Honest, fair & straightforward
Cancellation policy
Captain Brian runs a small, owner-operated charter business. Short-notice cancellations hurt his schedule and income, so the policies are firm but fair, and always safety-first.
- Standard cancellation window: Cancel 7 days or more before your trip for a full refund.
- 48-hour policy (strict): Cancellations made within 48 hours of your trip are charged in full, unless the weather makes it unsafe at the captain's discretion.
- No-shows: Charged in full.
Bottom line: If you cancel last minute without a valid reason, you're responsible for the full trip cost.
Safety comes first, always
Weather policy
This policy protects guests and prevents wasted days on the water.
Automatic full refund or reschedule if:
- There is imminent lightning

- A forecast of torrential rain all day
If weather ends the trip early:
- The trip is pro-rated
- Minimum charge: 50% of the total trip cost

The fine print, in plain English
Terms to protect your experience
This is a hands-on fishing experience.
You cast, hook, fight, and land your fish.
Not for "meat-hunters"
If you're looking for a "meat-haul" and will judge the trip by the dollar value of fillets: this is not the right charter for you.
For fun-seeking anglers
If you want a fun, honest, action-heavy Islamorada trip with a captain who works hard and keeps things relaxed: you're in the right place.
Building trust
You'll earn trust here before the boat even leaves the dock.
