All charters begin at 17:00 of the start-date and finish at 09:00 of the end-date of the charter period, exclusively at the designated ports. The chartered yacht must have returned to its end-port by 17:00 pm of the day preceding its end-date, at the latest.
Availability of the yacht(s) offered by YACHTGR can only be guaranteed on the actual day the offer is being made.
The Greek Authorities mandate at least one sailing license or certification for bareboat charters. Generally, ASA and RYA Certifications are accepted, but there might be instances where Day Skipper certificates (or those with limitations on nautical miles) could be declined by Port Authorities. To ensure a smooth process, please reach out to us. We will assess your license and inform you if you meet the requirements to proceed!

Terms of payment
In order the charter-party to be valid, an advance payment equal to 50% of its total value has to be made to YACHTGR upon its signing. The remaining 50% will be payable 45 days before the start-date of the charter period, at the latest. It is noted that, in case a Charter Contract is signed regarding a charter period starting within the following 45 days or less, it has to be paid in full upon its signing.
Before embarking on the boat, the client will provide yachtgr with a refundable deposit – in cash or credit card Visa/Master – intended to cover the cost for any loss or damage to the boat while on charter. The deposit is returned in full at the end of the charter period in case there is no damage or loss. Otherwise, the relevant cost is deducted from the deposit and the client will receive the balance.
Charter booking procedure
Upon deciding to actually book a charter proposed by yachtgr , the client has to formally request an option (right) of booking for the specific boat, ports and dates of interest, which can only be offered for a few days. It is during this short period of time that the client will have to book the charter and settle the advance payment, after having finalized all details pertaining to the intended sailing holiday along with the other participants of his/her group.
A charter booking will not be considered valid and final, unless the client:
Has returned to yachtgr , a signed copy of the charter-party he/she will have previously received electronically (via email) and
Has sent to yachtgr , proof of payment of the advance payment mentioned earlier (50% of the total value of the Charter Contract).
The Charter Contract will finally be considered valid upon payment of the remaining 50% of its total value, 45 days before the beginning of the charter period, at the latest.
Cancellation terms
In case a booked yacht charter needs to be cancelled on the client’s initiative, the following terms will apply, as described in the Memorandum of Charter:
91+ days prior to embarkation: 30% of the total charter fee is withheld by YACHTGR. If the advanced payment is more than 30%, the extra amount will be credited to the next charter. In case the yacht is booked by another client, and under the same conditions only an administrative fee of 300€ will be held.
46 – 90 days prior to embarkation: 50% of the total charter fee is withheld by Kavas Yachting
45 – 1 days prior to embarkation: 100 % of the total charter fee is withheld by YACHTGR
Claims are negotiable within 30 days from charter, in written form
