1. Yacht Reservation Process: To book a yacht with IDASAILING P.C. you need to provide details such as desired dates, ports, yacht size, and the number of crew/passengers. 2. Confirmation and Validity of Bookings: A booking with IDASAILING P.C. is considered valid and officially confirmed only under two conditions: Firstly, the IDASAILING charter contract must be signed by all relevant parties involved in the booking. Secondly, an advance payment must be received within the timeframe specified in the provided pro-forma invoice. If either of these conditions is not met (i.e., if the contract is not signed by all parties or if the advance payment is not received within the stipulated period), IDASAILING reserves the right to regard the yacht as available for other clients. In such scenarios, IDASAILNIG also holds the right to cancel the reservation that was initially made. 3. Option Placement for Bookings: IDASAILING P.C. offers the option to hold a booking request for a yacht. This option can be placed for a maximum duration of one week. If the charter start date is approaching, the duration for holding an option may be less than one week. In such cases, the holding of the option is contingent on email confirmation. Itu0027s crucial to note that IDASAILING P.C. is not obligated to accept a booking if the confirmation from the client occurs after the expiration of the option period, both in terms of date and time. 4. Sailing License and Experience Requirements: A valid sailing license is required to charter a yacht without a professional skipper. Greek authorities recognize certifications like ASA u0026 RYA. The license must be presented in the English language or accompanied by a suitable translation. A day skipper license is not accepted. The skipper is required to maintain an updated and authorized crew list on board at all times. Local port authorities may demand a sailing experience declaration from both the skipper and co-skipper. It is essential to understand that IDASAILING P.C. is legally obligated to reject any sailing license that is not recognized or accepted by the Greek Port Authorities. Furthermore, IDASAILING P.C maintains the authority to require charterers to employ a professional skipper if there are any doubts regarding their sailing abilities, either at the time of embarkation or at any point thereafter. These strict requirements are in place to ensure the safety and legality of your sailing experience with IDASAILING P.C. Compliance with these regulations is not optional but a necessary part of the chartering process. 5. Payment Procedure: A 50% down payment is required to confirm your booking. The remaining charter fee is due 30 days before embarkation. Extra charges incurred during the charter are payable at the start. 6. Pricing Details: The charter fee covers a 7-night charter period, VAT at 12%, an agent commission of 20% (calculated from the net price), a dinghy with an outboard engine, bed linen, bath towels, blankets, the first and last overnight stay in the marina, full galley equipment, electronic equipment, a full water tank, spare fuel for the outboard engine, a spare gas bottle, snorkeling gear, the Greek Waters Pilot book, and maps of the sailing regions. Costs not covered include berthing fees in ports and marinas (except for the first and last night at the starting base), the consumption of fuel and water, transfers, additional equipment and services, crew, and provisioning. Transfers from/to the airport, port, or hotel can be arranged upon request. Food provisioning can be done either upon arrival by the charterer or pre-ordered using a provision list provided by IDASAILING’s partners. 7. Cancellation Policy: If the booking is cancelled within 30 days before the start date of the charter, the entire amount (100%) of the charter fee will be retained by IDASAILING P.C. For cancellations made between 31 and 90 days before the charter start date, 50% of the charter fee will be retained. If the cancellation occurs more than 90 days before the charter start date, 10% of the charter fee is retained. 8. Chartering with Crew: If needed, IDASAILING P.C. can provide skipper. Skipper fees are agreed upon in advance and paid at the start of the charter. Skipper requires his own cabin and must be provided with meals or meal compensation. 