"Bareboat charter" terms & conditions

Charter rates are in Euro, and include:

• Current VAT 24%.

• Use of yacht with the equipment as mentioned in OUR BOAT description.

 

Required Sailing Qualifications

• Two crew members should present a valid sailing boat diploma, proving their competence as Skippers.

• Subject to applicable Greek legislation, qualifications are to be approved by the local Port Authority on the day of departure. Charterer is at all times liable for the suitability of his qualification and certification. 

• Day Skipper Certificates may be rejected by the Port Authority and Charterers are therefore advised to ensure they have an International Certificate of Competence (ICC). Typically, any holder of “Day Skipper” certificate can obtain their ICC from the yachting association that issued their Day Skipper certificate and the process usually requires only a simple application.

• "Joy Yachter" is not responsible if skipper's certification is rejected by Port Authority and reserves the right to require charterers to hire a professional skipper if their sailing skills certification/diploma(s) are not sufficient.
