Welcome to our Cabin Damage Deposit blog, where you'll find details on various options tailored to your booking—whether you're sharing the cabin with a friend or joining us solo.
Option 1: Non Refundable Damage Waiver Fee €100 (per cabin)
We offer a non-refundable damage waiver fee option for €100 to secure your cabin, payable directly through your profile. You can choose this option from 90 days before departure until 2 days before the event. This fixed fee ensures a worry-free week, relieving you from any additional charges for your crew's errors during the event. Guests are not required to be present for check-out if the skipper has confirmed there are no blocked toilets.
Your safety is our top priority, so we kindly request that throughout your trip you act appropriately while on board the yacht and be respectful to your skipper while sailing.
The non-refundable damage waiver amount covers any damage, except for blocked toilets. Your skipper will explain toilet usage and guidelines during the safety briefing on check-in day (average repair cost: €150-€250, depending on the charter company). Remember, "Not through you, not in the loo."
To pay, go to the 'Extras' section in your profile, choose the non-refundable damage wavier fee and follow the steps. Only one deposit per cabin is required, so coordinate with your Lead Booker regarding making the payment.
Option 2: Refundable Security Deposit €1000 (per cabin)
The second payment option for your refundable security deposit is fully refundable if no guest damages occur during the week. The deposit costs €1000 per cabin and must be paid before check-in to the yacht. Payment can be made through your profile 5 days before your trip or on the day of charter where the amount will be charged to your card upon purchase.
At the end of the week, you should complete your yacht check out with your skipper and any damages will be assessed. If there are guest damages present, deductions will be made to the security deposit accordingly. Please note that any guest damages caused and charged will be evenly split amongst the crew.
Our Customer Service team will contact you post-event to discuss any damages and costs before returning your security deposit (please allow up to 14 working days to process back to the original card used).
