1. Website information
The website provides information about private yacht charter formats, guide pricing and the process of making an enquiry. It is intended to help a visitor understand the type and scale of service that may be available. It does not by itself confirm availability, reserve a vessel or create a completed booking.
A confirmed service is governed by the individual details and terms agreed through the booking process. If there is a difference between general website content and a specific booking confirmation, the confirmed booking information is the relevant record for that service.
2. Availability and vessel imagery
Charter availability changes with bookings, operational requirements and vessel readiness. Images used on the website illustrate the character of yacht charter and may not show the precise vessel allocated to an individual booking. A visitor should therefore rely on the vessel and service details provided during the confirmation process rather than assuming that a photographed yacht is guaranteed.
Where a particular feature is important to the booking decision, it should be raised during the enquiry so it can be addressed in the confirmed details.
3. Weather, tide and route planning
Yacht itineraries are inherently affected by weather, sea state, tide, visibility, harbour restrictions and safe navigation. A route described during planning may need to be shortened, altered or replaced if conditions make another plan more appropriate. The responsible skipper or operator must be able to make reasonable operational decisions where safety or legal requirements demand it.
No route, destination, anchorage or exact return profile is guaranteed solely by appearing in website copy or preliminary discussion.
4. Guide prices
Prices displayed on the website are guide prices intended to support initial planning. The final price depends on the charter that is actually confirmed, including the vessel, itinerary, duration, inclusions and any booking-specific conditions. A guide price should not be treated as a final invoice or unconditional offer.
No payment obligation arises from merely viewing a price or submitting an enquiry form. The relevant financial terms are those communicated for a confirmed booking.
5. Safety and personal decisions
General content about sailing, routes or the experience of being on the water is not personal safety advice. Guests should follow the instructions given for the actual vessel and conditions. Where a guest has a practical requirement that may affect safe participation, it is sensible to raise it before booking so that it can be considered in context.
Nothing on this website should be used to override instructions given by the responsible skipper, harbour authority or emergency service.
6. External content and continuity
If the website links to external resources, those resources are controlled by their respective operators. A link may be useful for context but does not make the external content part of these website terms or guarantee that it will remain available or accurate.
The website itself may be revised as services, prices, legal information or presentation changes. Reasonable efforts can be made to keep material current, but some details are necessarily confirmed only during an active enquiry.
7. Legal rights and operator details
Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes liability or statutory rights where exclusion would be unlawful. It should be read with the Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Refund Policy.
