The Short Answer

What Hurricane Season Actually Means for a Charter

The official Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, with activity typically peaking August through October. That doesn't mean the water is rough all season — most days during these months are calm, sunny, and perfectly fine for a charter. It just means there's a wider window for a storm to affect a specific date. If weather does affect your charter day, Boating Puerto Rico's cancellation policy allows rescheduling around it rather than losing your trip.
