If your charter length is shortened you’ll be offered a gift card equal to the hourly rate you booked  for the remaining time. This only applies to weather deemed unsafe by your captain.

What if we are running late

 

Give us a heads up! Communication is important

  • If your group does not arrive within 30 minutes of your appointment start time and we haven’t heard from you  it will be considered a no-show and no refunds/credits will be given.
  • If part of your party has arrived within 30 minutes of the scheduled time and checked in with the captain on site, your captain will wait for the remaining part of the group. The reservation end time will remain the same.

We are having a blast and would like to extend!

Talk to your captain. If you’d like to extend your charter and our schedule allows, the hourly rate will be charged to your card on file. All extensions will be charged to the closest 1/2 hour when arriving back your drop off point.
