What About Bad Weather Or Cancellations
A majority of the time the weather is great in Charleston. However, on occasion bad weather rolls through the lowcountry particularly on summer afternoons. We will make all reasonable efforts to get your charter out and back safely and responsibly. It may be best to alter our departure time if the weather dictates. If we cancel due to weather or unforeseen circumstances you will receive a refund of any deposit or payment made. If you choose to cancel within 24 hours of a charter your deposit may be subject to forfeiture.
