BOOKING - Terms and Conditions
A deposit of £100.00/£10.00 is required to secure a charter or individual place respectively. This will be returned in full under the following circumstances:
1. The skipper, as a result of bad weather, cancels the trip.
2. The customer cancels the charter or place for whatever reason, providing at least fourteen days notice are given.
3. The customer cancels the charter for whatever reason within fourteen days of the trip and the boat is able to secure another booking. Please note that a short notice cancellation of less that fourteen days, which results in the boat not being employed, or the individual place not being filled may render the customer liable for 70% (seventy per cent) of the full charter fee, or the full cost of any individual place where applicable.
Deposits paid for trips to the Channel Islands are none refundable.
No claim against the operator will be accepted in the event of his illness, vessel breakdown or any event beyond his control, including any "'Fish Species Bans" in force at the time.
Cheques should be made payable to Mr. S. A. Porter.
Booking requests will be acknowledged and confirmed in writing.
The skipper reserves the right to alter the type of trip or target species on the day when conditions would be unsuitable for the type of fishing planned. Under these circumstances, anglers are still expected to honour their bookings. When changes occur, charter rates for the day may change to reflect the type of trip achieved.
Miscellaneous Information
The pickup point for the boat is the steps at Fishermen's Dock, outside the white hut of Sea Fishing Poole, situated at the eastern end of Poole Quay.
All day car parking is available in the Thistle Quay Hotel car park adjacent to the pickup point. The current rate is £4.00 per vehicle.
Cups of tea may be provided on the boat when it is safe to do so, at no extra cost, but anglers should not rely solely on this for their liquid refreshment. Please bring your own cups. A microwave oven on the boat is available for the warming of pies and pasties etc.
Please bring or wear suitable clothing. It can get very cold on a boat, even in the summer. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency states that all persons on board shall have protective clothing appropriate to the prevailing air and sea temperature. Footwear should be waterproof and have non-slip soles.
Keep an eye on the weather during the days leading up to your trip. Please phone the skipper if you have any concerns that it may be unsuitable, otherwise he will phone you on the night before to confirm that the trip is on.
