SKIPPER:

The company will provide a professional skipper who will follow the client's instructions for managing and operating the vessel. However, if there's a safety risk to the vessel, people on board, or others, the skipper will take control to ensure safety and prevent harm, following the company's instructions.

SKIPPER RESPONSIBILITIES:

The skipper plays a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and safe sailing experience. They are responsible for familiarizing guests with safety equipment and yacht functionality. Their primary duties include navigating, mooring, and maintaining the yacht, though they do not handle tasks like cooking. Acting as both a guide and a source of local knowledge, the skipper ensures a well-informed journey. They typically sail for up to eight hours a day, avoiding night sailing, and make decisions on sail usage based on weather conditions. Additionally, they handle mooring, refueling, and port procedures, though the client covers these costs. The skipper determines suitable overnight stops based on weather conditions and requires food and a sleeping cabin, which the client must provide. In terms of responsibility, the skipper is liable for foreseeable damage, while the client is accountable for any other damages. It is essential for the client to follow safety instructions and assist the skipper when necessary. If the skipper fails to fulfill their duties, the client has the right to request a replacement through the company.

TAKEOVER OF THE VESSEL:

The boat can be picked up between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. If it is not collected within 24 hours without prior notice, the company reserves the right to cancel the contract without compensation. In cases where the company is unable to provide the reserved boat on time, they have 24 hours to offer a similar or better alternative. If they fail to do so, the client has the right to cancel the contract and receive a full refund. Should the client choose to wait for a substitute boat beyond the agreed 24-hour period, they are entitled to a refund for the days the boat was unavailable. The company ensures that the boat is technically sound, well-equipped, clean, and fueled at the time of handover. Clients are encouraged to inspect the boat’s condition and equipment upon pickup and report any concerns before departure. However, hidden defects or damages unknown to the company at handover, as well as any damage discovered after the boat’s return, do not qualify for rental discounts or compensation.

CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES:

To ensure a seamless charter experience, the Client must submit a complete crew list at least 10 days before the charter begins. As the main contracting party, the Client is responsible not only for the charter but also for all guests on board. To facilitate a smooth check-in, providing estimated arrival details at least 10 days in advance is highly recommended. If a transfer service has been booked, including airport transportation, detailed arrival and departure information must also be submitted within the same timeframe. The Client is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all documents on the crew list, including passports, visas, licenses, and other identification. Additionally, the sailing license is a crucial document on board, and the Client is legally responsible for its accuracy and validity.

CANCELLATION POLICY:

# Cancellation by client:

If the Client requires canceling the scheduled yacht hire for whatever reason, the Client must quickly notify us through email of the cancellation. The cancellation fee you'll pay may vary depending on time you make it:

• If you cancel up to 30 calendar days before the start of your accommodation, you may be charged up to 50% of the full accommodation rate.

• If you cancel less than 30 calendar days before the start of your accommodation, you may be charged up to 100% of the full accommodation rate.

• However, if we or you manage to find another client for the same period you canceled, you may not be charged at all.

The cancellation fees are subject to change based on when we receive your written cancellation notice. In rare circumstances, such as unanticipated emergencies (such as a death in the family, a major sudden illness, or a significant accident), we might let you use the money you've already paid as a down payment for a subsequent reservation made within a year. There will be a 100% cancellation fee and no refund if you don't show up for check-in (non-show up) or depart the vessel before the scheduled check-out time (early abandonment).

# Cancellation by company:

You will have two choices if the company must cancel your reservation for whatever reason:

• They can reserve another boat for you, either from their own fleet or one identical in size and features if possible. If the new boat is less expensive than the old one, they will refund the difference based on the current price lists of both boats, utilizing the same discounts you received for the initial booking. The new boat is subject to the same booking conditions.

• You have the option of receiving a complete refund of all money paid.

SECURITY DEPOSIT:

• Security Deposit: Before you start your yacht trip, you have to give the Company some money as a deposit. This can be in cash or paid with a credit card they accept.

• Getting Deposit Back: After your trip, they'll give all the deposit money back unless something goes wrong, like damage to the boat or missing stuff, or if you didn't follow the rules.

• How Much They Keep: If there's a big problem, they keep everything. For smaller issues, they keep some money for repairs and costs, plus a little extra for handling. If the boat can't be used for the next trip because of damage, they keep everything to cover their expenses.

• Skipper's Costs: If you hire a professional skipper from them, the deposit can't be used to pay for their mistakes.

• Serious Problems: If you do something really bad, like sail drunk, sail alone when you shouldn't, or break important rules, you'll have to pay for all the expenses, not just the deposit. You need to pay these extra costs within a month after your trip ends.

• Lost Equipment: If you lose stuff like a dinghy or engine, you have to pay for it within a week after your trip.

INSURANCE:

• Accepting Risks: When you go on a yacht trip, you're agreeing to take on all the possible problems and dangers that can happen. This includes any harm that might come to you or your crew.

