RE:  PUBLIC SAFETY AND ARCHITECTURAL CRUISES – POSTPONING OUR CRUISES FOR 30 DAYS – RESUMING CRUISES: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 2020

Thank you all for taking the time to read this short note.

I tell all our Captains, Crew, and Staff that we take “Passenger for Hire” for whom we owe the “highest duty of care.” We embrace this sense of safety.

In light of the private and public concern for Public Safety, and recent events in the U.S., Chicago and around the World, we have decided to suspend cruise operation for 30 days.

We have already instituted aggressive steps for sanitation, both boat side and shore side — but we believe the present concern for Public Safety, in these times, demands more.

Our next scheduled Architectural Cruise, Historical Cruise, or Private Charter will be Wednesday, April 15th.

During the next 30 days, we will consult with and listen to our Experts and Public Health officials.

At some time, hopefully, in the near future, we will Safely Sail with our loyal guests, courtesy of all the good efforts of our Tourism Partners.

In the interim, Safe Travels and Safe Sailing!

Best,

Terry Johnson
