A 50% deposit is required to reserve your charter. The balance must be paid 7 days prior to the scheduled day of the charter. If the balance is not paid prior to departure (unless mutually agreed upon), our company reserves the right to cancel the charter and no refund will be granted.
You may cancel up to 30 days prior to your scheduled charter and receive a full refund of the deposit. The deposit will be non-refundable If you cancel within 30 days of your scheduled charter. The non-refundable nature of these payments reflects the fact that our company may forego other charters after reserving a charter for your group or may incur other expenses to accommodate the anticipated number of passengers. There will be no refund if a charter is shortened or terminated because a passenger becomes disorderly, refuses to follow the directions of the captain or crew of the vessel, or suffers a medical emergency. The charterer shall be responsible for any damage to the vessel or any equipment caused by the guests.
The charter deposit WILL be refundable if our company is unable to provide the charter because of weather, mechanical problems, or other reasons within the reasonable discretion of the Captain or management.
