Question 2

When do I have to pay?

Accepted Answer

Please note that your booking is initially a request. Payment is only due after the charter contract has been finalized. Typically, payment is made in two installments, although the exact terms may vary depending on the specific charter company.

Question 3

Do I need insurance?

Accepted Answer

Specific charter insurance is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended. Most charter companies require a security deposit (caution). Additionally, you will often be offered the option to purchase a security deposit insurance or other additional insurance to minimize your risk in case of damage.

Regardless, we strongly recommend that the skipper take out skipper's liability insurance to protect against any damage or third-party claims.
