Vessel dropoff

RETURN OF THE VESSEL (CHECK-OUT)

The Client takes out his own waste and disposes it at the designated place in the marina. The Client is obliged to return the vessel in good condition (take out the rubbish, wash the dishes). The damage compensation will be executed in case of filthiness of the vessel (negligence to the property) and failure to comply with the house rules.

If during the charter period, sailing for any reason is not possible and/or a delay in return of the vessel is inevitable, the Client must inform the base manager and AC, requesting further instructions. Unfavorable weather conditions cannot justify delays to the agreed return of the vessel.

In the event of the eventual delay, not caused because of the technical defects on the vessel, the Client can be charged, as well as for the collateral damage caused by delay.

In the event the return of the vessel is made in other port and not the one agreed as the destination port, the Client is liable for the cost of transferring the vessel to the agreed destination port, a penalty charge for the delayed return, if there is one, and any damage that may have resulted from the transfer and which is not covered by the vessel's insurance and the damage possibly occurred during the transfer of the vessel.

AC, i.e., the authorized base is entitled to charge all the costs arising from delay or transfer of the vessel primarily from the security deposit. If the costs exceed the amount of security deposit the Client is obliged to pay the amount missing between the amount of the paid security deposit and the amount of the actual cost.

The Client is obliged to notify the AC representative of any defects or damage. If the damage is beneath the waterline or is assumed to be beneath the waterline of the vessel, it is necessary to inspect the vessel in detail, either by the intervention of professional divers or using a vessel crane.  The AC representative decides on the manner of the inspection and the Client is charged for the associated costs.

 The Client agrees and declares:

• to send the complete crew list, with the full name, address, date and place of birth, citizenship, and the type and number of valid identification document, and for the skipper a currently valid skipper license, to AC no later than one week prior to the start date of the charter period.
• to be in possession of valid travel documents. The Client bears any costs relating to loss or theft of documents during the period of the charter.

• to sail in a safe, responsible manner, and never under the influence of alcohol or narcotics as well as to handle all gear and equipment with due care and attention.
• To use of the plotter only serves as a navigation aid. Basically, the navigation must be made using the nautical maps on board. This is also the current case law in most countries. Misconduct may have liability consequences for the responsible skipper.
• To sail only within the Territorial waters of Croatia. Sailing outside the Territorial waters of Croatia is permitted only if a signed permit is obtained from AC as well as other necessary and related documents.
• to sail only in safe weather conditions and good visibility, avoiding any dangerous areas.
• From a wind speed with announced peak gusts of more than 25 knots, the instructions of the base management must be followed, whether they allow the sailing or instruct the Client to seek a safe anchorage.

• to adjust sailing to the weather conditions and the ability of the crew.
• Not to leave port or anchorage if the vessel or its equipment essential to the safety of navigation is not functional.
• To return the Yacht with full tank. Reserve fuel canisters and reserve canisters for the outboard engine are handed over empty and do not need to be returned filled in. After the functional check of the sewage tank at check-in, no complaints for clogged sewage tanks will be accepted during the charter or at check-out.
• to never leave port if port authorities have imposed a prohibition of sailing, i.e., have placed a ban on departure or in case of insufficient fuel supplies.
• to limit the number of people on board to not more than the designated number for that type of the vessel, as well as to ensure only people on the crew list are allowed on board.
• Not to participate in regattas or races without first acquiring a written permit from AC.
• Not to tow another vessel and to undertake all necessary measures to avoid a situation in which a chartered vessel is to be towed.
• to agree to terminate the Charter Contract if any member of the crew or passenger violated applicable law and/or regulations of the Republic of Croatia; AC takes over the authority over the vessel and the Client remains without right to any compensation. AC will not be liable for any violation of the law or regulations committed by the Client or any person on board and the Client assumes full responsibility.
• to accept financial responsibility for any liability AC may have towards third parties and which is due to the Client’s, or the charter party’s negligence or omission.

AC is obliged to repair the defect within 24 hours from the receipt of the notification. In case AC repairs the defect within that deadline, the Client has no right to compensation. Emergency telephone numbers for defect notification can be found in the vessel documentation.
