Cancellation Policies

Weather & Safety

All programs operate rain or shine unless conditions are deemed unsafe by Half Moon Bay Kayak Co. Safety decisions are made at our sole discretion.

If HMB Kayak Co. cancels due to unsafe conditions, your group may reschedule at no charge or receive a full refund.

Once a service has been performed, it is non-refundable.

Rentals (Kayaks, Bikes, & SUPs)

Individual Rentals (1–9 guests)

Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled booking time. Bookings cancelled within 24 hours, missed reservations, and no-shows are non-refundable.

Group Rentals (10+ guests)

A deposit is required to reserve equipment for group rentals.

Final guest count is due 7 days prior to the reservation and will be used for billing.

Deposits are refundable only if cancellation occurs outside of the required cancellation window. Because group reservations require advanced equipment allocation and staffing, cancellations, reductions in guest count, and no-shows within 7 days of the reservation are non-refundable.

Participants may be substituted if someone in your group is unable to attend.

Private Groups, Custom Trips & Corporate Events

A 50% deposit is required to reserve your event date and equipment.

Deposits are refundable only if cancellation occurs outside of the required cancellation window. Within the cancellation window, deposits become non-refundable due to advanced staffing, equipment allocation, and operational planning.

Deposits may be applied toward a rescheduled event within the same calendar year, subject to availability.

Final payment is due 10 days prior to the event date based on your confirmed guest count.

Cancellations & Rescheduling

• Groups of 1–9 guests: Changes or cancellations must be made at least 7 days prior to the event.
• Groups of 10+ guests: Changes or cancellations must be made at least 14 days prior to the event.

Cancellations made within these windows will result in forfeiture of the deposit.

We allow a one-time rescheduling request, which must be submitted within the same cancellation timeframe (7 or 14 days, depending on group size). Approved reschedules will incur a $25 per person rescheduling fee and must be used within the same calendar year.

Guest Count

Final guest count must be confirmed within the applicable cancellation window and will be used for billing purposes:

• Groups of 1–9 guests: Final guest count is due 7 days prior to the event.
• Groups of 10+ guests: Final guest count is due 14 days prior to the event.

Increases may be accommodated based on availability, but cannot be guaranteed.

Reductions made after the final guest count deadline are non-refundable.

No-Shows & Same-Day Cancellations

No-shows and day-of cancellations are non-refundable and not eligible for credit.
