Charge them for the spot. If they don't pay, ban them until paid.

No excuse for not making a phone call unless there was a medical emergency.

Can u take deposits?

I agree with Steve. They owe you for the spot. If they don't pay, they'd be on my banned list.

Take credit card info before the trip. If not set up for that have them mail you a deposit. You can also do a deposit through PayPal.

Protect yourself & your business. Take deposits via paypal. It's the easiest way to do it.

You can set up to take CC # over the phone. Charge the CC for no shows but ask for cash at the dock if you don't want CC surcharge. Personally, I think CC via phone is better & safer than cash at the dock.

You should charge them full fare.
They didn't even give you a chance to back fill there spot by not calling.

Chad it is very simple. Same rules apply when setting up charters or going on someones charter. If guy backs out for whatever reason. They either have to find a replacement if charter master can not find someone or pay for their spot. Their is no grey area here. I set up a few charters and am invited on many. If you break this simple rule you are blackballed and never invited again.

Unfortunately its the risk captains take without a deposit was it a dirtbag move of course but now ya live and learned and a no show list would go nowhere itd be right up with the buthurt and whambulence list with 3/4 of the people in this world however if there member on here and don't give a deposit have then post in your open boat thread like (kmaty in) when one guy don't show up and no kmaty on the boat then you publicly blast kmaty
