Terms of service
The short version of how booking a private charter with Making Sea Memories works.
Booking and deposit
A private charter is yours for the date you choose once the deposit is paid online. The deposit percentage is shown for each trip before you pay, and the balance is arranged directly with the crew. If online payment is not available, your request is only a request until we confirm the date and deposit details with you by email or WhatsApp.
Cancellations and weather
Safety comes first. If seas or weather make the trip unsafe, we reschedule or refund your deposit. You can cancel for free up to 7 days before departure. Inside 7 days, deposits are non-refundable unless we cancel for weather. Refunds go back to the card you paid with.
Your group
Please book for the number of guests who will be on board. Tell us about children or anyone who needs special help when you book. The captain has the final say on safety, including who and what comes aboard, and may end a trip early if conditions or conduct make it unsafe, as described under weather above.
Fishing and the water
Fishing and boating carry some inherent risk, and conditions change quickly at sea. The crew will brief you on safety and on the local fishing rules before departure, and we ask that you follow their instructions. Catch is not guaranteed.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The terms shown when you book are the ones that apply to your booking.
