Cancellation Policy
Private Charters
Charterers who cancel more than 7 days prior to the scheduled charter will receive a full refund of their deposit.
Charterers who cancel 7 days or less in advance of the scheduled charter will be liable for the full cost of the trip unless we are able to find a replacement.
Charterers who are a “no show” on the day of the charter will be liable for the full cost of the trip.
Weather cancellations will be made by the captain on the day of the trip. Any cancellations due to weather made by Shades of Blue Charters will not be held to the cancellation policy.
Group Charters
Charterers who wish to cancel a group trip more than 7 days prior to the scheduled charter will receive a full refund of their deposit if their group is the only group booked on that trip. If there are already multiple groups on the same trip, then rescheduling or canceling is not allowed. This policy is in place to prevent one group of guests from causing changes or cancellations for other guests.
Charterers who cancel 7 days or less in advance of the scheduled charter will be liable for the full cost of the trip plus a 25% crew gratuity.
