    FAQs

    If conditions are deemed uncharterable, you’ll receive a non-expiring credit for the amount paid, excluding catering.

    Your group is limited to the vessel’s rated passenger or weight capacity, or 12 people, whichever is lower. The charterer, captain, and crew are excluded from this limit.

    Gratuity for your hired captain or crew is not included in the listed price. A 15–20% tip of the original charter price is customary.
