Handover day

The long- awaited day of the begging of the cruise has finally come. Tired but happy you’re reaching marina and hope for a quick handover. First of all you’d need to proceed to our office, you should have received exact location together with a all other documents prior to the cruise.

Attention: should you come late, please let us know. We’ll let you know where the yacht is how to find it, and we’ll agree on the new handover time.

In order to facilitate the handover process, please be so kind to have with you:

• Boarding pass – document confirming your eligibility to pick up a yacht
• Your sailing documents (skipper certificate of competence and SRC VHF certificate)
• Crew list – in case you have not sent it before
• Money / credit cards

In the office you may cover all necessary payments. Usually these are

• Deposit and insurance of the deposit
• Transit log (known as “cleaning fee”)
• Resident Tax
• Additional services you’ve paid for
• Marina fee in cases of one – way charters

In Croatia tourists are obliged to pay Tourist Tax, which in 2019 is 1.1 EUR ppd.

We’ll issue receipt for tendered tax, which is directly sent to the Croatian Ministry of Tourism.

Children below 12 y.o. And persons with disabilities are exempted from the payment of the tax.

Children between 12 – 18 y.o. Are having 50% discount from the base rate.

Acceptable means of payment: cash, credit card, debit card.

It may occasionally occur, that there will be few crews waiting for a handover in the same, short period of time. In this situation we’ll show you your vessel and provide you with a checklist so you may get yourself familiar with hers equipment and shape. We’ll agree as well the hour of the formal handover.,

Technical handover of the yacht usually lasts between one to two hours.

It is important that you make yourselves familiar with all the onboard systems and compare the equipment with our list (Polish and English). In case you charter the yacht first time ever it is worth figuring out what to look at during the handover. This way you may avoid potentially stresful situation during the cruise.

In case you notice any damages or discrepancies in the onboard equipment we kindly ask you to report them immediately. If damage does not impact seaworthiness (i.e. paint damage on the bow), you may pick up a yacht but make sure that you record it in the handover form. Handover form is used later on once you finish your cruise.

When handover is completed you should make your crew familiar with the circuit breakers on the mainboard, show them how to use the toiles, shower pumps, gas installation, main and genoa furlers.

Each person onboard needs to be aware where is the safety equipment and how to operate it. Making crew aware of all the elements above will increase their safety and reduce possibility of damaging the boat during the cruise.

Occasionally it may happen that after the week with severe weather conditions many yachts are returning to the base with damages which may require involvement of the majority of our technical team. We’re doing our best that it will not impact your charter but it may happen, that you’ll need to wait a bit longer for your yacht.

Usually yacht handover happens after 5 p.m. In case you’d like to board earlier – we make it possible as additional service: early check in at 1p.m. Price of such service varies between 100 to 160 EUR, requires earlier notification and is subject to availability of the yacht.

We’re issuing invoices upon completion of the charter. Should you wish to receive the invoice please inform us, while boarding the yacht.

In case you’d like to check out already on Friday, please let us know during the handover. We’ll organize check out on Friday evening.

Before you leave the harbour, please make sure that you know the fueling station is located
