How to Book
Early Booking Times (EBTs) are assigned first to 2024 Rock Boat Boat Alum, based on Alum status, and last year's booking date/time.
Next, Alumni who did not sail in 2024 and who have signed up for the pre-sale will be assigned Early Booking Times, in the order of Alumni status, most Sixthman events, most recent year, and most recent booking date/time.
Then, individuals who have never sailed on The Rock Boat, and signed up for the Pre-Sale will be assigned Early Booking Times, in the order of Pre-Sale registration.
You will receive your Early Booking Time (EBT) and additional booking information via email per the below timeline.
- 2024 Rock Boat Alumni will be emailed their EBTs on February 5th, and will book February and will book February 15th, 16th, and 19th.
- Rock Boat Alumni who did not sail in 2024, and sign up for the Pre-Sale will be assigned their EBTs on February 19th and will book on February 20th.

At or after your EBT, go to therockboat.com/booknow. Once you sign in, your time will be verified and you'll be able to begin the booking process. You can also book over the phone at 877-379-9173.
LET'S TALK PROFILES! If your traveling companion needs a Sixthman profile, they can create one here or you can create one for them while booking.
If they already have a Sixthman profile, ask them to add you as an Approved Lead Guest in their account here. Once that is done, you'll be able to add them as a guest in your stateroom while booking. Hooray!
Anyone who has traveled with Sixthman previously or signed up for the The Rock Boat Pre-Sale has a profile and will not need to create one.
For forgotten login credentials, recover them here; you can also contact us and we will be happy to look them up for you (try our live chat feature or contact us).
Please Note: Being a part of the pre-sale does not guarantee that staterooms will be left for purchase when it’s your time to book. Booking times are attached to a single Sixthman profile and are non-transferable.
