Sarasota and Siesta Key Fishing Charters Details

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Sarasota Family Fishing Charters will do everything reasonable for you to have a great time on your fishing trip, but we do have some rules. Some are general rules for safety and other rules are for the protection of our boat and equipment.

 

Our fishing trips all operate under our complete Terms and Conditions listed below. Scheduling a fishing trip with us is your agreement to these terms and conditions. Please do not book a trip unless you are 100 percent committed to showing up. I am up the night before getting rigged and getting the boat ready and then i am up well before the charter and out catching bait at least an hour before the charter. There is nothing more upsetting and disrespectful then for someone to book a charter and then not show up. Life happens, if for some reason you can not make the charter please call asap.

 

1. The fishing party is limited to 5 adult guests or 6 guests if a couple small children are involved..

As a rule we do not fish through moderate to heavy rain or high winds, 

4. There will be no charge for a trip terminated by the Captain due to the bad weather. If we start a trip and bad weather moves in we can pro rate the trip at $150 for the first hour then $125 each additional hour or we can pause and then resume our trip when the weather passes.
