Charter & Boat Policies

---

1. All guests that partake in a charter with Days Work must sign a Safety & Liability Waiver prior to boarding the vessel. Minors must have this Waiver filled out by a parent or guardian.
2. All guests that join us for a charter experience must be coherent and able to follow verbal instructions from the captain & crew when needed. 
3. The remaining charter balance is to be paid before departing the dock. 
4. Children under the age of 14 are not permitted onboard. Children/teens aged 14+ are permitted onboard with a parent or guardian for their supervision. 
5. Alcohol must be consumed responsibly, please see below for our full Alcohol Policy. Additionally, absolutely no drugs (including marijuana) are permitted onboard. 
6. Any damage to the vessel or equipment beyond reasonable wear is not tolerated and guests must cover the cost for repairs or replacements if necessary.

We hope that all goes as planned for your charter but sometimes weather and life just gets in the way! 

Cancellations Due to Weather

Safety is our top priority at Days Work Charters, and we will always reschedule or cancel a charter if the weather and sea conditions will be unsafe for guests to fish. Cancellations that must be made due to weather will be made at the discretion of the captain 24-36 hours prior to your trip's departure time, this is the general timeframe when we can count on weather reports to be the most accurate. If the captain has determined that your trip cannot proceed as planned you will be offered the option to reschedule your trip or receive a full refund of your booking deposit. Please note, unfavorable weather conditions (like rain, temperature, clouds, and a slight swell) are still safe to head out in and we will not reschedule or cancel a charter to avoid those conditions, our Weather Cancellation Policy comes into effect if the conditions will be unsafe for our guests.

Cancellations Made by Guests
If you need to cancel your trip for any reason, we ask that you do so 14 days before your trip date to receive a full-refund of your booking deposit. Cancellations made within 14 days of the charter date will forfeit the booking deposit that was used to hold your date. 

[Revised Policy for 2026 and Beyond]

Young children are no longer permitted on trips with Days Work Charters. Children below the age of 14  are not permitted on charters, regardless if there is a parent or guardian present. 

Children/teens age 14 and above are welcome onboard with a parent or guardian present. If a child age fourteen and above is booked for a charter, our crew will contact you to discuss the child's previous experience on boats. Days Work Charter reserves the right to deny the booking if it believes the child is not well-suited for the charter package booked or that the number of children may create an unsafe situation. 

Days Work Charters prefers that there still be at least one adult per child/teen present, however exceptions may be made based on previous fishing/boating experience. Please call us to discuss further.

Guests that are of the legal drinking age are more than welcome to consume alcoholic beverages while onboard. That being said we ask that alcohol is limited to beer/light seltzers only, no hard liquor and no glass bottles please. 

Overconsumption will not be tolerated while onboard, nor will under age drinking be tolerated. If an unsafe situation arrises during a charter, the boat will return to the dock immediately at the discretion of the captain with no refunds or partial refunds for the lost time. Please drink responsibly. 

There is a ZERO tolerance drug policy onboard our vessel, this includes marijuana. If marijuana or other drugs in any form are brought onboard, the boat will return to the dock immediately with no refunds or partial refunds for lost time. Please be respectful of this policy, per federal regulations.
