Califia Operations Survey

Your Input Matters

Your feedback helps us:

• Refine charter offerings
• Identify training demand
• Evaluate readiness for expanded operations
• Maintain high standards while growing responsibly

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. As we move forward with our operations and business plan, we are entering our first year of offering charters and instruction. During this initial phase, certain operational limits are required by our insurance carrier. Our goal is to offer the best possible on-the-water experiences while maintaining full compliance, safety, and professionalism. Your feedback will help us understand interest levels, experience, and preferences so we can shape our charter and instructional offerings in a way that best serves our community within these guidelines. Please complete this survey to help us provide you with the best and safest experience possible.

The information collected is solely to improve the charter business, and will not be processed or sold in any other way.
