Questions, answered

Good to know

What is included in the price?

The weekly charter fee covers the yacht, its standard equipment, insurance of the hull and the mandatory extras we list on every yacht page — typically final cleaning and bed linen. The transit log, fuel, marina fees outside the base, food and drinks and any optional extras (skipper, paddle-board, outboard) are extra and shown before you pay.

How does the security deposit work?

A refundable security deposit is pre-authorised on a credit card at check-in at the marina — it is not charged. It is released after the yacht is returned undamaged. The amount is shown on each yacht page.

How do I pay?

You pay the full charter price online by card when you book — there is no balance to pay later. Anything payable at the marina (such as the refundable security deposit) is shown separately before you confirm. Prices are in euros.
