Weather Policy
We fish in a lot of conditions — that's what makes us DirtyBoat. However, safety is non-negotiable.
- Captain Kit Carson has sole discretion to cancel or modify a trip due to unsafe weather conditions.
- If we cancel due to weather, you will receive a full refund or the option to reschedule at no charge.
- If weather is borderline and you choose to cancel without the captain canceling, standard cancellation policy applies.
- Lightning, sustained winds over 25 mph, or NOAA small craft advisories may result in captain-initiated cancellation.
On the Water
- The captain's word is law on the vessel. Safety instructions must be followed at all times.
- All anglers must comply with Florida state and federal fishing regulations.
- Guests are responsible for obtaining their own Florida saltwater fishing license (or paying the short-term license fee through FareHarbor).
- DirtyBoat is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal property.
- Guests participate in charter fishing activities at their own risk.
