The weather looks bad, should I cancel my charter?

All cancellations due to weather are made at the discretion of the captain. Weather is hard to predict in SW Florida and the forecast can be wildly different from actual conditions on the day of. In most cases, we will not make the call to cancel until the day of the trip. Safety is paramount and we will not fish in extreme wind, rain, or lightning.
