The COVID-19 Situation
As far as the Covid-19 situation goes, the crew is fully-vaccinated. Social distancing, hand washing, etc., are still practiced easily on PARADIGM SHIFT. The crew wears masks throughout the trip and social distancing is easily maintained as PARADIGM SHIFT is 50 feet long by 26 feet wide, offering 1100 square feet of deck space, half of which is shaded.
Hand sanitizers, sunscreen, reverse osmosis water are provided. Just bring bathing suits, beach towels, sunglasses, a hat, and a sweatshirt for sunset cruises…a shower can pop up in a moment, leaving behind a fabulous rainbow, so photographers will enjoy the changing sea and sky colors.
