Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I book?

Same-day bookings are possible if a yacht is available, but booking 2–3 days ahead gives you a wider choice.

What is required to make a booking?

A 20% deposit confirms your booking. The balance is paid when you board.

Can I cancel my booking?

If you cancel at least 10 days before your cruise, we’ll refund your deposit. For later cancellations, the deposit is non-refundable. If there’s a storm or it isn’t safe to go out, we’ll move your cruise to another convenient date free of charge. For holidays such as New Year’s Eve (December 31) and Valentine’s Day (February 14), we’ll share the booking and cancellation terms when you ask.

No. The hourly price covers the whole yacht and everyone on board, up to its capacity. VAT (KDV) is not included.

Can we extend the cruise?

Yes, if the yacht is free on your date — extra time can be added as an additional service.
