After a week of sailing
excitements and enjoyments, it is time to get back to the harsh
reality. The first thing you have to do is to get through the yacht
charter check-out procedure.
Getting back to
base
Although your charter period is
from Saturday to Saturday, you are expected to come back to the
charter base on Friday evening. You are,
naturally, allowed to spend the night on board. However, if you are
unable to return to the charter base on Friday, you must inform the
charter base about it. Needless to say, you must have a valid
reason for it. If this should happen, be sure to arrive to the
charter base before 8 a.m. so that the check-out could be done and
the yacht could be ready for the following charter.
Yacht inspection
During the check-out, the boat
documents are handed to the charter base staff. The yacht is then
checked by the skipper and a member of the charter base
staff. If they find no damages and all the yacht's
inventory intact, the security deposit (paid at the yacht charter
check-in) is returned to you. If, however, there are any
damages to the yacht, or any of its inventory is missing, you are
left without your security deposit. Note that you may have to pay
extra if the damages to the yacht cannot be entirely covered by the
security deposit.
After the entire check-out
procedure is done, you may leave the charter base and head
home.
