Company Policy

1. RENTAL PRICE

 The rental price includes the use of a fully equipped vessel, insurance for the vessel’s value (exceeding the security deposit), and personal insurance for the crew members. Fuel costs, mooring fees outside the home port, and other extra services are not included.

2. PAYMENT METHOD

A 50% deposit of the total boat price is due upon booking confirmation. The remaining 50% is due on the rental date. This payment method cannot be changed without the Lessor’s consent. Final billing will be issued after a final inspection of the boat, upon its return to the port of destination, or, if the deposit was paid by credit card, the following day, unless otherwise expressly agreed by both parties.

3. LESSEE’S OBLIGATIONS

1. The Lessee is obligated to navigate solely and exclusively within Spanish territorial waters. To navigate outside these waters, prior written consent must be obtained from the Lessor. The Lessee agrees not to rent or lend the vessel to third parties, not to participate in regattas of any kind (except with the Lessor’s express permission), not to engage in coastal shipping or professional fishing, not to give navigation courses or use the vessel for any other profit-making purpose, and to navigate only under favorable weather conditions. For any of the aforementioned activities, express permission must be obtained from the Lessor.
2. The Renter must comply with all laws and regulations related to customs procedures and must keep a logbook and maintain the vessel’s inventory during the charter period. If the Renter does not hire a skipper, they must present a valid boating license (minimum PNV Sailing Certificate) demonstrating their nautical skills if they wish to crew the vessel.
3. The Renter will be responsible for any infractions committed, in accordance with current Spanish laws, even if he is crewing the ship outside the rental period.

4. DOCUMENTATION

The Lessor will receive all necessary documentation from the Lessee, as well as a security deposit to cover any damage or defects during the rental period. It is necessary to keep this documentation in a safe place for the duration of the rental

5. DELIVERY OF THE SHIP

The Lessor is obligated to deliver the vessel in good condition, clean and ready to sail, with a full reserve fuel tank (unless otherwise expressly agreed with the Lessee). Before signing the aforementioned contract, the Lessee must inspect the chartered vessel, paying particular attention to the equipment and inventory. Finding any fault or defect during the inspection that does not impede the vessel’s proper operation does not entitle the Lessee to a reduction in the initial price stated in the offer.

6. SECURITY DEPOSIT

Upon signing the documentation and boarding the vessel, the client must pay a security deposit to cover any damage, misuse, or collision to the vessel not covered by the Insurance Policy. The security deposit amount will depend on the vessel and will be specified in the Contract. The security deposit can be paid by credit card, bank transfer, or cash. The deposit will be refunded once the vessel has been inspected after being delivered to the port of destination

7. EXTENSION OF THE LEASE

Should the Tenant wish to extend the rental, they must contact the Landlord with reasonable notice and request written consent for the extension, indicating the new dates and itinerary.

8. CANCELLATIONS

If the Renter cancels the rental for any reason after the boat has been delivered, the Lessor will retain the full rental amount as compensation for damages and will charge the Renter all expenses incurred due to the cancellation, unless the boat can be re-rented on dates previously agreed upon by the Renter. If the Renter cancels the rental 4 weeks before the service is provided, the Lessor will retain 50% of the total price until a client is found for the previously reserved dates. If the boat cannot be rented, this amount will not be refunded to the Renter. If the cancellation is communicated less than 4 weeks in advance, the penalty will be 100%, following the same criteria outlined above. In any case, only the amount recovered will be refunded.

9. DAMAGES

The Renter must immediately inform the Lessor in the event of any damage, collision, or deterioration of the vessel, regardless of the cause. The Renter must immediately inform the Lessor of any necessary repairs or the need for spare parts. Any repairs or alterations not authorized by the Lessor will be charged directly to the Renter. Any damage, loss, or loss caused by improper use by the Renter and their crew will be the Renter’s responsibility. Such damage or loss will be deducted from the security deposit and will be refunded only if the Vessel Insurance covers the amount and up to the specified limit, with the deductible borne by the Renter

10. TENANT’S RIGHTS

If for any reason, and beyond the Renter’s responsibility, the boat is out of service, the Renter may request a refund of the proportional part of the amount paid and, depending on the number of days the boat was out of service, the Lessor will attempt to provide a similar replacement boat for the same price.

11. TERMINATION OF THE LEASE

 The Lessee shall return the vessel to the Lessor at the final port of destination, at the agreed time, clean and undamaged, and with a full reserve fuel tank (unless otherwise expressly agreed with the Lessor). The Lessor will fill the reserve fuel tank if the Lessee has not done so. The cost of this will be deducted from the security deposit paid by the Lessee.

 If the Renter fails to return the vessel to the home port at the agreed time, they must compensate the Lessor by paying triple the daily rental rate for each day of delay (a full day will be counted if the vessel is returned after 12:00 PM), along with any expenses incurred by the Lessor during the delay. The delay may only be justified in the event of force majeure and if the Renter immediately notified the Lessor.

In the event that the vessel is returned in poor condition and/or extremely dirty, the Lessor shall have the right to deduct the final cleaning and/or repair costs from the security deposit, including bank fees. If, for any reason, the vessel cannot be delivered to the home port, a surcharge of €4 or €7 per mile will apply (€4 for motorboats, €7 for sailboats).

12. INSURANCE

The vessel, equipment, and crew are covered by the following insurance: • Hull All Risks. • Third-Party and Passenger Liability. All damages and/or losses that should be covered by the insurance must be reported to the Lessor or their representative immediately after the breakdown or accident. If the damages are not covered by the insurance, the Lessee will be responsible for their payment, even if they exceed the security deposit

13. TENANT’S RESPONSIBILITIES

 The Renter is obligated to indemnify the Lessor for any damages to third parties caused by negligence and not covered by insurance, and shall also bear all expenses, both material and legal. The Renter assumes full responsibility for their actions, especially in cases of confiscation of the vessel for any type of legal infraction. In case of loss or damage, the Renter is obligated to record the facts in detail or request an incident report from the Port Authorities, the appropriate doctor, or the responsible person. The Renter must inform the Lessor of what has occurred as soon as possible. In the event of loss of the vessel, inability to navigate, confiscation of the vessel, or prohibition of navigation by the competent authorities, the Renter is obligated to inform the responsible persons and the Lessor immediately.

14. LOSS OF PERSONAL PROPERTY

The Lessor is not responsible for the loss, destruction, and/or damage of personal belongings deposited or stored on the vessel, in the agency’s service vehicle, or in the Lessor’s offices or facilities. The signing of this Contract implies the Lessee’s acceptance of these conditions and that the Lessor shall have no obligation to indemnify the Lessee in any of the aforementioned cases.

15. COMPLAINTS

 Only complaints submitted in writing and received at the time of return of the ship to the Lessor will be considered

16. PATTERN (SKIPPER)

Should the Renter require the services of a skipper, they must request this from the Lessor at the time of booking. If a skipper is not hired, the Renter is obligated to present a valid qualification appropriate for the type of vessel rented. For any interpretation of this contract, only the courts of the jurisdiction where the vessel is moored at the time of signing this contract shall have jurisdiction.
