At Drumspot Charters LLC, we work hard to provide a safe, enjoyable, and hassle-free experience on the water. Please review the following booking, deposit, and cancellation terms before securing your trip.

  1. Deposits & Payment
  • A 25% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your charter date.
  • Deposits may be paid online or via approved payment methods.
  • Your trip is not confirmed until the deposit has been received.
  • The remaining balance is due on the day of the trip, before departure. Approved payment methods are: cash or debit/credit card.
  1. Cancellations by the Customer

We understand that unexpected things happen. If you need to cancel:

  • 14 days or more before the trip: Your deposit may be applied to a future available date within 6 months.
  • Less than 14 days before the trip: The deposit is forfeited and will not be applied to a future trip.
  • No-shows or same-day cancellations: Full trip payment will be charged.

All cancellations or date-change requests must be communicated directly to Drumspot Charters. You can reach us by viewing the Contact page or calling the Captain directly at (985) 205-3071.

Your safety is always the priority. The Captain may cancel or reschedule a trip due to:

If the Captain cancels the charter:

  • You may choose between a full refund of your deposit or rescheduling it to a future date within 6 months.

Only the Captain can make final weather-related decisions.
Clients canceling due to weather without Captain approval will be treated as a standard customer cancellation.
