On March 1st, one half of the tuition is due. The tuition balance is due April 1st. Applications are accepted after these dates where space is available. A 2% late fee will be applied to the balance of tuition outstanding on May 1st. Payment and late fee extensions are given to those applying after these deadline dates, please call for details. Tuition payments are accepted by check or wire transfer. Credit cards may also be used for tuition payments, but the tuition amounts will be slightly higher, as our published tuition fees reflect a 3% discount for direct payment. The director reserves the right to dismiss anyone who, in his judgment, is detrimental to the program. In this case, or in the event of a withdrawal for any reason, no refund of fees paid is possible. Note: There are many trip cancellation insurance programs available that offer a full refund for a small percentage of the amount insured in the event of cancellation up to departure and including interruption after departure. We will send an insurance form and recommend that such insurance be purchased to avoid any loss after fees are paid. Additionally, you can visit the insurance page HERE. ActionQuest reserves the right to cancel not fully paid applicants without refund and accept others into the program.



About fees...

For the most part, payments to ActionQuest are all inclusive. Aside from miscellaneous purchases ashore, there is no need to spend money for additional items from the time one arrives aboard until departure. All aspects of the program are arranged for and covered by tuition including: Sailing and diving equipment (except for wetsuits, if needed), instruction and certification costs, charter costs of the yachts utilized, food, trips and excursions. Travel costs are not included. We do require that all participants join DAN (the Divers Alert Network) for their membership benefits. Those enrolling in certain scuba courses are required to purchase the necessary PADI books and materials for their use after the program (est. $35.) A one-time total tuition fee deduction of 5% is granted for any two voyages or for two or more shipmates from the same family. Please make checks payable to ActionQuest.



Our 5 1/2- and 6-Week Voyages...

Any two consecutive voyages may be joined to form one extended program. In the interim between voyages, shipmates stay aboard with staff. The program cost is determined by combining the cost of each voyage and subtracting the 5% extended program discount. (This discount also applies toward any voyages adjoining our sister community service program, Lifeworks.) ActionQuest and/or Lifeworks enrollment for any two programs in the same summer will be considered as a single extended program in the event of withdrawal or dismissal from the program at any time.
