Frequently Asked Questions

                                        **IMPORTANT**

All trips are subject to weather conditions and some days are better than others. Basic rainy days I do fish, however if I deem the conditions to be unsafe, I will shorten (pro-rate), cancel or reschedule the trip at my discretion. 

If the weather calls for rain, please bring something appropriate to keep you dry.

The captain is the only one that can cancel a trip due to weather. If a customer has to cancel their trip, they can do so up to one week before their scheduled trip without penalty. Any cancelations beyond the one week window are subject to a cancelation fee of 50% of the trip at the captains discretion. The captain is very fair and reasonable, so if you find yourself in this situation, please reach out so he has an opportunity to fill the slot you're unable to make. If the slot can be re-booked by another party, no cancelation fee is considered.

• A list of stuff to think about bringing for your upcoming charter would include sunglasses, sunscreen, maybe a sweatshirt for chilly mornings, afternoons, or evening. Snacks and beverages of your choice.  Casual alcohol is allowed for drinking aged passengers (no matter the time of day), however, for safety reasons passengers are expected to drink responsibly. - NO GLASS - NO HARD ALCOHOL     
• If anyone needs special medication for anything, please remember to have it with you and be sure to tell me of any medical conditions anyone in your party may have. This is mandatory.
• If there is anyone that thinks they may get seasick or is not sure, it is highly recommended they take Dramamine before getting on board. It is not effective if taken after someone starts feeling seasick. If we have to return to the dock early for seasickness, you are still responsible for full payment. If you have any questions before departure, please feel free to ask.
• The departure address is 96 King street, Scarborough, Maine 04074. There is a pedestrian walkway on the left side of the Stern restaurant that will lead you to the commercial dock. See you soon!
