About the weather?
New England in the summer is “usually “nice but not guaranteed! We offer a full refund or a rebook if your charter must be cancelled due to inclement weather conditions. This will usually be decided a day or two in advance.

Dress as you please. Keep in mind that wind on the ocean can make you feel a bit chillier than on land, so a jacket is recommended just in case. Boating shoes or sneakers are practical to walk around the deck.
