Cancellation
We understand that life happens. If you are in need of canceling a trip, please let us know as soon as possible. Due to the nature of our seasonal business , if canceling is ultimately what you need to do we offer the following schedule based on when you cancel you charter.

A full refund will be issued.
CANCELING 14 DAYS OR LESS FROM CHARTER DATE
A 50% refund will be issued.
CANCELING 72 HOURS OR LESS FROM CHARTER DATE
Refunds will not be given for any reason. Here is a short explanation of why we must enforce this policy. After you have made a reservation and sent us your deposit we can no longer market that charter. We turn away numerous fishing parties every year because we are fully booked. When we turn these parties away they go to other charter services or make alternate fishing arrangements and may never try our services. If you cancel your charter, we have lost the opportunity to sell this charter to any of these other parties. We understand your charter is a vacation for you, but please understand that we depend on the revenue earned from our 10 week fishing season for our livelihood.

If rescheduling is available a $25 fee per person will apply.
