Fishing Charter (Linda D IV)

Here at Linda D SportFishing Guides, we are an elite team of owner-operator guides that are in very high demand. We understand that unforeseen situations may arise beyond anyone’s control that affect travel plans. We believe in a fair approach to cancellations, our cancellation policy is such that it both protects the livelihoods of our guides in the unfortunate event that a scheduled charter must be cancelled and in some situations allows you to apply deposits from cancelled trips towards future bookings.

This policy reflects the rights and position of Linda D SportFishing Guides and therefore applies to all of our fishing charters.

Please call our office to inform us if your reservation is canceled for the following reason.

Cancellation Due To Bad Weather If your activity operator cancels due to bad weather AND can’t accommodate you on another day, you will be issued a refund. We will confirm if this is the case before issuing a refund.

If Your Airline Itinerary Changes If your airline cancels your flight or is delayed and prevents you from participating in your excursion, you will be issued a full refund. You will need to provide us proof of this itinerary change before we can authorize a refund.

In case of Illness If you fall ill before or during your trip and this prevents you from participating in your planned activity, you will need to provide us with a valid doctor’s note before we can authorize a refund.

Only your Captain may cancel your charter within 24 hours of
the scheduled charter date due to weather or mechanical breakdown
without potential penalty or forfeiture of deposit. Should your captain
cancel the charter you will be issued a “Charter Cancellation Number”.
This number is unique to your reservation.

Notification of cancellation outside of 1 week of your charter date must be made by email to Captwickers01@gmail.com or by calling 305-304-8102.

Notification of cancelation inside of 1 week of your charter date, there will be no refund for your cancellation. Unless, Captain can rebook the boat. You can be charged for the day lost at sea.

We retain all correspondence and document all phone calls as part of the reservation/cancellation process. When contacting us regarding a cancellation, be certain you receive and then retain a “Charter Cancellation Number” from our agent as this may be required at a later time. This number is unique to your reservation.