9. Strict Procedure for Yacht Delivery and Redelivery: It is imperative for clients to adhere to the specific procedure established by IDASAILING P.C. for the delivery and redelivery of the yacht. This process is non-negotiable and critical for ensuring the yachtu0027s condition and readiness. Upon delivery, an experienced IDASAILING’s representative will conduct a thorough presentation of the yacht, known as the check-in process. This occurs sharply at 17:00 on the first day of the charter. During this time, the client must meticulously familiarize themselves with the yacht and all its equipment, confirming that everything is functioning correctly. The clientu0027s full attention and cooperation are required during this process. For redelivery, the client is strictly obligated to return the yacht to the designated base on the evening before the final disembarkation day. A detailed technical inspection will be conducted to assess the yachtu0027s condition post-charter. The check-out process is scheduled for approximately 09:00 on the last charter day. Clients must understand that it is their sole responsibility to return the yacht to the agreed location and at the agreed time. This includes making prudent judgments regarding weather conditions to ensure a timely return. Failure to comply with these terms, resulting in the late return of the yacht, will incur additional charges as stipulated in the Charter Party Agreement. This policy is enforced rigorously to maintain the integrity of the charter service and the condition of the yacht. 10. Detailed and Strict Disclaimer: By agreeing to use IDASAILING P.C. services, clients assert that they are in optimal health. This includes being free from any minor or major physical or mental injuries, illnesses, or disabilities that could render them particularly vulnerable to harm or disability while engaging in activities related to the yacht charter services. This confirmation is a critical requirement, ensuring that clients acknowledge their responsibility for their health and fitness suitability for the activities undertaken during the charter. Clients must acknowledge and accept the full spectrum of risks associated with their participation in the yacht charter services. This includes, but is not limited to, potential exposure to unfavorable weather conditions, the possibility of food-related illnesses, allergic reactions, risks of choking, various types of injuries (including those resulting from self-inflicted accidents or mishaps), and even the risk of death. The comprehensive understanding of these risks is crucial. Clients must recognize that yacht chartering involves inherent risks and agree to partake in the services with full knowledge of these dangers. Clients agree to indemnify and absolve IDASAILING P.C. of any responsibility for criminal acts, misconduct, or any illegal use of the yacht during the charter period. This means that clients are fully responsible for their actions while on the yacht and must adhere to all laws and regulations. Any legal implications or consequences resulting from criminal or illegal activities undertaken by the clients during the charter will be the sole responsibility of the clients, not IDASAILING P.C. This detailed disclaimer emphasizes the seriousness of the responsibilities and risks assumed by clients when engaging in yacht charter services with IDASAILING P.C. It is essential for clients to understand and accept these terms fully before participating in the charter. 11. Mandatory Awareness and Responsibility for Weather Conditions: Charterers are required to be fully vigilant and informed about upcoming weather conditions. This is a non-negotiable responsibility to ensure the safety of both the yacht and the crew. It is imperative that charterers understand that navigating in harsh weather conditions is done at their own risk, and they will be held accountable for any adverse outcomes resulting from their decisions. In situations where the chartereru0027s lack of seamanship or ignorance of severe weather conditions leads to unnecessary engagement of the Greek Coastguard, it is within the Coastguardu0027s rights to impose charges on the charterer. This policy is strictly enforced to underscore the critical importance of responsible navigation and adherence to safety protocols. Charterers must demonstrate competent navigation skills and sound judgment in all-weather scenarios to avoid potential risks and additional costs. 12. Security Deposit Requirements for Chartering: A mandatory security deposit is required for both bareboat and skippered charters. This deposit serves as a financial safeguard against any potential damages or losses to the yacht during the charter period. Clients are required to pay this deposit before embarking on their charter. The security deposit must be paid using a credit card, with IDASAILING P.C. accepting both Visa and MasterCard. It is important to note that this deposit is entirely refundable, provided there are no damages or losses to the yacht during the charter. In the event of any damage or loss, the cost for repair or replacement will be deducted from the security deposit. Should the cost exceed the deposit amount, additional charges may apply. The deposit covers each incident individually, meaning that if there are multiple instances of damage or loss, the client may be responsible for additional costs. Please understand that the security deposit is a crucial requirement to ensure the responsible use and maintenance of the yacht throughout the charter period. IDASAILING P.C. emphasizes the importance of this policy to maintain their high standards of yacht condition and client satisfaction.
