The boat and crew are yours for 5 days. If you return to Homer early, you may fill the remaining days fishing Halibut, Salmon or Rockfish and pay only the fuel.

FUEL:
Our 2010 Charter Rates parallel our local cost for diesel fuel. In years past, crude oil prices escalated to extreme, and drove local fuel providers to charge us proportionally. In order to survive economically, we did impose a fuel surcharge to meet the excessive fuel prices. We did NOT come close to requiring a surcharge in ’09 and hope we never do again. But, we alert our clients that it does remain a possibility in order to guarantee the quality of service and fishing experience everyone expects. We will never use a low appearing fee to attract new guests and then compromise our service to balance the books.

Cancellation/Refunds

Full refund of all fees/deposits is offered if the weather is unsuited for safe departure or if the boat is mechanically disabled. (In case of the latter, we will make every effort to place you with a capable charter).

If you scheduled and paid for, or placed a deposit for an option other than halibut or salmon and weather prohibits our access to the more distant way points, but we are able to fish somewhere, you will be offered the appropriate refund.

A refund of your fee is offered if notice of cancellation is received at least 30 full days prior to your scheduled charter-less 15% of the total charter fee.

If you must cancel with less than 30 days notice, AND we are able to fill your space(s), we will happily refund your fee – less 15% of the total charter fee. If we are not able to fill your charter space(s), you will be charged the total charter fee.

Failure to show at designated departure time or last minute cancellations will result in FULL CHARGE.
