Hi and thank you kindly for taking the time to share your experience with Vitamin Sea, We of course are sorry to read that you did not have the experience you were hoping for, We have been operating in Bora Bora for 10 years now and unfortunately we still cannot predict a local storm coming very fast. The weather had been acceptable all afternoon and the forecast predicted terrible weather for the rest of the week so we thought it was worth to give it a shot so you could at least go out once on the lagoon during your stay. We never forced you to go onboard, you never ask about the weather either so I find your review quite rude. You were refunded fully right away. Regarding Safety, even if it is raining, you were still in a shallow water closed lagoon with calm sea so there was absolutely no safety issues there. This could have worked out totally, it happened many times that we canceled and then the weather turned out good. There are thing we can't just control. And yes, it is our procedure to ask confirmation to management before any refund can be issued, i don't see the problem in that. You were 100% refunded right away. I hope you will return to our beautiful island and have an opportunity to sail onboard our amazing catamaran with a nice weather. Sincerely, Nick
