Waterfowl Specialist Policies

Deposits

A nonrefundable deposit of 50% by credit card is required to secure your reservation. We request one person be responsible for payment and arrangements. Waterfowl Specialist will determine if a deposit larger than 50% is required due to the size of your party or the type of trip. Your credit card will not be charged until the week of the charter OR in the event of cancellation.

Cancellation Policy

If you decide to cancel the charter 21 days prior to the event, you will forfeit the your deposit. If the charter is canceled within 21 days prior to the event, you will forfeit the full balance of the cost of the charter plus add-ons. All sales are final. We request that you let us know of your cancellation as soon as possible.

Weather Cancellations

In the event the captain determines the weather to be unsafe to sail, we will work with you to reschedule the trip at a mutually agreed day. If the captain advises of the potential of bad weather and you choose to sail anyhow and the charter has to be cut short, you will be charged for the full amount of charter.

Multiple Boats

If multiple boats are required, Waterfowl Specialist has numerous guides that we can book to accommodate your party.
