When Trip Reservations become a Confirmed Booking on the HMF website, the customers are bound at the point of purchase to your company's published Trip Schedule, Terms, Policies and any Cancellation Fees. If your guest cancels the reservation, you will receive IMMEDIATE NOTIFICATION via email, SMS and possibly a phone call by one of our HawaiiMarlinFishing.com customer service representatives.

If the trip cancellation is PRIOR to your company's established and posted Cancellation Policy on the HMF website, then we are NOT eligible to charge any cancellation fees on your behalf. The customer's credit card will be refunded. If the trip cancellation is AFTER your company's established and posted Cancellation Policy on the HMF website, then we ARE eligible to charge your company's listed cancellation fees and we will forward that money on to you.

If you customer DOES NOT SHOW UP for their scheduled trip, and only after their scheduled trip time has completely expired, then we ARE eligible to charge the customer’s credit card for your company's cancellation fee.

If your guest contacts you directly regarding a need to cancel a reservation, but has not yet done so, ask them to consider changing dates or altering their reservation.

We ask you to please inform the Customer that all fishing trip & activity cancellations must be completed through the... Online Customer Portal www.hawaiimarlinfishing.com/admin

We encourage and respectfully request that you communicate (phone or email) with our customers prior to their scheduled trip to ensure coordination. However, once our trip booking has been accepted by you, the provided customers are the customers of Hawaiian Island Enterprises and not the Charter Boat Operator. Our policy is that you allow us to offer all our value-added services (Transportation, Food & Beverage, GoPro, Drone, Fish Mount) to our customers prior to, during and "right" after the fishing trips. After 72 hours of our tendered trip completion, you are free to solicit the customer as your own for future opportunities.
