Net Profits Sportfishing wants you to fish.  We really want you to fish...  

However, weather and water conditions sometimes make it impossible to get on the water on the day of your trip.  The captain will make this determination as early as possible and notify customers immediately.  The option of rescheduling or return of deposit will be offered at that time.  

Each passenger's safety is the utmost priority for each trip.  If unsafe conditions present during a trip in progress, we will follow the below guidelines.

• Less than 2.5 hours on water - Option to reschedule or return deposit.
• 3 hours on water - 50% of total charter cost.
• 4 -6 hours on water - 75% of total charter cost.

***All Charter Trips are 6 hours or limits of targeted species (whichever comes first) ***
