If the customer/charterer requests to reschedule a charter, Next Wave Boat Charters will charge a rescheduling fee equal to that of the original booking fee. If the charter is cancelled due to weather related issues (determined only by the captain), mechanical issues prior to departure, or any other unforeseen circumstance, Next Wave Boat Charters may provide a full refund. If a trip is cut short due to adverse weather (only when determined by the captain), the client may be eligible for a partial refund. Each circumstance will be evaluated individually, and the necessary compensation shall only be determined by a Next Wave Boat Charter’s representative. No-shows will be charged the full price.

Where can we go?
We can go anywhere you want too as long as the captain deems the activity does not impede safe navigation of the vessel. The Captain will always recommend a suggested itinerary.
