2. BOOKING CONDITIONS AND PAYMENT
You can book your yacht by phone, by fax, via e-mail, or personally in our company's premises. Fully equipped
chartered vessels can be used only after all costs and expenditures of chartering have been paid. It is possible
to make a payment in two instalments: -50% immediately after the booking and another 50% are to be paid not
later than 4 (four) weeks before the yacht charter. If you make your booking 4 (four) weeks before the charter
start date, or even in a shorter period of time, you will have to pay the whole charter amount (i.e. 100% of yacht
charter). The charterer shall also make a list of crew members with all necessary data and he shall deliver it to
the owner not later than 4 (four) weeks before the charter start date.
3. CHARTER FEE
The charter fee includes a 10% tax and the employment of vessel with all disposable equipment aboard at the
moment of delivery, whereas the fuel costs are to be paid by the charterer. The vessel is to be delivered to the
charterer with full fuel and water tank. It must be clean, in good working order, and it will have to be returned by
charterers in the same condition.
4. CANCELLATION
Should the charterer waive the yacht charter whatever the reason may be, he will be free to find another
charterer taking over the rights and responsibilities according to the owner's consent. If the charterer fails to
find a substitution for the yacht charter, the owner shall be entitled to keep the following amounts:
• 30% of the charter fee for giving the notice of cancellation 2 (two) months prior to the charter start date
• 50% of charter fee for giving the notice of cancellation 1 (one) month prior to the charter start date
• 100% of charter fee for giving the notice of cancellation 2 (two) weeks prior to the charter start date
5. DEPOSIT
During delivery of the vessel by the charterer, he/she will be asked to deposit money in cash or by credit card
(the amount is stated in the price list for each vessel), in accordance with the amount stated in the price list. This
deposit shall be considered as insurance for a possible damage and it will be returned in entirety after the
charterer's return in the port of delivery within a target date, and after a satisfactory post-charter inspection of
the vessel it is to be clean, with full water and fuel tanks and without any delay.
6. INSURANCE COVERAGE
The vessel is hull insured, i.e. against all sorts of accidents with charterer's participation up to the damage
amount (caution money) and it is paid both as a compulsory passenger and equipment insurance and as a thirdparty
insurance. However, this type of insurance does not cover accidents of persons on board, damages of
passengers' possessions on board, damages emerged by deliberate behaviour or by extremely careless actions
of clients and ther is no compensation foreseen for a possible loss of one or more parts of ship's equipment.
7. DELIVERY AND RETURN OF THE VESSEL
Delivery of yacht: on SATURDAY from 5 p.m. on.
Return of yacht: on SATURDAY until 8 a.m.
Only fully equipped vessels will be delivered to charterers. They must be in immaculate condition with fully filled
fuel and water tanks and such condition is expected on the occasion of the vessel's return to the charter base.
Possible hidden failures of the vessel or the equipment not known to the owner and failures that may emerge
after the vessel's delivery will not give the charterer right to a price discount. If further vessel ride would not be
possible whatever the reason may be, or if the charterer would fail to deliver the vessel at the appointed time,
he/she shall have to contact the manager and he will make a decision how to cope with the emerged situation.
Should the charterer be overdue in regard to bad weather conditions, the owner shall be under a duty to mitigate
his loss. Therefore, we advise our charterers to plan their routes carefully in order to return at the charter base in
the evening on the day before their check out. The charterer will have to return the vessel at the appointed time
and at a prearranged place.
Should the charterer be overdue, or should he deliver the vessel to some other
place, he would be obliged to pay a penalty to the owner in the following amounts:
• EUR 100.00 for a delay up to 1 (one) hour,
• Two day charter price for a delay up to 4 (four) hours
• Three day charter price for a delay more than 4 (four) hours
and possible costs emerged for the owner owing to the vessel's delay. A delay is justified only by reason of
force majeure, and the owner is to be immediately informed about it by the charterer. If the charterer comes back
at the appointed time without having filled fuel and water tanks, he will be charged by the owner for skipper's
(captain's) services (additional filling of the said tanks) in the amount of EUR 75.00.
8. OWNER'S LIABILITIES
The charterer shall have to deliver the vessel at the prearranged place, at the appointed time, in an immaculate
condition. If the owner cannot make the booked vessel at the charterer's disposal, he will have to assure a
substitution (with the same or better specifications) for the said vessel.
If this wouldn't be possible, too, the
charterer could be offered the following:
a) Appropriate accommodation for the time of waiting for the vessel for which the owner will be charged,
b) After 24 (twenty-four) hours of waiting it is possible for the charterer to terminate the contract with a
right to repayment of the already paid amount of this Agreement hereto.
Any other right to compensation is excluded. In case of extraordinary circumstances that the owner cannot be
able to anticipate, the owner shall be entitled to cancel the booking not later than 15 days before the delivery.
The owner shall have to make a repayment of the charter price according to this Agreement.
9. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF CHARTERERS
Charterers shall handle the vessel with care respecting all nautical and other legal regulations. The charterer
must own a skipper licence (stipulated for a certain area) and a licence for operation of the VHF radio station.
During the delivery of the vessel it is necessary to perform a test ride.
Should the owner or the manager consider
that the skipper is not skilled enough, he wuold have chance to acquire necessary skills owing to operation of
the vessel, otherwise he shall be provided by a skipper that is to be paid additionally:
• Skipper (instructor): EUR 150.00 per day + provisions,
• Skipper: EUR 130.00 a day + provisions (if our skipper would be needed for more than 1 day
on board).
The charterer is liable to all consequences owing to the operation of vessel by unauthorized persons. The
charterer shall not sub-let the vessel, charter it, deliver it to the third party, or use it for commercial purposes or
professional fishing. Furthermore, the client shall have to operate the vessel during normal weather conditions,
especially by night, thus, avoiding to sail out of the territorial waters of the Republic of Croatia and he shall have
to respect customs and other regulations.
The client must operate the vessel, inventory and equipment on board
carefully. He is also responsible for oil and water in the engine and he must follow the engine temperature during
the ride. Insurance doesn't cover damages that may emerge owing to the lack of oil in the engine and the client
has to cover such damages at his own expense.
Damages of the undersea part of the vessel requires inspection
of the vessel that is to be performed at charterer's own expense as well. If during the ride comes to sea damage,
the charterer may have the vessel fixed, but he must contact the charterer or the charter base manager. On the
occasion of a more serious sea damage, where more than one vessel have been involved, it is to be reported to
the Harbour Master's Office making a protocol for the insurance company. The owner is to be reported, too. If the
charterer fails to carry out the said responsibilites, he can be charged for the emerged damage.
10. COMPLAINTS
The owner will take into consideration only complaints in written form given at the time of vessel's delivery at the
port of delivery. They have to be signed both by the owner and the charterer. Any disputes and claims arising
under or in connection with this Agreement relation shall be referred to the court in Split.
