REFUND

Ø Feel Secure with Our Refund Policy

Ø If you book a charter and we must cancel due to inclement weather, we will try to reschedule your charter to another time-slot. If we are not able to reschedule, then a refund of your deposit will be issued. Cancellation examples include high winds (over 20mph), colder temps (below 55 degrees) and high rain chances (over 80%).

Ø If you need to cancel your boat charter due to any reason, we need at least 72 hours notice in order to receive a deposit refund.  If your notice is less than 72 hours, the deposit refund will be forfeited.

Ø If you cancel your charter within 24 hours of pickup, or if a no call-no show scenario happens, we will charge your credit card on file the total price of the boat charter. There are no exceptions!

Ø **Please Note: A credit card transaction fee will be taken out of the deposit, if you cancel your charter. We appreciate your understanding.
