Terms and Conditions

1. Scope

These Terms apply to all bookings and contracts for the charter of the crewed catamaran and related services. Deviating terms of the Charterer only become part of the contract if the Provider expressly agrees to them in writing.

2. Services and contracting party

The subject of the contract is the provision of a crewed catamaran (Fountaine Pajot Aura 51) for the agreed period, including the agreed services (e.g. skipper/crew). The exact scope of services results from the booking confirmation.

3. Booking and conclusion of contract

The booking enquiry constitutes an offer by the Charterer. The contract is concluded upon the Provider's written booking confirmation (e.g. by e-mail). The Charterer must ensure that their information is complete and correct.

4. Prices and payment terms

The prices agreed at the time of booking as per the booking confirmation apply.

5. Withdrawal and cancellation by the Charterer

Withdrawal by the Charterer is only possible in writing. The decisive point in time is the receipt of the declaration of withdrawal by the Provider.

The Charterer reserves the right to prove that the Provider incurred no or lower damage. Taking out travel cancellation insurance is recommended.

6. Withdrawal by the Provider

The Provider may withdraw from the contract if performance of the charter becomes impossible or unreasonable for reasons beyond the Provider's control (e.g. force majeure, total technical failure of the vessel, official orders). In this case, payments already made will be refunded – unless a replacement service is provided; further claims are excluded as far as legally permissible.

7. Obligations of the Charterer and conduct on board

The Charterer and their guests must follow the instructions of the skipper/crew, in particular regarding safety and navigation. The vessel must be treated with care. For safety reasons, the skipper is entitled to decide on the route, harbours and anchorages.

8. Crew and skipper

The charter is provided with crew. The skipper bears nautical responsibility for the vessel and safety. The skipper's decisions in the interest of the safety of vessel and persons are binding.

9. Liability

The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and in accordance with product liability law. In the case of slight negligence, the Provider is only liable for the breach of a material contractual obligation and limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract. Liability for damage resulting from injury to life, body or health remains unaffected.

The Provider accepts no liability for items and valuables brought along by the Charterer and their guests, as far as legally permissible.

10. Insurance

The vessel is insured. The Charterer is recommended to take out their own travel, accident and, where applicable, deposit insurance.

11. Force majeure and weather

In the event of force majeure, official measures or weather conditions that impair safe execution, the skipper may adjust the route and programme or postpone/cancel parts of the trip. This gives the Charterer no rights beyond the statutory claims.

12. Data protection

The processing of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy.

13. Final provisions

Should any provision of these Terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
