Tampa Bay's Premier Fishing Guide
Policies
A 50% deposit is required to secure a reservation. I have a 2-week notice cancellation policy. If you have to cancel with 2 weeks or less notice, I will make every effort to rebook the day. However, you will forfeit your deposit if I am unable to rebook the day. Cancellations made with more than 2 weeks notice will be rebooked or receive a full refund. In the event of inclement weather (rain or wind), I would reschedule your trip or refund your deposit. The captain will make all cancellations at the time of the trip based on actual weather conditions. Many times, weather forecasts are not accurate or can be off by as much as 12 hours in the case of an approaching front.
Please make your deposit checks payable and sent to:
