# Terms and Conditions

Using the website means accepting these general terms. A reservation is governed by the selected published rate, written confirmation, 50% deposit, remaining balance and policies supplied for the trip.

## What guests should know

Clear expectations make a day on the water easier for everyone. Review these points before requesting a trip and ask about anything that affects your group.

Terms and Conditions should be read together with the written booking confirmation. General website guidance explains the approach, while the confirmation records the terms, timing and instructions for a specific reservation. If the two appear inconsistent, ask for clarification before the trip rather than relying on an assumption.

- Published rates are private-group prices before tax and were reviewed September 2, 2026
- The selected boat is not reserved until availability is confirmed and the 50% deposit is paid
- The remaining 50% is due before departure on embarkation day
- Routes, wildlife, catches, water clarity and exact stops are not guaranteed
- Guests must provide accurate group information and follow captain instructions
- Glass is not allowed aboard
- External official resources control current regulations, forecasts and park information
- Florida law governs to the extent applicable

## Confirmation controls

Your written booking confirmation contains the terms that apply to your reservation. If a confirmation differs from general website information, ask for clarification before the trip.

Conditions on the water can require a decision that is not obvious from shore. The operator and captain consider wind, storms, visibility, vessel readiness and the needs of the group. Guest preferences matter, but they do not override safety, law or a restriction intended to protect habitat and wildlife.

## How to use the Terms and Conditions information

Read this page before requesting a date, then review the reservation-specific terms before accepting them. Ask about anything that could determine whether a guest can participate, including mobility, children's needs, weather concerns or the handling of a special occasion.

Do not wait until boarding to disclose an issue that affects safety or space. Early notice gives the operator a chance to explain options or say when the requested experience is not an appropriate fit.

- Read the full confirmation
- Share it with every adult guest
- Ask questions in writing
- Keep contact details current

## When plans or conditions change

Contact the operator as soon as you know the group cannot follow the confirmed plan. The outcome depends on the applicable reservation terms and the timing of the notice. Weather decisions should come through the operator's stated process; a forecast screenshot alone does not establish that a trip is canceled.

If the captain changes a route or instruction for safety, follow that direction promptly. Questions can be discussed once the boat and group are secure.

- Use the confirmed communication channel
- Include the reservation name and date
- Wait for an explicit weather decision
- Follow all captain instructions aboard
