A clear summary of how a charter with KEK Yachting works — booking, paying, the security deposit, cancellation and what we each promise. The full charter contract is sent with your booking confirmation and always takes precedence.
These Terms & Conditions contain the agreement between KEK Yachting d.o.o. (the "Owner") and the person(s) chartering the vessel (the "Charterer") for a bareboat charter. The parties, the vessel, the period and the price are stipulated separately in the invoice. By paying the deposit, the Charterer agrees to the conditions below. All offers are subject to availability at the time of booking; local taxes and fees may apply, and prices may change until confirmed.
An enquiry is not a booking. After you send your dates we send a written offer with the gross price, fully itemised. A booking becomes binding once you have the booking confirmation and we have received your deposit. Prices are quoted in euros (EUR) and include VAT.
The Transit Log fee covers final cleaning, WiFi, the dinghy with outboard engine and 5 litres of fuel, cooking gas, toilet paper, beds made up on arrival, two towels per person and ship diving. Optional extras (skipper and their meals, transfers, provisioning, water toys, tourist tax, security deposit) are listed and charged separately.
VAT is included in all prices. Payment is by bank transfer to the account shown on the invoice; bank charges are borne by the Charterer. The booking is only secured once funds are received.
The Owner will deliver the boat to the Charterer only once: (a) any outstanding balance and the security deposit are paid; (b) both parties have signed the vessel's delivery statement (inventory) confirming the condition of the vessel and equipment; and (c) the Charterer has provided a copy of a driving licence or ID card, a copy of a passport, and a crew list with names and addresses.
If the Owner believes the Charterer's or crew's sailing experience is deficient, the Owner may cancel or modify the charter without refund, or — if available — provide an approved skipper at the Charterer's expense. An approved skipper may not be discharged before the end of the charter without the Owner's consent.
The vessel must be returned to the end port on the date and time specified in the invoice, with all gear aboard, in the same good and clean condition as on departure. A place in the KEK Yachting marina on the first and last day of the charter is included in the price.
Every yacht is insured with first-class insurers (UNIQA) against all risks, with statutory third-party liability cover. At booking the Charterer chooses one of two options:
Personal belongings are not covered. The Charterer must notify the Owner within 24 hours of any loss or damage. In the event of gross negligence, the Charterer is liable for the full cost of repairs above the deductible or waiver.
If the Charterer or a crew member is to operate the vessel, they warrant that they are experienced, licensed where applicable, and competent to handle a vessel of this type, with sufficient knowledge of seamanship, piloting and the Rules of the Road. The vessel may only be operated by a qualified person. The Charterer completes the "Sailing Resume" via the booking system. Licences (and a VHF certificate) are checked at check-in — bring the originals.
If for any reason you cannot start the charter, you are free to find a person who assumes your rights and obligations, with the Owner's consent. If you do not find a replacement, the Owner retains:
We strongly recommend charter cancellation insurance. Any interrupted or shortened charter, or any service not used, is not refundable.
The Owner is not liable for any loss, damage, delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond reasonable control — acts of God, fire, the elements, epidemics, war, insurrection, piracy, strikes, or acts of governmental authorities. In such events, payments made are held as a credit toward a future charter that never expires; no cash refunds are provided. The Owner will work with you to re-book on a different vessel, location or dates, subject to availability.
If on the departure date the booked boat (or an equivalent) is not available for a reason other than force majeure, the Charterer may, where possible: delay the departure and keep the full charter duration; keep the invoiced end date and receive a prorated refund for the unavailable time; or, if the delay exceeds a quarter of the charter time, cancel and be refunded the charter fee. The Charterer waives further claims arising from such a delay.
The Charterer shall not incur or allow any maritime lien, salvage or debt on the vessel or on the Owner's credit, nor abandon the vessel or enter a salvage agreement without the Owner's prior written consent, and shall indemnify the Owner against any such liability. Any image of you or your party aboard the vessel taken during the charter may be used by the Owner, without charge, for bona-fide promotional or marketing purposes.
The charter contract is governed by Croatian law. We always try to resolve any disagreement directly and amicably; failing that, the competent court at the company's registered seat (Šibenik, Croatia) has jurisdiction. Company and consumer dispute-resolution information is in our Impressum.
We'd rather you ask than wonder. Ante will walk you through any clause.
