What is a fuel surcharge?
Given the increased price of fuel over the last few years your trip may be subject to an additional fuel charge on top of the price of your trip. This will depend on the current fuel price on the day of your scheduled trip. If a fuel charge is necessary we will ask that you make that payment on the day of the trip. You can call Captain Bill to see if a fuel surcharge will apply as you get closer to your booked reservation.

If you need to cancel your trip, we will refund your deposit as long as the cancellation occurs before 10 days of your scheduled trip.
