Weather Safety Policy
Any responsible mariner knows that safety of passengers and vessel is the highest priority. All preferred routes and destinations will be evaluated for safety by the captain before departure. At his sole discretion, the captain may determine that a route or destination change may be warranted due to projected weather or sea conditions. There may be some days when the captain might even determine that the weather is projected to be too hazardous to leave port. This is the inherent uncertainty when traveling so close to nature.
If a preferred route is revised by the captain, your preference for an alternate route will be given high priority. If the total number of days on the water is reduced from the planned trip because of safety, then a prorated portion of the boat-related costs for the missed portion of the trip shall be refunded to you at a rate of $ 100 per hour of on-the-water voyage time..
