We’re a small business, booking staff as our course bookings allow. Our course fees pay for insurance, regulatory compliance, rates, rents, fuel and all the typical outgoings a business such as ours encounters. As such, late cancellations can leave us with unviable courses. Our mantra has always been to make powerboating accessible, and the courses are priced as such to be as low cost as possible. We do not include a buffer in course fees for late notice cancellations. As such, our cancellation policy is as follows:
More than 2 weeks prior to course commencement date
The deposit tendered, 50% of course fees, is non-refundable. Any balance above 50% of course fees paid by the customer will be returned.
Cancellation within 2 weeks of course commencement date
The entire fee tendered is forfeited.
Non-attendance or leaving course early.
The entire fee tendered is forfeited.
Atlantic Marine Training reserves the right to cancel any booking at any time without prior notice where we believe on reasonable grounds that this is necessary due to unsuitable conditions. Cancelling a booking should not be confused with the need to reschedule a sailing lesson due to weather. Where a lesson is rescheduled, this does not count as a cancellation. Non-attendance at a course or leaving during a course will result in the entire fee tendered being forfeited.
