Terms and Conditions Sail in Greek Waters (the charter company) is a yacht charter and broker company. Subject of the company is yacht chartering, yacht sales and organizing of special cruises (e.g. sailing lessons / corporate trips / themed cruises). 1. Customer Eligibility Yachts are chartered without skipper (i.e. bareboat charters) only to individuals (the Charterer) who hold two international sailing certificates. Alternatively, the charterer is allowed to hold only one sailing certificate and provide a statement of a second person that she/he has sailing experience and can master the sailing yacht. Copies of the licenses (and skippers passport) must be presented via email when the yacht is booked. During the yacht delivery phase (check-in), the charter company holds the right to deny the delivery of the yacht in case the charterer is deemed not experienced to master the yacht (regardless of the possession of sailing certificate). The Base Manager is authorized by the charter company to deny such charters, for the safety of the persons and the yacht. In this case, the charterer is requested to hire a skipper in order to fulfill the charter. No money return can be provided if the charterer (who cannot master the yacht by himself) does not wish to hire a skipper and wishes to cancel the charter of the yacht. Our customers are highly recommended not to charter a sailing yacht bareboat without adequate experience, in order to have a safe and pleasant sailing experience. Before embarkation, the charterer is requested to present the original sailing certificate to the charter company and local marine authorities. 2.
