The Cruise FAQ’s

  • How long is the cruise?

    Each cruise is two hours long. If you’d like to extend your time on the water, just contact us directly. Extended cruises are subject to availability and depend on whether another booking is scheduled after yours.

  • Wondering if that’s the price per person?

    You’re not alone — we get that question sometimes!
    Good news: our pricing is per cruise, not per guest.

    Each two-hour cruise includes up to 6 guests and a dedicated captain.

    Food and beverage add-ons are available during booking. Gratuity for your captain is not included, but always appreciated.

  • Where is Onda Bella located and where do I park?

    We depart from Britannia Yachting Center located at 81 Fort Salonga Road, Fort Salonga, NY 11768.

    Parking is available in the Britannia Yachting Center parking lot. Once parked, you will meet your captain on the Deck of Britannia Yachting Center, where you will then be escorted to your boat.

  • How many people per cruise?

    Our electric Duffy 22’ Suncruiser is approved for a max of 6 guests per US Coast Guard regulations. If you are looking to accommodate more than 6 guests, contact us directly for additional options.

  • Can we bring our own drinks?

    For guests who wish to bring their own alcoholic beverages, we charge a $25 uncorking fee per bottle of wine or per four-pack of beer. Liquor and red wine are not allowed on the boat.

    Each reservation includes complimentary bottled water, along with a selection of light refreshments like soda and seltzer, kept chilled in our onboard fridge.

  • Can we bring our own food?

    To maintain the cleanliness of our vessel, Onda Bella Cruises has a policy against bringing outside meals on board.

    That said, you're welcome to bring snacks and drinks for children, and if you're celebrating a special occasion, feel free to bring a dessert to enjoy during your cruise.

  • When should we arrive?

    Please arrive 10-minutes before your scheduled booking. This will allow for your group to be gathered and ready to begin your pre-cruise overview and guarantee your full 2 hours of cruise time. If your group does not arrive at or before your scheduled booking time, your cruise time may be reduced.

  • Can I bring a dessert for a celebration?

    If you’re celebrating a special occasion, you are welcome to bring a dessert aboard.

  • Are kids welcome?

    Kids are always welcome aboard the Onda Bella! They’ll have a wonderful time out on the harbor and they’ll certainly enjoy swimming, paddleboarding, cannon balls off the boat and exploring Sand City beach. Feel free to bring whatever snacks or drinks your kids prefer, we know they can be a bit picky :)

  • Is the boat handicap accessible?

    Our boat is not specifically designed for handicap accessibility. Please send us an email to sail@ondaballecruises.com for more information and we will do our best to accommodate.

  • Are life jackets provided?
