Terms and Bookings

Please read this section very carefully.  It contains information which you should be aware of when making your booking.

How to Book a Charter

Charters are accepted subject to availability. All charters are accepted under the terms of a standard MYBA Eastern Mediterranean Terms, as modified to include dinner in addition to breakfast and lunch and fuel for four hours. Bookings can be made through your Yacht Broker, Travel Agency, or directly with Canyon Charters through the following online inquiry form.

Booking and Payment

To reserve the yacht or sports boat of your choice, a Charter Contract must be signed and a deposit of 50% must be made in cleared funds at the time of booking. Payment of the balance of the charter fee plus an allowance for extras will be required two weeks before the charter date. Payment can be charged to acceptable credit cards. 

Extras

Alcoholic beverages; port fees; personal communication charges; fuel surcharges due, for example, to your wish to cruise for longer than four hours, or at a higher speed than the yacht’s rated cruising speed, or due to unexpected increases in the cost of fuel are not included and will be charged at cost.  Gratuities to the crew are also not included and vary. As a guideline, the usual range for gratuities is 10% to 15% of the total charter cost.

Cancellation by Charter Party

In the event of the cancellation of a charter, for whatever reason, then a cancellation notice must be given to Canyon Charters. The date of receipt of the notice will be the governing date for the Cancellation Charges that will be applicable according to the following schedule, regardless of any resale.

Late Booking

If the booking is made within 60 days from the scheduled charter, then payment in full is required at the time of booking.           

Travel Insurance

We strongly recommend that the charter party purchase comprehensive Trip Cancellation / Interruption Insurance for the full price of the charter as well as any air / land programme costs. 

General

The Charter party is responsible for arriving at the designated marina on time for embarkation. We reserve the right to refuse or discontinue passage to anyone who, in our sole judgment, would be considered a risk to the passengers own safety and well-being, or the health, safety well-being, enjoyment and comfort of other passengers and crew or to the vessel itself.

We reserve the right to cancel any sailing, itinerary or excursion when, in our sole judgment, we deem it justified, and to do so without liability for damage or for any loss to our passengers. We also reserve the right to cancel any full-vessel charter, reservation or booking, whether or not a deposit, payment, full or partial, has been received. In such an event, our only liability would be to refund amounts received.
