The charter fee includes the charter of the yacht with all its equipment in working order; however, it does not include resident tax, fuel costs and costs of berthing outside the base marina.
The boat shall be given to the charterer in clean conditions, in working order and with full fuel and water tanks. It is important to point out that it is expected of the charterer to return the boat in same conditions.

Method of payment

The expected method of payment is as follows:
- 50% of the chartering price to be paid no later than 7 days following the signing of the contract
- 50% of the chartering price to be paid no later than the 4th week prior to the beginning of the chartering period
This method of payment must be respected and it is not subject to changes without the approval of the chartering company.

Deposit

The deposit is the amount which the client undertakes to leave to the chartering agent (credit card or cash) upon his arrival to the agreed marina, that is, prior to the takeover of the boat. The safety deposit must be handed over for purposes of possible cases of damages to the boat or late return, so that the chartering company might compensate all potential costs.
If the settled amount of the repair cost is smaller than the safety deposit, the remaining amount shall be refunded.
However, the deposit shall be refunded in its entirety upon the return of the boat, and following the performed check-out, if there is no evidence of any damages to the boat or to the equipment and if no additional costs have been incurred.
The amount of the deposit is set out in the chartering contract.

Insurance

The insurance of the boat covers all maritime risks and all damages caused by third persons. The crew of the boat is also included in the insurance. The charterer must report immediately to the ADRIATIC YACHTING or to the insurance company any damage that occurs during the chartering period, otherwise it shall not be subject to adequate insurance regulations; therefore, the charterer shall be responsible for all existing damage.
All damage in the amount of EUR1500 shall be compensated from the security deposit. In case the damage exceeds the above mentioned amount, it shall be compensated from the insurance policy. The charterer is liable for all damage caused by negligence or misuse of the boat and all pertaining objects.
It is important to mention that insurance companies do not provide insurance for sails, therefore, the compensation for such damage shall be the charterer’s liability.
The charterer undertakes to check the oil level on a daily basis; all damage or problems caused by the lack of oil shall be the charterer’s liability.

Charteree’s obligations

The chartering company undertakes to hand the boat over to the charterer on the agreed location at the agreed time in proper working conditions, with full tanks and with all accompanying valid documents of the boat which are required for rental.
It also undertakes to perform check-in together with the charterer in accordance with the inventory list.
In case the chartering company is not able to hand over the booked boat, it is obligated to secure another boat of the same features or better. If another suitable boat is not handed over to the charterer in the following 24 hours, he is free to cancel the existing chartering contract and the amount of the settled fee shall be refunded in its entirety.
Also, if the chartering company fails to fulfil certain duties, which prevents the charterer from using the boat as requested, he is entitled to a refund for those days during which the regular use was disrupted.
The charterer may only require the refund of the amount of the charter fee; any other refund possibility is excluded.
In case of a damage or a defect on the boat or its equipment during the regular use, the charterer must inform the chartering company thereof, which is then liable for the removal of the same.
If the chartering company removes the reported damage in the following 24 hours, the charterer shall not be entitled to any kind of refund.

The charterer who is in the capacity of a skipper on the rented boat must be an experienced person and must be in possession of all the necessary documents for navigation, such as the Sailing Certificate and VHF Licence.
The Charter Manager is the person authorized to check whether the client is in possession of the above mentioned documents and whether this person has the required knowledge for this role. If the skipper’s competence is deemed unsatisfactory, the Charter Manager shall delay the boat’s departure until another person with required competences for the role is found.
The charterer is permitted to navigate within Croatian territorial waters only. It is strictly forbidden to use the boat for commercial purposes or any other purpose outside its original use.
In case of any damage to the boat, the charterer must report such a situation to the chartering company with shortest delay possible. All damages which occurred during the regular use of the boat, and which the chartering company repaired within 24 hours following the receipt of the report, are deemed damages which cannot be additionally refunded to the charterer.
In case of the loss of the boat, the charterer must inform local authorities, port authority and mother chartering company. If he does not act accordingly, he will be liable for all damages which occurred due to the failed report.
The charterer is obligated to return the boat on the agreed location at the agreed time, in proper working conditions and with full tanks (water and fuel)
If the charterer fails to fulfil the agreed time obligation of the return of the boat, due to weather conditions, he must inform the chartering company thereof for further instructions.
If the charterer fails to deliver the boat with no justifiable cause less than 3 hours later than agreed, he shall be charged the amount of a daily charter fee; if he is late more than 3 hours, he shall be charged a three-day charter fee and all potential costs will be borne by him.
