Cancellation Policy

If the hirer cancels the booking within 72 hours of the hire their deposit will be forfeited unless another hirer for the vessel is confirmed at which time the original hirer will have their deposit refunded

If the hire has been cancelled by Brooklyn Central (eg due to unsafe conditions) the hirer is entitled to a full refund of the deposit, or a suitable alternative date for the hire

Please note: Brooklyn Central reserves the right to cancel hires without notice. Generally, Brooklyn Central will only cancel hires if the conditions are not considered safe (usually this is because of wind - rain itself is not generally considered as being sufficient enough grounds to cancel)
