Charter & Rental Service Privacy Standards
Our charter services truly emphasize the importance of privacy and personalized experiences, catering to the desires and preferences of our clients. Offering the option for clients to choose whom they want to share their charter experience with allows for greater flexibility and ensures that they can create memorable moments with their loved ones in complete privacy.
The distinction between our charter services with a professional skipper and our boat rental services where clients can get a self-drive boat and choose their skipper, such as a relative, is a great way to provide options that suit different preferences and levels of involvement. This flexibility ensures that clients can enjoy the experience in a way that best suits their needs, whether they prefer the convenience of a professional skipper or the intimacy of having their own familiar skipper on board.
Additionally, the assurance of keeping all personal information confidential, including phone numbers, demonstrates our commitment to maintaining the privacy and security of our clients throughout their experience with our services. This attention to detail and commitment to customer privacy will likely instill confidence and trust in our clients, further enhancing their overall experience.
Privacy Policy Changes
We reserve the right to periodically update our privacy policy. Any changes will be notified by posting the revised policy on this page and updating the date at the top indicating “Last Updated”.
