When returning from your charter, please allow time for fueling, washing the boat down, general clean up, and removing your gear from the boat. You are responsible for fueling charges and holding tank pumpout fees upon your return. We also have a post-charter check list we would like to review with you before your departure. Experience tells us that this generally takes about 2-3 hours. The vessel must be in her slip with our check out complete no later than 1700 hours. Overtime charges apply for late returners.
