Feel free to contact us with the dates and the region of your choice, and together, we will surely find the floating apartment that best fits your wishes.
Select the charter base, the type of yacht preferred, the dates you would like to travel and contact us, to check availability. If the yacht type is available for the period and location requested, we can proceed with the booking or hold an option for maximum period of 7 days. This means the boat is blocked for you for one week – until your final decision is made. If you do not confirm the booking during this period of time, this option will automatically be cancelled. Please note: it is not possible to hold a option during the last minute booking.
Upon confirmation of the charter, a Charter Agreement (contract) will be sent to you. This should be signed and returned, along with your down payment, as soon as possible. Typically, upon signature, a 50% deposit is required by bank transfer to the provided bank account, the balance of the charter fee is due one month prior to embarkation. For bookings within 30 days of departure full payment must be settled. Please note that a booking will not be fully confirmed until the Charter Agreement has been returned signed and the down payment is paid.
We believe that one week is the minimum to feel the vibes of a sailing trip can offer, that is the reason why we normally offer 7-day adventures. In some cases, however, before or after the main tourist season, you can rent the yachts for 4 or 5 days.
We believe that small is the best when it comes to group sizes, recommending to rent a yacht with 2 or 5 cabins, depending on the size, meaning the ideal number of people on the board is no more than 4-10.
The security deposit is the amount with which you are liable in case of any damage that is the consequence of mishandling of the boat, happens during your charter.
All the boats are fully insured with Casco insurance, but the security deposit has to be made in starting marina by the client when taking over of the yacht.
Security deposit can be made in cash or credit cards. The security deposit shall be refunded in its full amount, unless the existence of damage or a defect on the yacht or the equipment is found during the takeover of the yacht, and unless there are no claims field or announced regarding the Charterer by third persons that are connected to the usage of the yacht.
In case of loss of or damage on the equipment, particular parts of the yacht or the yacht itself, charter company shall retain the amount (a part or the whole deposit), which corresponds to the value of repair, acquisition and / or purchasing the equipment or particular part of the yacht.
In case the caused damage has the consequence that yacht cannot be further chartered, charter company has the right to retain the total amount of security deposit corresponding to the loss of profit. The amount of security deposit is the maximum amount with which you can be charged for any damages. Everything that exceeds that amount the charter company will cover from the insurance company.
When chartering a yacht, depending on the sailing territory, at least one person on the vessel must posess valid nautical and VHF licences. Meaning, if you don’t want to hire a skipper, you must have valid licenses in addition to sailing experience.
If your licence is issued in a foreign country, please check wheter it’s valid for the territorial waters you would like to sail in.
Before finalizing your booking on a boat, please contact us, if you need any advice about necessary papers, licences.
You must send copies of your licences in advance to confirm the booking. In case there is something wrong with your papers, we’ll inform you in time.
You must have the originals with you on board so don’t forget to take them.
In addition to navigational and VHF licence, you must also have a certified crew list on board, and crew must always be in accordance to it.
In case some changes in the crew occure during the sail, you must issue a new list.
