What happens if the weather is bad?
Your captain will consider wind, sea conditions, thunderstorms and other weather factors when determining whether it is safe to operate.
Weather in the Bahamas can vary considerably by location, so rain in the forecast does not necessarily mean your charter will be cancelled. If Born Free Charters determines that conditions are unsafe for your scheduled charter, our team will contact you regarding the available options.
