Information

At Crysten’s AMI, we sail rain or shine—so if it’s just rain, your adventure is still on! However, we understand that certain weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances may impact your trip. Please review our policies carefully before booking.

We are the only company on Anna Maria Island offering a Bad Weather Guarantee to protect your booking from major weather disruptions.

• Thunderstorms or Severe Storms → If you purchased our Bad Weather Guarantee, you will receive a full refund (advertised price of the tour) or we will do our best to reschedule your trip at no cost.
• Heavy Rain (More than 2 Hours) → If you purchased our Bad Weather Guarantee, you will receive a full refund (advertised price of the tour) or we will try to reschedule at no cost.
• Light Rain or Showers → The tour will proceed as scheduled!

Our expert team determines whether weather conditions are unsafe. The following conditions qualify:
✔ Lightning
✔ Hurricanes
✔ Tornadoes
✔ USCG Small Craft Advisory
✔ Winds over 25 mph

If any of these conditions are met, and you have purchased the Bad Weather Guarantee, you will receive a full refund (advertised price of the tour) or an option to reschedule at no cost.

All sales are final, and cancellations, refunds, and rescheduling are not allowed for any reason, including:
❌ Personal schedule changes
❌ Travel delays or cancellations
❌ Weather, unless covered by the Bad Weather Guarantee 

• Available at checkout for a non-refundable fee of 10% of the booking total.
• Covers major weather events and named storms (e.g., hurricanes) that interrupt tours on the scheduled date.
• Cannot be applied retroactively (e.g., after a storm has passed and conditions are deemed safe by our office).
• Does not cover personal changes to plans.

If you decline the Bad Weather Guarantee, no refunds will be issued due to rain or other weather fluctuations typical to tropical regions.

• A $100 rescheduling fee applies to cover non-refundable costs.
• Rescheduling is not permitted within 14 days of your scheduled tour, except in the following cases:
  ✅ Adverse weather conditions (e.g., rain, fog, red tide, small craft advisories issued by the National Marine Forecast)
  ✅ Mechanical issues (qualify for free rescheduling by Crysten’s AMI)

• If we determine the weather will improve by your tour time and you choose to take a house credit instead, but the weather turns out to be good, a $100 rescheduling fee will apply.

To ensure guest safety and comfort, Crysten’s AMI reserves the right to modify reservations if:
✔ The reserved boat becomes unavailable for any reason.
✔ Unsafe weather conditions are present.
