What Happens After You Book

Booking with Yacht Away Now is a simple, owner-operated process designed to lock in your date fast and skip the back-and-forth most charter companies put you through. Here is exactly what to expect from the moment you submit the form above to the moment you board.

  1. Within 24 hoursYou'll get a personal reply from Captain Josh Wilson confirming availability for your date and answering any preliminary questions. Most replies come the same day.
  2. Within 48 hoursWe send a written quote covering your selected duration, captain and fuel surcharges (or all-in weekend pricing), and any add-ons (catering coordination, dock pickup adjustments, special routing). No surprises, no hidden fees.
  3. Date hold & depositA $1,000 refundable deposit holds your charter date. Deposits are refunded if weather forces a cancellation; reschedules are flexible within available dates.
  4. 72 hours before charterYou receive a captain's check-in: confirmed slip address (a private St. Petersburg marina), arrival window, weather outlook, and a packing list tailored to your itinerary — sunset cruise, sandbar trip, multi-day Bahamas crossing, etc.
  5. Day of charterArrive 15 minutes early at the slip address. Captain Josh handles the dock-line work, runs the safety briefing, and gets you on the water on time. Your only job is showing up.

Response Times & How to Reach Us

Yacht Away Now is owner-operated by Captain Josh Wilson, which means every inquiry, quote, and pre-charter question goes directly to the captain at the helm of your trip. There are no booking agents, no offshore call centers, and no auto-replies pretending to be a person.
