Safety is the consideration. All decisions regarding safety and or weather conditions will be made by the Captain at the starting time of the charter.

In the event your charter is shortened and the balance of your charter was postponed due to continuing safety concerns, weather concerns, circumstances arising from events beyond our control, or lack of available time remaining, the charter time remaining will be scheduled for an alternate date. If your charter was postponed prior to leaving dock it will be rescheduled. If your charter was postponed prior to leaving the dock and alternate dates ((three (3) minimum)) are unavailable from GLFC you may reschedule for a similar charter or a different type of charter from an alternate port as may be available from GLFC at a later date in the same calendar year. Should you choose a similar charter or a different charter the cost of the rescheduled charter will be adjusted to reflect the change in cost if any. If alternate dates ((three (3) minimum)) are unavailable and you choose to not reschedule for an alternate port you may at your option request a refund of your deposit.

Under certain circumstances GLFC may offer to reschedule your charter prior to the start of your charter due to fishing conditions and/or concerns for your comfort.
