If, as boat captains, Jim and/or James feel that the use of
the boat could be in anyway unsafe, due to weather or other
circumstances beyond their control, they reserve the right
to choose an alternative terrestrial site. Your safety is
our number one priority. In the unlikely event of a terrestrial
photo session replacing a marine session, participants will
photograph a variety of Florida’s desirable bird species
from land.
The cost of the Best of Florida workshop is $2500 per person.
