The total charter rate is payable in up to 3 installments, according to the following schedule:

• 35% of the charter fee + 13% VAT + APA 6 weeks before the start of your charter

2. Cancellation policy

1) Should notice of cancellation be given by the Charterer on or at any time before the commencement of the Charter Period, the Charter Fee shall be retained by the Owner as follows:

• After the Charter Agreement is signed and any installments paid, but before the final installment is due to be paid, the Owner shall be entitled to consider the deposit and any other installments paid as the Charter Cancellation Fee.
• Should the Charterer fail, after receiving notice, to settle any overdue payments, the Owner will give the Charterer Notice of Cancellation Due to Overdue Payment. Any amount of the Charter Fee received by the Owner up to the delivery of the Notice of Cancellation will be considered as the Charter Cancellation Fee.

2) In the event that the Charterer is prevented from starting the charter due to reasons of force majeure immediately before the start of the charter (10 days or less before the start of the Charter Period), the Charterer reserves the right to either postpone the charter or terminate the Yacht Charter Agreement by notifying the Owner in writing.

3. Charter duration

The charter duration shall be mutually agreed upon between the Owner and the Charterer by setting a Charter Period, i.e., the start and end dates of the charter. The Charter Period starts at Port of Delivery and ends at Port of Re-Delivery, both of which shall be defined by the Owner and Charterer in the Yacht Charter Agreement.

4. Yacht condition

1) The owner shall deliver the vessel to the Port of Delivery at the beginning of the Charter Period in full commission and working order, seaworthy, clean, and ready for service, equipped in full, including up-to-date safety and life-saving equipment (including life jackets for children, if any are part of the Charterer’s Party).

2) The Charterer shall re-deliver the vessel to the Owner at the Port of Re-Delivery in as good a condition as at delivery, except for fair wear and tear arising from ordinary use.

5. Weather conditions

Your Captain prioritizes your safety above all else, including weather-related considerations. While we’ll do everything in our power to adhere to your desired itinerary, note that there might be potential changes due to weather conditions.

6. Charterer’s responsibilities

6.1 The Charterer shall not, at any time during the charter, permit on board more than the maximum number of guests stated in the Yacht Charter Agreement.

6.7 Should the Charterer or any of their Guests commit any offense against the laws and regulations of any country whose waters the vessel is in resulting in any member of the Crew being detained, fined, or imprisoned or the vessel being detained, arrested, or seized, the Charterer shall indemnify the Owner against all loss, damage, and expense incurred as a result. In such a case, the Owner reserves the right to terminate the Yacht Charter Agreement.

7. Captain’s authority

7.1 The Captain shall comply with all reasonable orders given by the Charterer regarding the management, operation, and movement of the vessel, wind, weather, and other circumstances.

7.2 The Captain shall not be obliged to comply with any order which, in his reasonable opinion, might result in the vessel’s moving to any port or place that is not safe or suitable for her to be in or which might result in the Charterer’s failure to re-deliver the vessel upon the expiration of the Charter Period.

7.3 With particular regard to the use of water sports equipment, the Captain has the authority to prohibit the use by the Charterer or any or all of their Guests if, in his reasonable opinion, they are not competent to operate such equipment, are behaving in an unreasonable manner, or are failing to show due concern to other persons while operating the equipment.

8. Insurance

8.1 Travel Insurance, Cancellation/Curtailment Insurance, and Charterer’s Liability Insurance are highly recommended and should be sourced by the Charterer in their country of residence.

8.2 The Owner guarantees that the vessel, as well as passengers and crew on it, are properly insured in accordance with Croatian law.

9. Refund policy

9.1 Should the Charterer be prevented from starting the charter for any reason, the Charterer reserves the right to find a Third Party and assign the Yacht Charter Agreement to such a Third Party. In this case, the Third Party assumes the responsibility of paying the Charter Fee to the Owner and the Charterer will be refunded the Charter Fee paid up to the point of assignment.

9.2 Should the Charterer be prevented from starting the charter for reasons due to force majeure, all payments made under the Yacht Charter Agreement shall be repaid to the Charterer, without interest or penalty, with a deduction of bank transfer costs and commissions.
