CHARTER TRIP – CANCELLATION POLICY

This policy is in place out of respect for Miami by Sail and other clients. Cancellations with less than 48 hour notice are difficult to fill. By giving last minute notice or no notice at all, you prevent someone else from being able to schedule into that time slot.

1. All refunds are charged a 5% administrative fee

2. Trips may be canceled up to 7 days before sailing.

3. Between 7 days and 48 hours before sailing, we can work with you to reschedule the trip at a future time.

4. Cancellations of 48 hours or less will be charged full amount due, unless the trip is rescheduled for the same charter duration.

5. If MIAMI BY SAIL cancels the trip due to weather, we will work with you to reschedule your trip at a future time. If this is not an option we will issue a refund.

6. If a trip is purchased for a future date or rescheduled for any reason, the price will be held for one year from the original payment date. After a year, the price will be adjusted to the current prices, and the customer will pay the difference.

7. Lunch or the three-course lunch/dinner must be paid in full 48 hours prior to the departure date and is not refundable once purchased.

8. In addition, Captain may cancel any charter without refund for any of the following reasons:

Passengers over intoxicated

Unconsciousness

Aggravation of previous injury

Illegal drug use

Unruly or reckless behavior

Criminal activity or violation of the local law and boating regulation

Thank you for your cooperation, consideration, and understanding.

You should expect that the tour may be shortened or delayed due to weather or factors beyond our control, we must respect Mother Nature and we will not put anyone in danger. We strongly recommend that you do not have any tight schedule right after the tour.

Many young children have sailed with us and loved it. However, you know your child better and what is best for him or her. Parents must keep a watchful eye on children at all times. We want all guests to have a fun and safe tour! If you have additional concerns about children on board, please contact us. Note that every child is included in the head count regardless of their age, as it is established in the MIAMI BY SAIL License.

You are welcome to bring your own lunch if desired. Please avoid grease food or snacks.

You can additionally request la light lunch, or a Three Course Prix Fixe menu which are booked separately from the actual charter. Please refer to the price table above for trips that can accommodate these options.

The waters of Biscayne Bay are much protected and our boat usually sails smoothly throughout. However, if you think that you may get seasick, we suggest purchasing acupressure wrist bands available at most drug stores or ginger caplets which are an anti-nausea agent and are a natural alternative to Dramamine which can make you drowsy.
