10. Half day charters are available upon request. The fee for half day charters are equivalent to a 30% discount off your regular fees. For example, the rate for 2 on a weekday is equal to $220.00 plus the fuel surcharge for a full day. The half day cost would be $154.00 plus the fuel surcharge.
11. The Captain may at his discretion, fish or direct a member of his crew to fish, to ensure that there are indeed fish in the area and increase your odds of reeling a fish in.
12. Fishing is called fishing and not catching for a reason. If during a paid charter, no fish are caught, we may offer you a discount of 50% off on another charter for the same people or offer you a discount on the charter itself. During a 50% charter, we reserve the right to fish during the entire time on the water.
13. We request that all passengers treat our equipment as if it were their own. Damage caused by intentional abuse will require your replacement or repair. Intentional damage to equipment is grounds for cancellation of the charter and forfeiture of all fees paid.

Decision on matters of damages are to be made by our staff.

Any request to have your photographs not included on our site or sponsors' sites will be granted once we are made aware of it. The purpose of the photographs is to document what we do when we go out on a fishing adventure. This is also a way for you to allow family and friends to see your photos without having to tie up their emails with large files. Your photos may also be downloaded by yourselves by right clicking and saving the images to your computer.
