Load-In Instructions:All vendor load-in must occur via the designated gangway on the starboard (city-facing) side during your contracted access window. Due to the historic nature of the vessel and narrow corridors, all items must be hand-carried or transported on rubber-wheeled carts (max width 24"). No dollies with metal wheels are permitted to protect original hardwood floors. Large items (e.g., speaker cabinets, large floral arrangements) must be approved in advance. The main deck Grand Salon has the widest access; upper deck venues require navigating a historic staircase. Loading is not permitted during high wind warnings (>20 knots) for safety. Coordinate all timing with our Dockmaster.
Load-Out Instructions:All client and vendor items, decorations, and equipment must be removed by the end of your contracted rental period. Load-out follows the same path as load-in via the starboard gangway. All rented items (linens, glassware, etc.) must be consolidated in designated crates on the main deck. All personal trash and decorations must be taken off the vessel; only basic catering compost/recycling may be left in marked bins. The gentle sway of the boat requires extra care when carrying items on stairs. A final walk-through with the venue manager is required before departure to confirm no items are left behind and no damage has occurred.
