Each yacht has its own individual Cancellation/Reschedule Policy. (Refer to brochure – T&C Section)

Within the limit of yacht capacity, additional guests can join the charter but additional cost may apply. We must be informed 48 hours before charter date. Check with our service team before bringing an additional guest on-board.
Please also note that there will be no refund if there is a shortfall of guests on the day of the charter.

Please check with the crew if they have any designated smoking areas before you light up.

Is scuba diving equipment and air included in the charter fee?
This varies from yacht to yacht. Some boats are fully equipped with scuba equipment. For diving, we can help you organize diving with a local dive shop’s partner.
Will a crewed yacht be private for our honeymoon?
A crewed yacht rental is a great way to celebrate your honeymoon. Crews are always respectful of guests’ privacy and we will only recommend yachts most suited for a romantic vacation.
Is a crewed charter safe for young children?
Most captain will accept children able to swim; some yachts have a minimum age requirement. Children are always under responsibility and supervision of the parents or the adult client booking the cruise.
Are there water toys on board?
Several of our yachts have water toys available. Please check with us for availability.
How much luggage can we bring?
We recommend soft luggage if possible for ease of stowage as stowage space is often limited on private yachts. Some yachts will be able to store your empty luggage elsewhere once you have unpacked – but on other yachts, you will have to keep your cases in your cabin.
