   electronic mail to Calico Jack Charters at the following address: calicojackbookings@gmail.com or annebonnybookings@gmail.com.

       Changing a cruise date less than 90 days prior to departure will be treated as a cancellation and new booking of a cruise.

       5.2 REDUCTION OF THE NUMBER OF PASSENGERS:

        In the case of reducing the number of passengers on an individual booking, the same cancellation fees apply.

        5.3 SUBSTITUTE PASSENGERS:

         If for any reason, a passenger cannot make a trip that has already been booked, then the reservation can be transferred to another person. The new passenger will be subject to the contract conditions of Calico Jack Charters. Passenger substitution will be allowed up to 14 days prior to the day of departure. Calico Jack Charters takes no responsibility for changes to any bookings not made by Calico Jack Charters on behalf of the passenger (i.e. air tickets, hotel reservations, etc.).

6. CANCELLATION    6.1. If the reservation is cancelled, a deposit of 30% shall be treated as a cancellation fee. 

       6.2. If the cancellation is more than 90 days before departure, this deposit can be transferred to a future booking two years in advance. 

       6.3. If the booking is cancelled less than 60 days or less prior to departure 100% of the cruise rate shall be charged as a cancellation fee. 

7.  IN CASE A PASSENGER DOESN’T SHOW UP AT THE MEETING POINT BEFORE THE CRUISE DEPARTUREIf a passenger doesn’t show up at the meeting point (airport, harbour, boat, etc…), Calico Jack Charters staff will wait for him for up to 3 hours if informed, or as much as possible (according to the departure time foreseen and the other passenger’s expectations) if not.

   In both cases, Calico Jack Charters cannot be held responsible. The “no show” of the passenger is then considered as a last-minute cancellation. The passenger can’t expect any refund from Calico Jack Charters. If communication is established, then the guest is responsible for any forward transportation costs, to meet the boat within its scheduled cruise.
