Cancellation Policy
- AOC reserves the right to cancel or postpone any tour due to unforeseen circumstances. If any of our tours are cancelled due to bad weather, safety issues or insufficient numbers you will be offered a spot on the next tour available or you will receive a full refund.
- If you decide to cancel your booking for any reason and give 72 or more hours notice prior to tour departure date we will refund your payment in full. If you give us less than 72 hours notice but at least 24 hours notice prior to tour departure date we will refund your payment less a 50% cancellation charge. There are no refunds for bookings cancelled within 24 hours of tour departure date or tours purchased but not utilised.
- Credit card and Booking fees are non-refundable. All cancellations involving credit card payments will have their refund managed accordingly as per the above conditions, minus a software processing fee (booking fee) of 2%. These fees are absorbed by our software management company Rezdy, not by Absolute Ocean Charters.
