Notwithstanding the above, the parties, the vessel, the period and the price are stipulated in the checkout on the payment page or in the invoice provided separately. By paying the booking fee or a deposit on the proposed charter, the Charterer agrees to the conditions contained herein.

1. Initial Deposit: 50% of the charter fee, which confirms the booking.
2. Remaining 50% of the charter fee required to arrive in Yachting.mt’s bank accounts at least 12 hours before embarkation.

The Charterer shall be permitted to board and embark on the scheduled charter only under the condition that full payment of any balance due from Charterer has been received in Yachting.mt’s accounts at least 12 hours before embarkation.

Yachting.mt agrees to deliver to Charterer a boat in good working order. Yachting.mt reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to assign a different vessel for the charter of similar size and comfort, with the same or similar amenities and services. Should any excursions or other add-on services offered by Yachting.mt be unavailable at the time of the Charter, we will endeavor to provide replacement or other add-on services for no extra cost to the Charterer. Should we be unable to provide replacement services we shall refund the Charterer the full value of the unavailable add-on services which were paid. This provision does not include the unavailability of the charter itself.

3.7. Responsibilities of Charterer: Immediately at check-in, the Charterer will check that accommodation and equipment is in good working order and up to minimum standards.

The Charterer is solely responsible for all personal items, tangible and intangible, brought on board the vessel. Charterer must be very vigilant with electronic devices when they board a Vessel. Yachting.mt advises against bringing valuables or large sums of cash and declines any responsibility in case of theft, damage or loss.

Without prejudice to any other remedy of Yachting.mt, if, in the reasonable opinion of the Captain, the Charterer or any of his guests fail to observe any of the provisions contained herein and if such failure continues after the Captain has given due and specific warning to the Charterer in respect of the same, the Captain shall inform the Yachting.mt and we may terminate the charter forthwith or instruct the Captain to return the vessel to the port and upon such return the charter period shall be terminated. The Charterer and his guests shall disembark and the Charterer shall not be entitled to be refunded any of the charter fee.

With particular regard to the use of watersports equipment available on the vessel, the Captain shall have the authority to exclude the Charterer or any or all of his guests from use of any particular watersports equipment if, in his reasonable opinion, they are not competent, are unsafe, are behaving in an irresponsible manner, or are failing to show due concern for other persons when operating this equipment.

The Captain will refuse to ship Passengers who do not comply with the regulations of the countries concerned, persons whose disability was not reported at the time of booking, or any passenger refusing to sign the safety instructions.

The Captain will disembark any passenger whose behavior could endanger or seriously inconvenience other passengers, crew members or the ship or whose state of health would appear to be incompatible with the cruise. The fact of not having detected a possible incompatibility of health does not imply recognition of its acceptance.

Boat Providers shall provide insurance to cover the chartered boat against loss or damage to the hull, machinery, gear and equipment of the yacht, liabilities to third parties for loss or damage to any other vessel or property whatsoever, loss of life or personal injury. Personal belongings are not covered by the insurance above contract.

• less than 30 days before original Embarkation date, Charterer will lose 100% of the total charter fee.

If Charterer has already paid for add-on options, Yachting.mt will reimburse Charterer for these expenses. If Charterer is not present at the time of embarkation, even if the no-show is caused by flight or other transfer delays, this will be treated as a cancellation of reservation less than 30 days before departure and Charterer will lose its entire charter fee. If the Charterer is delayed due to a Yachting.mt transfer, this provision is waived and Yachting.mt will make all available efforts to get Charterer on board the Vessel in a timely manner.

3.10. Force Majeure: Yachting.mt shall not be liable for any loss, damages or delay or failure in performance hereunder resulting from any force majeure event (see General Terms), and any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Yachting.mt which makes continuance of operations impossible.

• No refunds will be provided.
• Yachting.mt will work with Charterer to book a new charter on a different vessel agreeable to Charterer, at a new location, or on new dates, or both, based upon availability and the Charterer’s preference.
• If the parties cannot book a new charter at that time, Charterer’s deposit will remain as a credit with Yachting.mt and will not expire for 24 months.

Yachting.mt will not be responsible for additional costs incurred by Charterer as a result of changes to their charter due to a force majeure event.

• When available, delay the departure date and maintain charter duration;

The winner has two months to claim the prize. Failure to respond to notifications, return all required forms within 30 days or comply with any other provision may result in the winner being disqualified and an alternate winner selected. If a prize notification or a prize is returned as undeliverable for any reason, the applicable prize will be awarded to an alternate winner. Prizes are not transferable, assignable, or redeemable for cash. All decisions are final. All local tax liabilities are the responsibility of the winners.
