Yacht charter check-in
procedure is nothing complicated. You would normally arrive to your
charter base on Saturday, the first day of your yacht charter
holiday.
Arriving at base
You are tipically expected to
take over the yacht around 5 p.m. If you are to arrive to the base
much earlier than the agreed time of take over, please inform your
booking agent so that the yacht can be ready for you and you would
not have to wait long for it. However, this all depends on how much
the charter base is busy that day.
If you are to arrive a few days
earlier than agreed, you will need to book accommodation
for yourself and your party since the yacht is still going
to be occupied with the guests who reserved it for that week. For
the check-in, prepare your sailing license, your VHF license, as
well as passports or ID cards of everyone in your party.
Crew list and
deposit
First you need to
confirm the official crew list. To speed up the
procedure, it is advised to send your crew list to your charter
agency at least seven days before the charter begins. During the
check-in, you need to pay the security deposit, which you can
tipically pay with either cash or major credit cards.
Technical check-in and
briefing
The skipper will be then given
the time for technical check-in. During this time,
clients are welcome to leave their luggage at the base, wander
around or have refreshments in the nearby restaurant. Technical and
safety briefing is the last and the most important part of the
yacht charter check-in procedure. It lasts around 45 minutes and
during this time, all crew members are introduced to the important
technical features of the yacht as well as to the on board safety.
After this, you are welcome to board the yacht and enjoy your sailing
holiday.
