Wellness Sailing Adventure

Booking Conditions — International

1. Deposit requirement
You are required to pay a non-refundable deposit for your booking to be confirmed. There is a 50% deposit required for a private charter. Deposits must be made within five (5) business days (Monday to Friday) from the reservation.

If a special charter has been arranged, a 50% non-refundable deposit will be required within 5 business days of booking.

If booking a date less than twelve (12) weeks before departure date, payment will be required in full. Confirmation of the booking cannot be given until payment has been received.

We prefer a bank to bank transfer. If paying by credit card, we will add a 4% fee to the total bill. If we do not receive all payments due (including any surcharge where applicable) in full and on time, we are entitled to assume that you wish to cancel your booking. In this case, we will be entitled to keep all deposits paid or due at that date. If we do not cancel straight away because you have promised to make payment, you must pay the cancellation charges as set out by us.

2. Prices and surcharges
Our trip prices are subject to variable and seasonal pricing, both of which are standard practice within the travel industry. This means our trip prices may vary at any time in accordance with demand, market conditions and availability. It is likely that different passengers on the same trip have been charged different prices. Your best option if you like the price you see is to book at that time. Any reduced pricing or discounts that may become available after you have paid your deposit will not apply.Our prices are based on full occupancy of the boats, therefore it’s financially impossible for solo travellers to occupy a double cabin at the per person rate.

All monetary figures stated in this package are converted from Euro (EUR €) to US dollar (USD $) and all payments are inclusive of VAT and any other taxes unless otherwise stated. Please note that due to exchange rate fluctuation, prices may be different. 

If you would prefer to use an alternative currency, please let us know.

3. Your details
For us to confirm your travel arrangements, you must provide all requested details with the balance of the trip price. Necessary details vary by trip; they include but are not limited to full name as per passport, date of birth, nationality, passport number, passport issue and expiry date and any pre-existing medical conditions you have which may affect your ability to complete your travel arrangements.

4. Special requests and medical conditions / disabilities / reduced mobility
If you have any special request, you must advise us at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour to accommodate any reasonable request, we regret we cannot guarantee any request will be met unless we have specifically confirmed it. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met. Unless and until specifically confirmed, all special requests are subject to availability.

Sailing can be hard and requires a reasonable level of physical and mental strength. You will be expected to be able to participate in all aspects of sailing a catamaran, and should be physically and mentally able to do so. If you suffer from any medical condition, disability or reduced mobility which may affect your holiday or have any special requirements as a result (including any which affect the booking process), please tell us before you confirm your booking so that we can assist you in considering the suitability of the arrangements and/or making the booking. In any event, you must give us full details in writing at the time of booking and whenever any change in your condition, disability or mobility occurs. You must also promptly advise us if any medical condition, disability or reduced mobility which may affect your holiday develops after your booking has been confirmed.

5. Cabin allocation
When booking a partial cabin (shared cabin) or private cabin, we reserve the right to change the cabin allocation. We respect a cabin preference, however there is the rare occasion we will need to shuffle cabin allocations to make the boat bookings work.

6. Provided or can be arranged on the catamaran
One set of linen will be supplied for everyone on board, including a towel and hand towel. We will also provide bed sheets (top and bottom), pillow, pillowcase and blanket. Beach towels are not provided.

Snorkeling gear, floaties and paddle boards can arranged on each boat. On the guest’s request, we can organize snorkelling sets and paddle boards to be available on the catamaran. Additional costs apply.

7. Cancellation by you

We also strongly recommend it covers cancellation (CFAR; Cancel For Any Reason), curtailment, personal liability and loss of luggage and personal effects. You must provide your travel insurance policy number and the insurance company’s 24-hour emergency contact number on the first day of your trip; you will not be able to join the trip without these details. If you have travel insurance connected to your credit card or bank account please ensure you have details of the participating insurer, the insurance policy number and emergency contact number with you rather than the bank’s name and credit card details.

13. Change of itinerary
You appreciate and acknowledge that the nature of this type of travel requires considerable flexibility and you should allow for alternatives. Our skippers will follow the itinerary, however, there may be circumstances out of their control where this may not be possible. The skipper has the authority to change the itinerary when and where he/she deems fit. These will be for safety reasons or adverse weather conditions. Dangerous winds may dictate we take another marina/port/berth to the listed itinerary.

14. Authority on board
Our trips are run by the skipper. The decision of the skipper is final on all matters likely to affect the safety or well-being of any traveller or staff member participating in the trip. If you fail to comply with a decision made by the skipper, or interfere with the well-being or mobility of the group, the skipper may direct you to leave the trip immediately, with no right of refund. We may also elect not to carry you on any future trips booked. You must at all times comply with the laws, customs, foreign exchange and drug regulations of all countries visited.

A responsible level of behavior and consideration is expected while you are on board our catamarans and you must comply with the catamaran's rules and regulations.

You will be liable for any damage or loss caused by you or by person(s) in your party whilst on board. If you or any person(s) in your party are deemed to be in our reasonable opinion behaving in a manner, which is likely to cause danger or distress to any third party or property, we are entitled to terminate our agreement with the person(s) involved without notice or refund. We also have the right to remove the person(s) involved from the vessel and have no further responsibilities toward the person(s).

If the matters are serious, the local police may be involved.

15. Changes
We reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time, without notice to you.
We reserve the right to change the pricing structure of our tours without notice.
We reserve the right to change any part of the itinerary, whether we published the amends online or not.

If there are not enough bookings on the trip, we reserve the right to combine boats, which may or may not alter the proposed itinerary.
