Once your reservation is confirmed, payment is collected based on the timing of your trip: To reserve a yacht for a single day, a $1,000 deposit or 50% of the total reservation (whichever is greater) is required when your reservation is confirmed more than 7 days in advance. Your remaining balance is processed 7 days prior to your departure date. If your reservation is confirmed 7 days or less in advance, the total reservation is collected immediately. The Charter Agreement dictates the terms of refunds. Once a payment has been collected, it cannot be refunded. Credits may be provided in certain circumstances that may be applied toward a future charter.

In order to protect your privacy and payment information, we use one of the most trustworthy and reliable credit card processing partners. As they employ the strictest PCI requirements, it ensures that none of your sensitive information is stored on any servers. This added credit card processing security comes with higher costs, and the 3% fee goes to cover it.
