Booking and papers:

When you book a Cruising Charter boat, being in time as per our paperwork is essential; payments, filling in and spedition of contract and of your previous experiences, all informations must reach us in time to give you a precise service. Arrival details are expected to be available not later than 1 week before the embarkation.

Arrival:

If you book the transfer our minibus will bring you directly in Portisco, in front of the booked boat; if you arrive with your own car you have to go to peer number 9 to meet our staff and find your boat. Passing through our offices at your arrival is not worth, Saturday and Sunday are closed; all process will be done directly on board. If you get in trouble in finding the base, call 337/813577.

Check-in:

As per contract, boats are delivered at 18.00 h, beginning time of a 1 hour check-in process wich is part of the charter period. Sometime some boats might be ready to be delivered before 18.00 h, and in this case special agreements could be taken with the skipper for an earlier check-in, wich anyway is not foreseeable nor due, because only during the boat preparation we will be able to know if it can be ready before the time or not. However, in normal cases check-in is in the evening and moorings are loosen the next morning. The check-in process providing detailed explanations on all the boat functionings and relative tips and tricks, must be heard and understood very carefully by the skipper (and max other 2 people); approximately the 95% of problems on board actually are statistically caused by a wrong use of the boat and of its equipment. Therefore, in order to avoid regrettable incidents, time wasting and expensive repairs, is very important to clear up all details before leaving, and to remember always that, once ended the check-in and all during the charter period, skipper will be the only responsible of the boat.

Contract and check-list:

In the end of check-in process all papers will be filled and signed, if not yet done. The Italian National Charter Contract is the only valid document regarding the charter of the boat, and the only valid to sail with a Cruising Charter boat; we recommend you to read it very carefully to clear up duties and rights, and to avoid unuseful and unpleasant discussions in case of problems. The Check-list is the document wich state that the boat is in perfect condition, that all equipment is on board and that all checked devices are perfectly functioning, with the loss-cost of every piece of equipment. With its signature client accept and load the boat on its own responsibility. In case of damages or loss, Cruising Charter will follow straight the check-list and contract provisions, avoiding useless and unpleasant negotiations.
