Booking Information

Our website may use LatePoint or similar booking and scheduling technology to manage reservations, availability, customer details, scheduling, and booking confirmations.

We may receive limited payment-related information, such as payment confirmation, payment status, amount paid, transaction reference, refund status, dispute information, or similar details needed to confirm and manage your booking.

The total amount due in connection with a booking may include the vessel reservation amount, applicable taxes, separately disclosed captain service fee, and fuel surcharge, as shown on the website, booking page, checkout page, booking confirmation, or other booking details provided to you.

The captain service fee and fuel surcharge may be paid separately from the online reservation payment according to the booking instructions provided to you.
