Life happens - we understand that, but we need you to understand that last minute cancellations are crippling to a full time, seasonal fishing charter operation. Fishing charter cancellations must be communicated 14 days before your departure time/date in writing via email to destincharters@yahoo.com. If you do not provide 14 days notice in writing regarding the cancellation of your charter, your credit card on file will be charged $200.
If you cancel within 48 hours of your departure time or do not show up for the trip, you will be charged the total price of the trip.
In the event of severe weather or unsafe Gulf waters, where the captain must cancel the trip, your credit card will not be charged and there will be no penalty. There is nothing we can do to control the weather and your safety is our priority. If storms or unsafe conditions prevent us from fishing, we will do our best to reschedule you. The client may not determine if the weather is un-fishable.
Thank you for your kind consideration and we look forward to seeing you soon!
