The charter officially begins when the vessel departs the dock. Once underway, refunds or credits will not be issued if a guest chooses to shorten or end the trip for personal reasons, including:

n

n
• Seasickness or motion sickness
n
• Anxiety or panic
n
• Fear of the ocean or marine life
n
• Discomfort with waves or weather
n
• A change of plans or change of mind
n
• Any other reason unrelated to the safe operation of the vessel

Weather and Sea Conditions

n

Charters operate in light rain, wind, and normal ocean conditions. The ocean naturally involves waves and vessel movement and should not be expected to remain flat like a lake.

n

The Captain alone determines whether weather and sea conditions are safe for operation. Refunds or credits will not be issued because of:

n

n
• Rain or overcast conditions
n
• Wind or normal ocean chop
n
• Seasickness or motion sickness
n
• Personal discomfort with the weather or sea conditions
n
• A guest’s decision not to begin or continue the charter
n

n

If the Captain determines that weather or sea conditions are unsafe before departure, guests will be offered either:

n

n
• A full refund, or
n
• The opportunity to reschedule for a future available date
n

n

The Captain reserves the right to modify, shorten, or terminate a charter whenever reasonably necessary to protect the vessel, crew, or guests. A refund or credit is not guaranteed when a charter is modified or ended because of guest behavior, a guest’s illness or medical condition, failure to follow the Captain’s instructions, or circumstances beyond the Captain’s control.

By completing a reservation, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Cancellation & Weather Policy. You authorize Islamorada Spearfishing Adventures to charge the payment method on file for any amount due under this policy.
