Step 1.
Carefully & completely fill out our Yacht Request Form.

Please be sure to tell us your preferred form of contact and indicate your choice of boat and the dates you are interested in. Note: It is more likely that a boat will be available from Saturday to Saturday.  

Step 2.
Immediately upon receipt of your charter request form we will ascertain the availability of the yachts you requested and get back to you immediately, making quotations.  

If you agree with one of our proposals, we will reserve the boat for you for a period of seven days. During this "option period" the yacht is guaranteed for you pending your decision. It is recommended to formalize your party's travel arrangements to Greece at this stage.

Step 3.
Upon receipt of your approval, we will send you the Charter Party Agreement for acceptance and signing.

During this period, the charter party should be confirmed by a down payment of 50% of the total amount to our bank account . 
Your contract copy together with the down payment becomes your booking confirmation. The booking is now complete.

AND THEN?
In the period from the booking to the charter start, you will have the time to organize your trip details. Please contact us if you need any help with that. See also Inventory List

During this period we will need from you the following information:

·  Crew List (names, passport numbers, dates of birth, contact info).

·  Arrival info (arrival day, time, flight, airport, etc).

·  Copies of sailing licenses.

·  Orders for any extras needed.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

TRANSFERS
We can arrange for your transport from the Athens Airport to the Marina of Kalamaki upon request.

CHARTER TERMS
These are clearly outlined in the Charter Agreement, which will be sent to you after your notification of interest.

What does the charter rate include and does not include:

The boat will be delivered with full diesel and fresh water tanks plus two propane bottles for the gas store.

INSURANCE
All  yachts are insured against risks from liability to third parties and damage to hull, machinery and equipment.
There is a deductible provision, the amount of which is related to the size of the yacht.

SECURITY DEPOSIT
You are required to leave a Security Deposit (guaranty) prior to embarkation in order to cover the possibility of damage to the yacht or loss of equipment which are not covered by the yacht's Insurance.

There are two ways to do that:

REFUNDABLE SECURITY DEPOSIT (RSD)
This deposit is refunded to you in total if the boat and its equipment are returned intact. In the case of damage or loss the estimated amount is withheld and the balance is returned to you.

or
NON REFUNDABLE SECURITY DEPOSIT (NRSD)
The recovering of the RSD or the reimbursement of any cost of repairs of damages charged in case of damages, are also offered with an extra insurance called Non Refundable Security Deposit"  at extra cost of 10% of the Security Deposit plus 150 Euros refundable if no damage.
This insurance is made on the name of the charterer, and reimbursement of damages costs involved are to be claimed to the insurance by him with our assistance.
The NRSD does not cover other expenses than damages; for covering other expenses which may occur, such as return fees (skipper and fuel) of the yacht to the end base, a RSD (1.200E TO 1.500E) is to be left on a credit card (VISA or MASTERCARD).

The subscription of non refundable security deposit is mandatory for all skippered charters.

SAILING QUALIFICATIONS
Greek law requires that if chartering on a bareboat basis, the Skipper must produce an original certificate or license from his country of origin attesting his sailing qualifications and experience. This original sailing license (not a copy) must be presented to the port authorities during the embarkation. Each sailing party should have at least two members having sailing competence, one as skipper (license) and the second as co-skipper (license or official statement).

SKIPPERED CHARTERS
If you would still like a sailing holiday but do not have the experience to take a boat out on your own, we can arrange for you to have a skipper.

Together you will plan your route and discuss your preferences. The skipper's fee is usually arranged with the skipper prior to the charter - approximately 130 Euro per day plus his food.

Security Deposit is due as on bareboat charter, please see above Security Deposit. The subscription of non refundable security deposit  is mandatory for all skippered charters.
