The User is required to strictly comply with the provisions of the Navigation Code, the ordinances of the competent Maritime Authorities, and all applicable regulations.

• accompanied by the documentation necessary for navigation.

The User declares under their own responsibility:

• any damages or losses;
• extraordinary cleaning costs where necessary.

The User acknowledges receiving the craft in perfect condition and undertakes to return it in the same condition, except for normal wear and tear.
The return must take place at the agreed times.
Any delays will result in proportionate penalties.

In the event of an accident or breakdown, the User is required to:

• immediately notify the Owner;
• follow the instructions received.

It is prohibited to carry out interventions or repairs without authorization.
All damages will be charged to the User.

The craft is covered by an insurance policy for third-party liability.
The following are excluded:

Any deductibles remain at the User’s expense.

As a guarantee of the obligations undertaken, the User is required to pay a deposit, by cash or credit card pre-authorization, the amount of which varies according to the type of craft rented, as indicated below:

• Craft with 40 HP engine (no license required): €500

The Owner reserves the right to withhold, in whole or in part, the deposit in the following cases:

1. damage to the boat, engine, or accessories;
2. loss or damage to onboard equipment;
3. violation of the general conditions or navigation regulations.

In the case of credit card pre-authorization, the Owner is authorized to charge the amounts due within the limits of the deposit provided.
If the amount of verified damages exceeds the deposit amount, the User undertakes to immediately pay the difference upon return of the craft.
In case of non-payment, the Owner reserves the right to take action to recover the credit through the competent authorities, with legal costs charged to the User.

1. Customer Withdrawal (art. 1373 Italian Civil Code)
The Customer has the right to cancel the reservation by written notice to be sent to the Company by email or other means suitable to prove receipt.
Withdrawal exercised within and no later than 15 (fifteen) days prior to the charter start date will entitle the Customer to a full refund of amounts paid, including any purchased ancillary services.
After this period, withdrawal will be considered late and will result in the total loss of amounts paid, which will be retained as a penalty, without prejudice to greater damages.

2. Non-performance due to adverse weather conditions or force majeure
If, at the sole discretion of the Company and/or the Commander of the craft, weather conditions, sea conditions, or other unforeseeable circumstances beyond the control of the Parties (including, by way of example and not limitation, natural events, Authority ordinances, sudden breakdowns not attributable to the Company’s negligence) make the service impossible or unsafe, the charter may be suspended or cancelled.

In such cases, the Customer will be entitled:

a) as a priority, to reschedule the service on a date to be agreed between the Parties,
subject to the Company’s availability;
b) if rescheduling is not possible within a reasonable time, to a refund equal to 90% (ninety percent) of the amounts paid.
It is expressly understood that the remaining 10% (ten percent) will be retained by the Company as reimbursement for administrative, organizational, and banking commission costs, expressly accepted by the Customer pursuant to and for the purposes of articles 1341 and 1342 of the Italian Civil Code.

3. Exclusion of Further Liability

In the cases referred to in article 2 above, the Customer expressly waives any further claim for compensation or indemnity against the Company, including, by way of example, reimbursement for ancillary expenses, travel, accommodation, or loss of enjoyment of the service.

4. Refund Methods and Terms

Refunds will be made exclusively using the same payment method used by the Customer at the time of booking, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties.

The technical processing time for refunds is set at 4 (four) – 5 (five) business days from the date of acceptance of the cancellation request by the Company, excluding any liability for delays attributable to banks or payment circuits.

art. 1 (penalty for late withdrawal);
art. 2 (10% retention and discretion in assessing conditions);
art. 3 (limitation of liability);
art. 4 (refund methods).

In the case of charter with skipper:

• the operation of the craft is entrusted exclusively to the skipper;
• the User remains responsible for their own behavior and that of guests on board.

The Owner is not liable for the impossibility of performing the service due to force majeure, such as adverse weather and sea conditions, Authority ordinances, or unforeseeable events.
