Policies
All cruises require a minimum number of passengers. If we do not reach the minimum, the cruise may be canceled up to the cruise departure time. We will try to provide notice as early as possible if a cruise is canceled.
Cruises tend to fill up throughout the day and at the last minute. So, advanced notice may not be possible. If we do not reach the minimum and cancel a cruise, customers will be rescheduled or issued a refund.
Due to limited seating, cancellations and modifications must be made at least 24 hours prior to cruise time. Within 24 hours of your scheduled trip, tickets are already non-refundable.
Should you need to change or cancel your reservation, please call 727-423-7824. Reservations are based on a specific number of passengers. If this number changes, please call immediately.
Upon check in, incomplete parties will not be issued a refund or given credit for future use. Changes must be made 24 hours in advance.
We cannot wait for late arrivals. Late arrivals will be considered no shows and will not be offered a refund. You may be given the option to rebook with a $10 per person fee.
Activities may be canceled due to severe weather: Cruises usually run in light rain and other moderate weather conditions, but we may cancel the cruises in the event of severe or unsafe weather conditions.
If we cancel the cruise, guests will be allowed to reschedule tickets (subject to availability) or receive credit for a future cruise.
Guests will be given a 50% refund if their scheduled cruise is interrupted prior to halfway through due to sudden changes in weather. Once the cruise is halfway through or more, we consider that to be a full trip.
Private Parties: A 50% deposit is required to secure your reservation. The deposit is nonrefundable within 10 days of the scheduled cruise date. The remaining balance is due and is nonrefundable 24 hours prior to your cruise time.
Please Note: Your belongings may get wet during your tour. So, we strongly recommend placing all electronic equipment in a dry area before departure. Sunshine Scenic Tours will not be held liable for any damage to personal property caused by water or any other circumstances related to the operation of the tour.
We employ a zero-tolerance policy toward drug use and/or possession. Excessive consumption of alcohol and/or intoxication will also not be tolerated. The captain, at his sole discretion, reserves the right to immediately remove from the tour all passengers appearing to be intoxicated or under the influence of any drug.
The captain may also dispatch police or U.S. Coast Guard Officials to assist in having the passenger/s removed from the vessel without a refund. Sunshine Scenic Tours may also pursue financial damages for any loss of revenue or otherwise resulting from such activities.
