Making Alaska Reservations - all the fine print & details: A 50% deposit is due at the time of booking, or within one week of original reservation, to confirm your reservation date. The balance is due 30 days prior to the beginning of trip. CANCELLATIONS:While we try to be understanding about emergency situations, we are a small, family run business. Therefore, should you cancel your reservation at anytime after paying the deposit, your deposit less 10% will be refunded if the cancellation is received more than 90 days prior to your arrival. If your cancellation is made prior to the 90 day period, your full deposit can be applied to a future trip. No refunds can be given for cancellations within 90 days of your trip, unless we are able to fill your canceled reservation. We will work hard to fill your seats if a situation arises that require you to miss your charter. A "no show" on a booked date will forfeit the monies paid. "Trip Insurance" is recommended for Alaska Fishing Packages. All refunds will be issued in the form in which they are received.
