Deposit Policy
We require a $100 deposit to reserve your Fort Myers fishing charter. We accept most credit cards and use the secure PayPal gateway for your protection. Our corporate name is Bananaquit Partners, this is the name on your transactions and credit card receipts. We wanted to make sure there wasn't any questions.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
Your deposit is 100% refundable until 48 hours before your charter. If you cancel your charter with less than 48 hrs notice, you will forfeit your deposit. Please allow up to 30 days to see a refund to your credit card statement. Credit Card processors are taking anywhere from 5 to 10 business days to process a refund, in addition we don't have office staff so we process refunds as soon as we have a chance. Your refund will show up within 30 days from the day we issue it. Please don't dispute the deposit charge until the 30 days have past. It is a giant hassle for us, and this policy exists because a couple of clients wanted to see a refund in a couple of days which is not a realistic expectation, its up to the card processing company.
Cancellation At Captains Discretion
If the weather is inclement, or some other last minute event or emergency occurs Captain Eric may have to cancel your charter. In the unlikely event that this happens we will refund your deposit in full.
Payment Options
We process credit cards with the Stripe Secure Payment gateway. You can pay with most credit cards, and we do not store any of your personal or CC info information on our site. You can pay the balance by cash or credit card before or after your charter.
Passengers Age 13 or Under
It has been our experience that passengers under age 13 don't have the hand-eye coordination or upper body strength needed to cast effectively. It is also hard to provide a USCG life preserver type 1 that must be worn at all times for anyone age 13 or under. These are the "Mae West" square orange behind the neck style life preservers, definitely not comfy.
Passenger Limits
Our Fort Myers Fishing Charter Rates are based on a 3 people. If you choose to add a 4th passenger, only 3 people can be fishing at the same time for your safety and to maximize your fishing fun. If you think about it, having more than three people casting lures at the same time is never a good idea. There is a $40 charge for the 4th passenger.
Departure Times
From Nov to May we have negative tides most of the time. For example if a normal low tide is zero, a negative would be -1 foot. This makes it very hard to get around on the flats until the tide comes in. During this time of the year the tide has come in enough to get out by 10am on average. Our goal is to have you fishing at the best time to be on the water based on the conditions.
