Useful Information

Check in/out times

Charter contract begins at 5 p.m. on the day of the charter and checkout is at 09:00 on the last day of the charter. Weekly charters operate Saturday to Saturday.

*Please note the yacht should be returned to the base a day before the end of the charter contract, latest at 6p.m. for check-out procedure (refueling of boat, diver inspection, technical inspection). The amount of time required for check-in and check-out procedures is considered to be part of the charter period, and your actual presence is required.

 

Sailing qualifications

According to the Greek law, the skipper must hold a valid sailing license in English language or translated in English. Limitations such as daylight, inland waters and limitations in miles from shore e.g. 5NM in sailing licenses won’t be accepted from Greek Port Authorities so we advise all charterers to ensure that they have an international license of competence (ICC) without such limitations.

 

Cancellation policy

(a) for cancelations made up to sixty (60) days before your agreed charter day, a penalty of 30% of the total agreed fare applies

(b) for cancelations made fifty-nine (59) to thirty (30) days before your agreed charter day, a penalty of 50% of the total agreed fare applies,

(c) for cancelations made during the last twenty-nine (29) days before your agreed boarding of the vessel, a penalty of 100% of the total agreed fare applies

After you cancel, if the vessel is chartered to another charterer for the same time slot and under the same conditions, the above amount will be partially refunded to you, after clearance of the fare and only the amount mentioned under (a) will be withheld.

In order to exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw with a clear a declaration that will be sent by e-mail to our above e-mail address.

You may wave your right for withdrawal by accepting an extra 5% discount by our company, i.e. you only pay for 95% of the agreed fare which is nonrefundable in case you decide to cancel.

 

Insurance

Vessel is insured against all major risks (damages to hull, machinery, sea pollution liability, liability to third parties and equipment) with a deductible (excess), which corresponds to the agreed security damage deposit paid by the charterer. A deposit of 2,000 euros must be charged to your debit-credit card or bank transfer before check-in, which will be reimbursed in full at check-out provided no damages are made. Alternatively a deposit of 500 euros may be paid plus 40 euros per day as an extra insurance cost. You may also use your private deposit-insurance scheme, i.e. you can privately insure your deposit at a low cost, please ask us for more information.

 

Charterer’s responsibilities

Please remember that:

  • The charterer certifies that he or she has the ability to sail and navigate the yacht and assumes the legal and statutory obligations of the person responsible on board and. In case you need to refresh your sailing and navigational abilities, we suggest you hire a skipper for a day or two, please ask us for more information
  • The client should verify the equipment on board with the aid of the inventory list which we will be giving to him/her during the check-in. After the inventory he/she will go through a technical briefing of the yacht.
  • Charterer is responsible to re-deliver the yacht at the end of the charter at the same condition as he received her without any total/loss.
  • In case there is any technical issue/claim during the cruise our company should be informed immediately and not at the end of the charter, otherwise we may not be able to cover insurance claims.

On a skippered charter:

The skipper is responsible for the yacht and he/she assumes the technical control of the yacht as well as your safety. If for any reason you are unsatisfied with your skipper please notify the office immediately. All of our skippers are fluent in English, highly qualified in safety and sailing. Hostess / cook prepares breakfast and lunch on daily basis and she is also responsible to keep clean the common areas of the yacht

In case you need a crew change during your trip:

Normally the client list must be declared to the port authorities before the charter starts, so please send us the list clearly stating names / passport numbers / dates and ports of embarkation/disembarkation at last two weeks before your trip. In case of crew changes duo to unforeseen circumstances the skipper must immediately update the crew list. In case more than 75% of crew members change, even if skipper remains, the charter is terminated by law and a mandatory declaration has to be made to the port authority. To end a charter prior to the initial end date has to be officially declared to port authorities by physical presence and state that the charter has ended voluntarily. (law no 4504/2017).
