We depart from Sun Life Marina at the Buffalo Outer Harbor. If you intend on spending the majority of your charter elsewhere, we can accommodate other public marina’s / docks.

We do our best to pre-plan all scheduled charters. If the weather forecast is inadequate, your charter will have to be rescheduled. Re-scheduling should occur prior to the start of your charter but in the unlikely event that the weather changes unexpectedly during your charter, your charter will be pro-rated and refunded.

Rescheduling is permitted due to poor weather conditions only. We check in with you on the morning of your scheduled departure and if the weather does not meet our expectations, we will reschedule your charter for the next available date of your choice. Note that cloud coverage alone does not constitute poor weather.

50% deposit is due at the time of booking. The remaining 50% along with gas usage and tax is charged on the day of your charter. If reservation is canceled within 3 days of the charter, the initial 50% deposit will be nonrefundable. Rescheduling is always an option and encouraged!
