Specialty Tours
Frequently Asked Questions
Tours are conducted in an active shipyard, making accommodations difficult. There are no ramps available for mobility scooters or wheelchairs. Participants must be able to walk on uneven surfaces, stand for several hours, climb up and down steep ladders, and step into confined spaces. We are happy to help those in need, but there are limitations due to the ship’s current environment.
Participants MUST wear full-length pants and shirts that cover the entire leg and torso. All footwear must be closed-toed shoes with good traction. We will provide Proper hard hats and eye protection before each tour. Anyone who does not meet these requirements will NOT be allowed to participate and will have to reschedule their tour.
Participants MUST be at least 16 years of age. An adult or guardian must accompany anyone under the age of 18. Absolutely NO ONE under the age requirement will be allowed into the shipyard.
Tours are conducted rain or shine. If a tour must be canceled due to foul weather, all participants will be rescheduled to a date that works best for them.
Tickets cannot be refunded, but you can reschedule if necessary.
Participants must fill out liability waivers and photo releases before taking the tour.
Pictures are allowed, but video is subject to some restrictions.
- Participants are not allowed to record the entire tour.
