Rain Cancellation Policy
We will reschedule or refund 100% of your charter fee if at 9am on the day of your charter, the iPhone Weather app says there is a 40% or higher chance of rain during the specific hours of your charter. Weather apps are notoriously inaccurate especially several days out, which is why we wait until the day of the charter to make the call.
