Boat Rental Booking procedure

Shortly after receiving your charter request, we will send you our charter offer with all available boats, according to your request. When you choose the boat that you like to book, we suggest to double check the list of its equipment. If you have any questions or special requests, now is the time to check them out.

When you decide to book the boat, we will send you all the necessary charter documents (contract, lease terms, payment terms and crew list form). Within 2 to 5 days ( depending on early or last minute booking ) you need to sign the charter contract and make the payment according to the terms of payment. Upon receipt of the signed contract and advance payment your charter reservation will be confirmed.

For bareboat charter we will need a copy of skipper’s license and VHF certificate before booking. Originals must be showed at the check in at marina.

Several weeks prior to the yacht rental, we will need filled passenger lists and information about estimated time of your arrival in charter base. With this information we can easily and quickly organize the check in time.

You can still book a transfer from / to the airport, order a yacht supply or other service.

At the end you will receive a Voucher for boat takeover with all necessary information about the base.

To summarize booking procedure:

• you select the boat you want and let us know of the extras (skipper, cook, snorkeling equipment,…)
• we send you offer for the boat and extras
• you confirm the offer over email
• we put an option on the boat for you (option is a non-obligatory pre-booking for couple of days, until we receive payment, so the boat stays free for you)
• you pay for booking via bank transfer
• we send payment confirmation to you with all booking documents (charter agreement, booking confirmation, crew list,…)
