Booking, Deposit, Cancellation & Payment Policy

A deposit is required to reserve your fishing-consulting trip date and time. All deposits are non-refundable and secure your selected date on the live calendar.
The remaining balance for the trip must be paid in full before leaving the dock. If full payment is not received before departure, the trip may be canceled, and the deposit will be forfeited.
If you need to cancel your trip for any reason, your deposit will remain non-refundable. If you would like to reschedule, we will do our best to accommodate your request; however, rescheduling is not guaranteed and is subject to availability on the live calendar.


If weather, unsafe sea conditions, or another circumstance outside of our control requires the trip to be rescheduled, we will contact you as soon as possible. Any deposit or payments already made will be applied to your rescheduled trip, and we will work with you to find the earliest available date that works for your schedule.
Because consulting trips are conducted on the client’s boat, the client is responsible for ensuring that the vessel is safe, seaworthy, properly equipped, fueled, and ready to depart at the scheduled time. If the trip is canceled, delayed, or cannot depart because of a client boat issue—including mechanical problems, safety concerns, lack of required equipment, insufficient fuel, or any other vessel-related issue—the deposit will be forfeited. Rescheduling in these circumstances is not guaranteed and will be subject to availability.
By booking a trip and submitting a deposit, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to this Booking, Deposit, Cancellation, and Payment Policy.
