Procedures charter

We do not accept:
1) ISA
2) Croatian Voditelj Brodice
3) Inland licenses
4) Other licenses preventing sea navigation
Documents

Boarding the boat is only possible after having:
• A signed contract with terms and conditions
• A 100% charter fee paid (additions are payable at the base)
• A deposit paid in case of damage to the boat

Deposit and expenses

The deposit will be charged prior to embarkation and if the Charterer fails to pay, the Operator reserves the right to cancel the booking without further liability and without any right to a refund. The charterer will not be entitled to continue the charter.

All optional extras (including water toys) must be ordered at least 14 days prior to charter. They are paid together with the Deposit during the registration procedures.

The charterer is responsible for additional out-of-pocket expenses incurred during the charter, such as fuel, water, electricity, meals, pilotage, mooring and docking fees, port fees, cruise taxes and parking permits and customs duties – these fees are not part of the charter package. The charterer rents the boat with a full tank of fuel and must also return with a full tank of fuel (more information below).

Briefings

Once all document and payment procedures are completed, we continue with the check-in procedures. We conduct briefings to audit the boat’s condition, inventory, provide information on weather conditions, mooring and anchorage locations, sailing procedures in Zanzibar and provide other useful advice. The briefing is divided into three parts:

1. Inventory control;
2. technical briefing;
3. chart briefing.

We make every effort to ensure that the boat provides the highest quality and that you are fully informed about all the most important matters related to sailing in Zanzibar.

Cruise area

The sailing area for bareboat charter includes all islands of the Zanzibar archipelago.

Night mooring

In Zanzibar, mooring or anchoring must be done by 5.30 p.m. daily. Sailing cannot begin earlier than 6:00 a.m. Swimming is prohibited from 5:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Breaking these rules is tantamount to losing your deposit.

Journal

Maintaining a Yacht Log is required by local authorities and insurance companies, so the Charterer is obliged to update it daily. In the event of an accident or any loss, the booklet is the basis for an investigation.

Use of the generator

The charterer can use the generator 8 hours a day. Each additional hour of use of the generator costs 3 Euro. This price does not include the price of the fuel used.

Emergency call

In case of emergency, please contact our Office Manager.
You can also call the Coast Guard:
VHF Channel 16

Time

Disembarkation begins at 8:00 a.m. on the last day of charter. However, you must return to the marina the day before by 5:00 p.m.
Check-out procedure

During Check-Out, an Inventory and Damage Inspection is carried out. We check the boat under water, sails, electrical devices, operation of the engine and generator, oil level in the engine and gearbox. The charterer is obliged to refill fuel tanks and present the receipt (with date and time) at the base.

If the tanks are not refilled, a fee is charged according to the following calculation:

engine and generator operating hours x 4 L x 1.5 euro

Deposit

If no damage to the boat, missing inventory or changes to the checklist are found during check-out, the deposit will be refunded in full. In the event of any irregularities, an amount proportional to the losses will be deducted from the deposit.
