Terms & Conditions

Whydah Charters Limited

Terms and Conditions

All those taking part in voyages must be fit, active and free from medical disabilities which could affect their ability to take part in such a voyage.

We advise you to have appropriate insurance that provides cover in the event of lost luggage, accident or cancellations.

We reserve the right to cancel any voyage. If this proves necessary, any deposits or balances you have paid will be refunded and Whydah Charters will have no further liability whatsoever. We will not be responsible for any delay, curtailment, changes to itinerary, alterations to travel arrangements or any associated costs due to weather conditions or operational reasons beyond our control. If you cancel the booking at least 2 months before departure we will endeavour to offer you an alternative date.

Itinerary

The majority of voyages have no fixed itinerary which is the best way to go sailing. We aim to achieve the specified departure point, arrival point and any intended itinerary but cannot guarantee that we will do so. The wind and weather are the main determining factors. For reasons of safety and comfort the skipper has the responsibility of taking final decisions on destinations, based on conditions at the time. The decision of the skipper or in his absence his delegated representative will be final. All matters arising from voyages shall be subject to English law and jurisdiction.

Insurance

It is advisable to have your own insurance to cover against cancellation, loss of personal effects, personal injury, medical expenses etc. Please ensure that the policy you choose includes cover for sailing outside UK territorial waters (more than 12 nautical miles offshore). In case of medical treatment required abroad please ensure that you have a European Health Certificate (EHIC) for voyages that may involve ports outside the United Kingdom. The EHIC replaces E111.

Payments and Deposits

A deposit of 10% (£50 minimum) of the total holiday is payable on booking. The remainder is due 2 months prior to your holiday start date and should be paid against our invoice which will be sent to you by email. This is a secure PayPal format which you may settle by debit/credit card at no extra cost to you.
