Refund Policy

Last updated: 15 July 2026

Here is exactly what happens to your money when you book a trip on WataSeat — in plain words.

When you book

Your card is not charged. Stripe places a temporary hold for the booking amount. You may see it as "pending" in your banking app — no money has left your account.

When the trip fills

The moment the trip reaches its minimum number of seats, all held cards are charged. This is the only moment you actually pay.

If the trip doesn't fill

If the trip never reaches its minimum, it is cancelled and the hold on your card is released automatically — you are never charged. Depending on your bank, the pending amount can take a few days to disappear.

If the captain cancels the trip

If the captain cancels the trip for any reason — including weather or safety — you get everything back, always:

If you cancel or don't show up

Bookings are final. Guest cancellations and no-shows are not refundable. Book a seat only when you're sure you can make the trip.
