COVID and the 2022 Sailing Season
Keeping you Safe. COVID-19 is a highly unusual and continues to be a rapidly evolving situation. Thankfully the COVID-19 situation is improving and with most people either being vaccinated or having already already sick the situation is more manageable. As a small business, we are doing our best to mitigate risks for our students and act in a socially responsible manner while continuing to offer our services during these unprecedented times. As the COVID-19 situation evolves, we at Advantage Boating continue to monitor developments both locally, provincially and nationally. We will also continue to follow official guidelines and recommendations from the Public Health Agency of Canada, the Province of Ontario, Ottawa Public Health and Sail Canada.
We have aligned our cleaning procedures with the guidance of the relevant authorities. Our COVID-19 policies are in place to ensure we can continue to get you out on the water in a safe and responsible way as we did over the past two summers.
Please note that instructors and students participating in our live-aboard course are required to be fully vaccinated.
We hope you will consider registering for one of our courses and we look forward to having you out on the water with us this summer!
COVID-19 Cancellation and Refund Policy for Ottawa & Kingston on-the-water courses
Given the ongoing COVID-19 situation, we have adjusted our refund policy. If we need to cancel an Ottawa or Kingston on-the-water course because of COVID-19, you will have the option to (a) reschedule your course to an available class later in the summer, (b) leave the credit on your account so that it can be applied to a future Advantage Boating course or (c) have a refund issued.
If you cannot take your purchased course as a result of having COVID-19 symptoms and testing positive for COVID-19 you will have the option, with a doctor’s note, to:
(a) reschedule your course to an available class later in the summer or,
(b) leave a credit on your account for the amount of which you paid for your course. This credit can be applied to a future Advantage Boating course.
If you cannot provide a doctor’s note for your last minute cancellation, we will offer you a credit to your account in the amount of 50% of the value that you paid for your course. This credit can be applied to a future Advantage Boating course.
Credit to your account for a cancellation because of COVID-19 must be used within one year.
If you registered for a course with a friend/partner/family and your they are unable to take their course due to COVID-19, we are unfortunately unable to offer you a credit, deferral or refund on your course.
We look forward to sailing with you soon.
