​
I/We the undersigned, fully understand that we are boarding a charter fishing vessel to fish in coastal and offshore waters. I understand that I have a duty to exercise reasonable care for my own safety and I agree to do so. I understand and assume the risks and hazards associated with this activity. These risks and hazards include, but are not limited to, the following:

​
I/We hereby assume any and all risks of participating in these activities. I/We realize that liability may arise from negligence or carelessness on the part of persons or entities being released, from dangerous or defective equipment or property owned, maintained or controlled by them or because of their possible liability without fault and waive, release and discharge from any and all liability for my death, disability, personal injury, property damage, property theft or actions of any kind which may hereafter accrue to me. I/We agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Captain, crew or Awol Sport Fishing, LLC from any and all liabilities or claims made by other individuals or entities as a result of my or any actions during my participation.

​
I/We understand that inshore and offshore fishing is not recommended for anyone with pre-existing medical conditions such as circulatory problems, high blood pressure, heart conditions, pregnancy, Coronavirus, weakbones, etc. I/We understand that the vessel has very limited medical facilities and in the event of illness
or injury, appropriate care must be summoned by radio and treatment will be delayed until transportation to a proper medical facility is arranged.

I/We further specifically agree, on behalf of myself, my heirs and assigns, to indemnify and hold harmless the released parties for any and all causes of action arising as a consequence of any incidents which might occur as a consequence of my participation in any activities with or involving the released parties.
​
I/We understand that the Accident Waiver and Release of Liability shall be construed broadly to provide a release and waiver to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law. I/We hereby certify that I have read this document and understand its contents.
