General Information
Tips and guides you need to know of before you get onboard. Some details that you should be aware of.
Leisure Activities: Most of the yachts carry a variety of water sports equipment. It is our desire to make sure that you can enjoy all the provided equipment with maximum safety for you and those around you. More specifically, Jet skis (the kneeling or standing machines) and waverunners (the sit-down variety) can be found on many yachts Please be aware that under Greek law only people with speed boat license are allowed to use them. With regard to scuba diving equipment, please note that most of the yachts that carry scuba equipment impose restrictions on its use. Generally you are required to have at least a PADI Certificate or equivalent and will be asked to sign individual waivers, usually the PADI waiver.To avoid disappointment, please check with us first so we can tell you what is available on each yacht. Bear in mind that there are restrictions on diving in Greece & Turkey which must be strictly adhered to. Please also ensure you are covered for diving under your own personal insurance as you will generally not be covered under the yacht's insurance
Smoking: Smoking inside the yacht is prohibited in all yachts for safety reasons. However, smoking is usually permitted on the open deck areas although a few yachts do not permit any smoking aboard at all. Please check with us for any individual restrictions there may be.
Drugs and weapons: Neither drugs nor weapons of any sort will be permitted aboard any charter yacht. Possession of either will result in the charter being terminated immediately, without refund or recourse. This policy is rigidly enforced.
Gratuities: Crew gratuities are discretionary, although it is customary for a charterer who has enjoyed a crew's service to leave a gratuity in appreciation. Gratuities usually vary and are a percentage of the charter fee, but are entirely left to your judgment. One of the best ways to ensure that all crew members receive equal recognition is to entrust the distribution of gratuities to the captain. In this way, inconspicuous crew members such as engineers and culinary staff, who make an important contribution to your safety and enjoyment, are not overlooked.
