Additional Information

Check-in details

Please be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your rental time. Your scheduled rental time is your scheduled departure time.
If you are running late, this will take away from your total rental time. If we are able to accommodate a later arrival time, we will do our best but this is not a guarantee especially for 8 hour rentals

Restrictions

Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate electric wheelchairs on our pontoons at this time. We do currently have ramp access to our Coastal Cruiser Charter boat!
If you have any questions about accommodations or how we can best support you for your rental, please contact us at (850) 776 2635 to find out more!

Cancellations

All Cancellations require a 24 hour notice for a full refund. Any trip cancelled within 24 hours will be charged in full. If a lightning storm or small craft advisory prevents us from releasing the vessel, you will not be charged. Intermittent rain and/or clouds will not constitute grounds for cancellation.
