Charters & Cruises
Clients are kindly asked to review and adhere to the details below regarding our payment methods and deposit information.
Deposit Information & Payment Methods
In order to reserve a date for a charter, clients are asked to submit a non-refundable deposit.
For folks based in the USA, the deposit can be made via Venmo or Zelle. For folks based in Bermuda and elsewhere, a deposit can be made via wire transfer. Further details are noted below.
The remaining balance can be made on the day of the charter in CASH (only) directly to Captain Jim West. Both USA and BDA dollars are accepted.

Please note: on the day of the charter, we do not accept payment wire transfer, via debit or credit card, Venmo, PayPal, etc.
VENMO • ZELLE
Clients based out of the USA may opt to use Venmo or Zelle to pay their deposit to Melanie Fiander West (Captain Jim’s Wife). These option are available in the USA only; users must have a bank account in the USA and a Social Security Number from the USA in order to use Venmo and Zelle. Please allow 2-3 business days for funds to transfer via Venmo and Zelle.
When using Venmo, we kindly ask clients to NOT select the “Turn on for Purchases” button - also known as - adding “Payment Protection” because this action will charge Melanie a fee. Clients who send payments with "payment protection" turned on will receive their funds back and will be asked to resubmit payment without "payment protection" turned on in order to complete the booking. See example.
Zelle’s software is compatible with several different banking apps and websites in the USA. Please click “here” to see if your bank uses Zelle. If your bank does not use Zelle, you can download the Zelle App to send funds this way. Apple users: click “here” to download the app.
