Covid-19 Policy

These policies have been introduced specifically in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. We are continuing to monitor and respond to the ongoing circumstances surrounding Covid-19 and local government regulations and therefore we may update our policy accordingly in the future when TYW events take place.

Our Guests:

• All TYW guests will be required to show proof of a negative RT-PCR test carried out within three days prior to check-in.
• COVID vaccine certificates will also be accepted as alternatives in line with legislation at the time of the event.

Our Team:

• All staff are required to show a negative RT-PCR test before commencing work.
• All staff will be tested weekly for COVID. Any staff member who tests positive or reports symptoms will be isolated from the event and replaced.
• Strict regular hand washing and sanitising policies will be put in place.
• Onboard Crew has been trained in our Cleaning, Sanitising, and Disinfecting (CSD) procedures, and has extensive knowledge of food handling, waste management, and medical requirements.
• Your skipper and host will be instructed to adhere to social distancing while on charter and encouraged to wear protective equipment when this is not possible.
• We have a medic on every route… they will make sure that our team have regular temperature checks at the start and end of every week.
• Our medic is on hand through the week to help and support any crew with questions or concerns.

Testing:

• TYW will provide onsite testing for guests who require negative COVID tests for return flights to their home countries. The details of this will be published in due course.
• PCR and Antigen tests will be available and guests will be charged individually for the tests they require.

Our Yachts:

• Each yacht will be disinfected immediately upon return to the dock. They will then be cleaned, sanitised, and disinfected again prior to the next charter.
• Bedding will be provided in a verified CSD sealed bag.
• Hand sanitiser, hand wash and disinfectant will be provided on all yachts.
• Care packs will be provided for each guest which also include hand sanitiser, hand wipes, and sanitising products.
• Masks and snorkels will not be provided, however, we will still be providing complimentary fins for guests. It is recommended that guests bring their own snorkel equipment.

Arrival at Marina:

• All staff and guests will be temperature checked on arrival.
• New arrivals will be required to show a negative RT-PCR certificate.
• A TYW team member will meet the guests on arrival and show them directly to their yacht. However, if we are unable to do so, the guests will be shown to a secondary area which will adhere to social distancing requirements.
• All payments at the marina will be made via debit or credit card where possible to reduce the handling of cash and support hygienic practices.
• Hand washing and sanitising stations are available.
• Marina staff will be wearing masks and adhering to social distancing measures.

At the Events:

• Masks will not be compulsory at TYW events but will be provided and may be worn by guests who choose to do so.
• All venues will be outdoor allowing enough space for guests who choose to social distance.
• Each crew will be allocated a seating area allowing for social distancing.
• Venue staff may choose to wear face masks for their own protection.
• All cutlery, dishes and glasses will be either machine washed or single-use and recyclable.

What You Can Do to Help:

• During your time with us on the base or any interaction with our staff, we ask you to continue to use your face mask if local government policy dictates enforcement.
• Complete all required documentation online prior to your arrival through your booking profile and the Day8 App.
• While on the event, we request that any guest showing symptoms report to the onsite medic. The medic will do a scanned temperature check and alert the local authorities if COVID-19 symptoms are shown. The local authorities will then take action.
• If you do have symptoms or are recovering from COVID-19 we ask you not to attend the week.
• Guests who display COVID-19 symptoms during the event will not be permitted to continue on their yacht and will be tested and quarantined by the local authorities.
