Check-out Procedure

After an amazing week of sailing, it’s time to return to the home port and complete the check-out procedure with the charter base staff.

Although your charter period runs from Saturday to Saturday, the Charter Base expect you to return to the charter base by Friday evening (usually 17-18h). You are welcome to spend the night on board.

Plan Your Return Wisely

Fridays are the day when most boats return to the home port, meaning fuel stations can be crowded, and you may experience waiting times. To avoid unnecessary delays, plan your return carefully and allow extra time for refueling.

If you are unable to return on Friday, you must inform the charter base in advance and provide a valid reason. In such cases, you must arrive at the base no later than 8 a.m. on Saturday to complete check-out, ensuring the yacht is ready for the next charter.

Check-out Process

The yacht must be returned with a full fuel tank. Failure to do so may result in a refueling penalty and charges for the missing fuel.

During check-out, you will need to hand over the boat documents to the charter base staff. The skipper and a staff member will then inspect the yacht together.

If there are no damages and the yacht’s inventory is complete, your security deposit will be refunded. However, if any damage is found or inventory is missing, the charter company will deduct the repair or replacement costs from your deposit.

If you have an early morning flight, we recommend booking a transfer the evening before to ensure you arrive at the airport on time.
