Cancellation & Date Amendments

Cancellation Fees: The following fees apply based on the notice period provided before the embarkation date and reflect the rapidly decreasing likelihood of re-booking the vessel as the departure date approaches.

• 90+ Days Notice: Full refund of the amount received, less a 180 EUR administration fee and banking costs.
• 89 - 30 Days Notice: 50% of the total charter rate will be retained.
• Less than 30 Days Notice: 100% of the total holiday rate will be retained, as it is unlikely the vessel can be re-booked on such short notice.

Date Changes: Because each charter occupies a specific slot in our season, any change to your confirmed dates is considered a cancellation of the original trip and follows the fee schedule above. New dates are considered a new booking and are subject to current availability and rates.
