“Customer” means the person, company or organisation booking a trip.

“Fee” means the cost of the trip as published on the PCC website or otherwise agreed in writing.

1.2  Upon receipt of the above PCC will confirm the booking by email.

3.3 The Gift Voucher can be redeemed against a more expensive trip, the difference to be paid in cash on the day.
3.4 Our trips get booked up quickly on a first come first served basis, especially in summer. Therefore it is best for the recipient to get a date booked in promptly upon receipt of their Gift Voucher.

6.2 Failure to telephone will be taken as acceptance by the Customer of any decisions made by PCC for the following day.
6.3 PCC’s decision is final with regard to the weather but we try to get out if possible with due regard to safety and common sense.

For example a wreck fishing trip may have to become an inshore General or Bass trip in the event of strong onshore winds or simply due to a lack of a certain species being present at the time.  Stag, Hen and Boat Trips or Ash Scatterings may continue within the shelter of The Menai Strait. The Skippers decision is final in these matters.
