CHARTER ETIQUETTE

Here are some simple guidelines to ensure a smooth and respectful experience onboard

• Always ask for permission before boarding the yacht.

• Remove your shoes upon boarding.

• Pay close attention to the safety instructions provided.

• Treat the yacht with the same care as you would your own home.

• Use oil-free sunscreen to avoid staining the teak and fiberglass.

• Try to keep sand and saltwater off the boat whenever possible.

• If the yacht doesn't have a water maker, use fresh water sparingly.

• Conserve electricity when the generator is off.

• Follow the toilet usage instructions precisely.

• Stay out of the galley while the chef is preparing meals, unless invited.Many yachts have designated snack areas for in-between meals.

• Pack soft-sided luggage or duffel bags for easy storage in the limited space onboard.

• Approach anchorages or moorings at a slow speed to avoid disturbing others.

• If using the dinghy at night, opt for oars instead of the outboard motor to minimize noise.

• Supervise your children—crew members are not responsible for babysitting.

• Smoking is prohibited inside the cabins.

• There is zero tolerance for drugs. The Captain reserves the right to end the charter immediately without any refund.

• If you're satisfied with the service, it's customary to give the crew a gratuity (10-20% of the charter fee).

• Always treat the crew with respect and kindness—they are professionals, not servants.

• And remember, the Captain's decision is final.
