Having chosen one of our boats, it is very important to contact us by telephone, fax or e-mail. (In CONTACTS we have an area for information and bookings) where you can ask for an option, i.e. a temporary booking which will give you the right to a pre-emption on the boat you want to charter.
The option you get will not bind you to any type of particular engagement.
If you confirm your reservation, you will soon receive the contract which you will have to fill in and sign together with a payment of 50% of the cost of the charter.
The balance will have to be paid maximum one week before the departure.
If you do not confirm your departure, there will not be any problem. You have to inform and officially communicate us your decision to renounce the booking. (Your option will automatically expire at the time of the final date).

Payments must be made in one of the following ways:
bank transfer, cheque or cash.

Together with the contract a list of all the passenger is a compulsory information. It is not allowed to embark passengers not included on the list or different from those appearing on the list. Before embarking it is possible to make changes to the list providing they are communicated to Sail Company s.a.s.

It is an amount of money to be used as guarantee that covers the exempt portion of the insurance we have on each boat, in the event of small damages caused during the charter. It is payable with cheques, cash, or credit cards and will be kept by Sail Company s.a.s. until the day when the boat is returned intact and after the final check-out. The deposit has to be paid when taking possession of the boat.

In alternative to the above deposit, for those who do not want to pay a rather big sum of money as deposit, a small sum of money which will not be refunded can be paid instead, plus a small deposit.( for example € 150 non refundable plus € 300 as deposit; see price list).
