🌊 Important Update Regarding Trip Deposits

We have decided to inform customers about our limited schedule of trips for the upcoming year.
Why?
Our skipper and owner, Nick, will be starting a new job to support his family. Those of you who know Nick will understand how much this new role means to him — it’s something he has been working towards for a long time, and we (his family) are incredibly proud of him.
Because of this, we’ll be running fewer trips for the time being. This actually aligns with our original plan, as we always intended to take a break over the winter, just as we have in previous years.
What this means for Skylark
We are not closing or selling the business — Skylark is still very much here.
Trips will run as and when Nick’s main job allows, and we’ll continue posting availability as soon as dates open.
Due to changes in working hours and pager cover, fishing trips will be limited.
Current Deposits
Deposits can still be used aboard the boat, but bookings will be limited to select days.
Refunds
Although deposits have always been refundable, we are making customers aware of us not running trips as often as we have previously.
