nWEATHER POLICY
nDANA WHARF vessels go out rain or shine.  The only time they do not go, is in the event of high winds and heavy seas.  The safety and security of our guests is our utmost concern.  The captain of each specific charter boat will make that call on the day of the trip.  If Dana Wharf cancels the trip, based on the captain’s call, due to weather, we will try to re-schedule the trip.  If this is not possible, we will issue a full refund.  If the client cancels the trip, no refund will be issued.
