Your name, address and telephone Nº and the best time to call you
___________________

Step 2

We shall telephone you when convenient and discover more about you so we can pair you with the right skipper and the right boat.

Step 3

We will then check availability on your behalf and make a temporary reservation.

Step 4

You will need to pay a 20% deposit to secure the booking and the balance will need to be paid by bank transfer at least one month before the charter date.

If charter date is less than one month away the full amount is due at the time of booking.

CANCELLATION POLICY

If you cancel more than 30 days before the charter trip date is due you will lose your 20% deposit.

If you cancel less than 30 days before the charter trip date is due you will lose all monies paid.

Most clients book up well in advance as this activity appeals to a niche group of fishermen who are very specific about what season to fish and when.

Please do not turn up at the dockside expecting to go fishing if you have not booked in advance. It will be more than likely that all the boats are already chartered and you will not be able to go out.
