              On or about 4/26/21 we booked a Charter for 5/20/21. The agreement was for It's About Time vessel and Overnight night stay on the boat with check-in 3pm and a full day of sailing with Capt Rick. full fee was $715.30 We knew at the time of booking our 25% deposit is nonrefundable and it would be applied to a future booking and must be used within 12 months. Unfortunately, after consulting with our Capt on 5/19/21 the weather conditions were not going to be safe for our sailing. So we had to cancel, we left our pmt on the books to be applied to rescheduled trip. Unfortunately for us, Sailing Florida has since been sold to another business and the terms of our contract are not being honored. We are attempting to reschedule our trip, we were looking at various options for Oct. Each email from Jeff S has added more fees 1) increased our fees for the Capt and Ins 2) not honoring our Overnight stay agreement and 3) is now requiring a $1500 security deposit.

              New owners are trying to scam after we've already signed previous contracts to charter a day sail. They are trying to make us put down $1500 for a day charter which is not in original contract plus charge extra fees and they are trying to take away our overnights.This is after we paid for and took entire ASA courses 101 103 and 104. We want a refund and they are giving us the run around. We've already paid upfront for the day sail and the overnight plus paid for the Cap't and now they want more! Not cool! You have ignored our emails and phone calls and handled this so unprofessional. We will go to court if that's what we need to do.
