COVID-19 SAFETY

FOR YOUR SAFETY

A latent risk of exposure to Covid-19 is present where people gather in any public space. By joining us on ADVENTURE it is understood that you as the guest assume any risk associated with exposure to Covid-19.

We are taking enhanced actions through sanitation and social distancing measures to ensure the highest level of customer safety and satisfaction. Please do your part to help keep each other safe and healthy.

Connecticut River Expeditions holds the safety of our customers and employees in the highest regard. For this reason we require that everyone visiting and working on our boat wear a mask at all times when they cannot maintain a 6 foot social distance.

We realize that some may object or find this to be an inconvenience, but we maintain erring on the side of safety by enforcing this protocol. Wearing a mask in public spaces not only protects you, but those in your presence and we believe that the safety and comfort of our guests is worth the minor potential inconvenience.

Please be sure to read the posted safety guidelines and be sure to wear your mask and keep a safe social distance.

Captain Alex Yuknat

Alex grew up on the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound.  He has been on the water since he was born.  When he was 7 he started sailing and was racing by the time he was 9.  His love for boating led him to The Sound School in New Haven in High School and then onto Massachusetts and Maine Maritime Academies.  Alex enjoys the winter months in Key West, Florida and will be taking care of the next addition to the Connecticut River Expeditions fleet, a 65′ ketch sailing vessel that will be available as accommodations and charters.  During his summers in Connecticut, he has helped with the restoration ADVENTURE and is thrilled to be able to take the helm and provide the perfect venue for the perfect celebration.
