Sailboat
charter requirements
Sailboat charters
require the charterer, the skipper and the
crew to comply with various regulations,
some extracted from the laws of the
destination country and others from the
charter agencies.
Failure to comply
with these regulations could end up in a
very unpleasant situation.
Most of the charter sailboats are insured against third party
for damages or personal accidents up to half a million Euros.
For your own safety
though, which is not covered from the above condition, we highly recommend
that you take out an appropriate holiday insurance.

Charter agency's
requirements |
Most of the charter
agencies will require by you that:
-
You should be a competent
yachtsman, with experience of coastal navigation, passage planning and
previous experience in handling a yacht of similar size to the one you
intend to charter. You will need to prove your competence with a
sailing certificate.
- You will need to leave with
the agency a refundable deposit to
cover any loss or damage during the
trip, that is not covered by the
vessel's insurance. The amount
of this deposit varies with size and
value of the yacht and it may be
paid in cash, traveller's cheques or major credit card prior to embarkation.
- You will be asked
to sign a
charter
contract (in several copies)
upon booking, or the latest upon
your embarkation. You will
also need to present your passports
to the company.
