Security deposits / Yacht Chartering Services
A. According to the aforesaid Charter Party Agreement you have to leave a deposit that varies according to the size of the yacht. This insurance means that you are responsible only for that amount of money for any loss or damage that may be caused.
B. To cover the security deposit, we accept credit cards (Visa, MasterCard) and cash. No personal cheques are accepted.
C. There is also the alternative possibility for a Non-Refundable Security Deposit. This is a fixed amount depending on the size of the yacht and is a lot of less than the original security deposit. In this case the charterer is responsible up this new amount and no more. If the yacht returns without any damage, we refund the refundable part of the deposit to the charterer. Velvet Yachting reserves the right not to accept the non-refundable deposit.
