FAQs

On the day of the charter, your hired captain has the authority to deem weather conditions are "charterable" or "uncharterable" due to inclement weather. Unchartable weather conditions are typically the result of (but are not limited to) heavy storms, gale storms, strong winds, and large waves. Light rain and passing storms are considered chartable. Boats will usally go out rain or shine because we have awnings.  In the case of unchartable weather our team will work with you to temporarily postpone or reschedule your charter to a future date.
