Weather Conditions

Captain Shane monitors the forecast and water conditions leading up to your trip. If conditions may affect your experience, he’ll discuss what to expect and the available options with you.

Safety comes first, and Captain Shane makes the final decision on whether a trip can safely proceed. If he cancels because of weather, you may reschedule or receive a full refund of your deposit.

If the trip can safely proceed but conditions are less than ideal, any option to cancel with a refund or reschedule will be agreed upon with Captain Shane before departure. A forecast of rain alone does not automatically cancel your charter.

What is your cancelation policy?

Cancel at least 7 days before your scheduled departure for a full refund of your deposit, for any reason. Cancellations within 7 days of departure and no-shows will forfeit the deposit. Captain Shane may make exceptions for circumstances such as flight cancellations or emergencies, at his discretion. Please contact us as soon as your plans change.

Is your crew licensed for charter fishing?

Yes! Our customer safety is the number one priority while charter fishing! Captain Shane is a licensed USCG Captain, and is also certified in First Aid.
