WEATHER & WATER CONDITIONS:

We operate between the Intracoastal waters of Indian Rocks Beach to Clearwater Beach and the Gulf of America. The conditions on the water are extremely dynamic and can affect your ride. Always consider the weather, and the tide for the projected day of the week you are booking a reservation.

In the event of inclement weather prior to the departure time, we offer to re-book the reservation up to one year from the original booking date. There are NO REFUNDS for inclement weather cancellations. 

OUR STAFF:

Our staff members are trained to keep you safe and are extremely knowledgeable of the local area and the “Rules of the road” as set by the U.S. Coast Guard. They are there to make sure you have the most fun possible while keeping you safe through the entirety of your ride. We ask that you respect our staff members and their decisions at all times. Our staff members will customize your ride to the best of their ability based on customer expectations and special requests, but we cannot guarantee all requests will be fulfilled. Photos and videos are a courtesy and typically transferred over to our customers following the end of each ride, but due to high volume of sales we cannot guarantee the same day transfer. Please note that our staff members are instructed that taking photos and videos are deemed a LAST PRIORITY in the event of inclement weather or any other foreseen or unforeseen conditions deemed unsafe at our staff member’s discretion.

In this industry it is customary to tip our staff members upon return from a ride. Our staff works hard to make sure your ride is fun, safe and unforgettable so you can focus on the full experience! So please show our staff members the same hospitality they show you and don’t forget, “If you LOVED your ride, TIP your GUIDE!”
