    I would expect the guide to refund or offer to rebook.

    I once had a guide that dropped our reservation a few weeks before the scheduled date. He went to chase BP dollars instead of meeting the obligations he had already committed to. I though that was pretty crappy but he did set us up with another boat and we ended up having a good trip.

    Your travel expenses are just that, yours.

    Agree, and I find it hard to believe in San Diego he could not make option A or B happen.

    I can't believe any guide would choose to keep your money after failing to deliver a day on the water. Not sure what happens if the weather causes the cancellation though. A rain check would be my best guess but these things should be addressed beforehand.

    I would expect a full refund and if I had traveled to get there maybe a discounted trip in the future (or I wouldn't rebook)

    Guide should refund full price of trip or rebook.

    You cancel, he keeps your money, he can't provide a service, you get a refund.

    This guide required 50% deposit. And if we were to "last minute" cancel, he would keep the deposit.

    Well that's good that he set you up with another guide.
