Cancellation Policy
If We Cancel
You receive a 100% refund, if we need cancel for any reason.
For weather or fewer than six guests on a scheduled trip, you may choose to reschedule for a different day at no charge, instead or receiving a refund. It’s your call!
If You Cancel
| Notice before departure | What you receive |
|---|---|
| 14 days or more | Full refund, no questions asked. |
| Less than 14 days, but at least 72 hours | A Stormy Pirates gift card toward a future trip. |
| Less than 72 hours | No refund or credit. Full trip price applies |
Want More Flexibility?
Purchase Trip Protection at checkout to cancel at least 24 hours before departure and receive a refund, minus the Trip Protection fee.
The Excuse Locker
These are actual reasons guests have given us:
- “I’m too hungover.” Yesterday’s rum is today’s responsibility.
- “I got sunburned.” You’re a guest, matey—not a lobster.
- “My back hurts” or “I twisted my ankle.” We’re sorry you’re hurting, but the cancellation deadlines still apply.
- “I think the seas look rough.” Our captain makes the weather call and we will never go if conditions are unsafe.
- “Something came up.” Unfortunately, our boat expenses didn’t go down.
Within the cancellation deadline, the policy applies regardless of the reason. A creative excuse doesn’t unlock the treasure chest.
Missed the Boat?
Arriving more than 10 minutes after departure without calling to cancel counts as a no-show: full trip price plus 20% crew gratuity, with no refund.
Why We’re Firm
We keep our groups small and never overbook. Your reserved spot belongs to you, and last-minute cancellations leave little opportunity to fill it.
We’re family owned and operated, and we want to keep delivering exceptional boat days for generations to come. Thank you for respecting our crew, our time, and our policies.
Bring your sense of adventure. Leave your last-minute excuses ashore.
