Sailboat Beneteau Cyclades 43.4 - 2008 (refit 2014)

Similarly to renting a car, chartering a boat requires a security deposit. The deposit, refundable after check-out, covers you and your fellow passengers against accidental damage and ensures that contractual obligations are met. The security deposit varies in value depending on the model and brand of the boat. It will be returned to you after the boat has been inspected and is deemed undamaged. You can choose to purchase the refundable security deposit, or pay a one-off deposit waiver fee instead.

A deposit waiver is a non-refundable alternative to the refundable security deposit. The deposit waiver acts in the same way as the security deposit, in that it ensures any damage to the boat is covered. The deposit waiver is lower in value than the security deposit.

We partner with the top insurance providers for maritime tourism; Pantaenius Yacht Insurance, Hamburger Yacht Insurance Schomacker, and European Insurance & Services. This allows you to customize an insurance package, tailored exactly to your needs.

1) Charter deposit insurance: Insured is the retain of the security deposit of the chartered yacht due to loss or damage for which the yacht is exposed during the period of the insurance.

3) Payment protection insurance: Insured is the case that neither the yacht chartered, nor a replacement yacht is being provided as a result of insolvency of the charter company or charter agency or accident and loss of the boat before the rental period.

4) Skipper liability insurance: Insured is the legal liability of the policy holder in his/her capacity as skipper of the chartered yacht.
