why did you not phone him and try to get all the facts right and hear what went wrong before you publically shame him?
the guys try to make a living and its hard enough with those weather changes, surely they dont need negative publicity on top!
i know Peter as a very approachable and reliable skipper.

Hold on it's not the customours job to check I the boats still going out. Regardless what happened if the skipper does not contact you to say other wise it's on. Something might if happened but would the skipper like it if some one booked the full boat and didn't bother cancelling it? They have a big enough fit if you cancel it with notice.

Every charter boat I have ever booked, I have been asked to call before 7pm the previous night to check it is on, albeit usually for weather reasons. I think that is fair, takes me 1 call as opposed to a skipper phoning up to 12 people per night. Also do you expect a skipper to take a note of every customer's phone number when they phone/email weeks/months in advance? Of course not, he could never keep up, totally unworkable.
If it were me today turning up and the boat did not show I would be totally gutted, but we don't know the whole story.

thats the thing, Mark
I have never ever heard a concern about Peter not being reliable as a skipper. Also looking at the weather today, i doubt it was a weather cancellation. Something else must have happened and i clearly would give him credit and wait until the story unfolds.

well don't book again there are other boats bad crack not to inform you
Not saying he is unreliable just saying it's bad crack, and the skipper would not be happy if it was done to him
I haven't shamed the guy I've been out before with Peter,just think it bad crack,I found he rang others but not all,may b they were regulars
M8,I didn't mean too have I go at the lad,I was just saying it was bad crack he text me last nite at half eleven saying everything was fine for today that's all I was just a bit hacked of

He has done well recently (taken from another site)
He must be having some more problems i saw him towed back twice problems with diesel can be a nightmare most of the boats have been pulling good fish in lately