• Your Responsibility: You have to be careful and use the yacht safely. If something bad happens, like accidents, injuries, or things getting damaged or lost (during or after your trip), it's your responsibility, and the Company isn't to blame.

• Insurance: The boats have insurance for damage to the boat itself and for harm to other people or things. But if the sails get damaged, you have to pay for it. Insurance won't cover your personal stuff or stuff you bring on the boat, and it won't pay for things you break on purpose or because you weren't careful.

• Get Travel and Health Insurance: It's a smart idea for you and your crew to buy travel and health insurance when you book your trip. This way, you're protected in case something goes wrong while you're on your adventure.

CHECK-IN:

• Getting the Boat: When you get the yacht, you need to provide some paperwork and IDs for everyone on board. You'll also check the boat's condition and what's on it with a Company person, and you'll sign to say it's all good. If you say it's okay, you can't later complain about things that were broken or missing but not noticed at the time.

• Previous Damage: If some parts of the boat are messed up from previous trips, but it doesn't make things unsafe, you can't cancel or get a lower price. It's not the Company's fault, it's from what a previous customer did.

• Returning the Boat: When you give the boat back, it should have a full tank of fuel and water, just like when you got it.

• Proving You Can Sail: You might have to show that you know how to sail the boat. If you're not good enough, the Company might hire a skipper for you, and you have to pay for that. If you say no to the skipper, your contract ends, and you don't get your money back.

CHECK-OUT:

• When you give the boat back, they'll check if the fuel tank is full. If it's not, you have to pay for the fuel you used, plus a service fee.

• If there's any damage to the boat, you'll have to pay for that, as explained in the "Security Deposit" part.

• If you return the boat to a different place than you agreed, you have to pay for all the transport costs, including expenses for the next person who rents the boat, and a penalty fee of 300 EUR.

• If you're late in returning the boat, you'll be fined. Delays longer than 3 hours get a big fine, plus extra costs because of the delay. Bad weather isn't a good excuse because you need to be close to where you started for the last 48 hours.

• If you want to extend your trip, tell the Company right away. They'll check if it's okay, and if it is, they'll do the paperwork for the extra days once you've paid.

DAMAGES DURING CHARTER:

• If something happens to the yacht during your trip, and they fix it within a day after you tell them, you can't ask for any money back.

• But if it takes more than a day to fix, and it was a big problem that kept you from using the yacht, you can ask for some money back for that time.

• You'll only get this refund if the problem was the Company's fault, like if they didn't take good care of the yacht.

• If the problem is so bad that the yacht has to go back to the base for repairs, they'll try to fix it in time for the next customers. They'll only give you money back for the days you couldn't use the yacht if it was their fault.

• If something really serious happens, like big damage, the engine breaks, or someone gets hurt, you have to tell the Company right away and get official reports from other authorities. If you don't tell them and there are no official records, they'll think it happened because you weren't careful, and you'll have to pay for it.

LIABILITIES OF CHARTER COMPANY:

You will receive a clean yacht with a full tank of fuel and water. Standard check-in and check-out procedures will be followed to ensure a smooth handover. While the company will try to accommodate special requests, they are not obligated to do so, and no compensation will be provided if all requests cannot be fulfilled.

If the yacht is not ready within four hours of the agreed start time, you may be eligible for partial compensation based on the delay. In cases where the delay exceeds 24 hours, you can request a similar-sized replacement yacht. If no alternative is available, you will be refunded for the days missed, but the compensation will not exceed the total amount paid for the charter. However, the company is not responsible for delays caused by major unforeseen events such as natural disasters, wars, strikes, or severe weather conditions.

LIABILITIES OF CLIENT:

To charter a yacht, you must either have sailing experience or hire a skipper from the company. For bareboat charters, possessing the required licenses is mandatory. The yacht cannot be handed over to another person, nor can it be used for commercial purposes such as carrying passengers for profit. The number of people on board must match the submitted crew list, which, along with ship documents, must be kept on hand throughout the charter. Any crew changes must be reported to the company.

Compliance with the laws and regulations of the country you are sailing in is essential. Participating in races or regattas is not allowed without the company’s permission. Regular safety checks should be conducted while cruising, and in the event of towing, payment terms must be agreed upon in advance. The yacht must be handled with care to avoid damage or unnecessary towing. Sailing in strong winds or against port authority restrictions is strictly prohibited. Special attention must be given to the yacht’s sails and components based on weather conditions.

To ensure a timely return, the itinerary should be planned so that the yacht is near the check-out base at least two days before the charter ends. Night sailing or solo sailing is not permitted without prior approval. In case of bad weather, the base manager must be informed to prevent unnecessary search operations. The consumption of alcohol or drugs while operating the yacht is strictly forbidden. Noise levels in marinas should be kept low to respect others’ rest. Fishing or underwater activities require the appropriate licenses, and pets are not allowed on board without written permission from the company.
