Service Provision Terms

4.1. The Company provides the Client with marine charter services, which include:

  • Provision of an equipped yacht that meets safety standards;
  • Services of a professional skipper who is a Company representative;
  • Organization of marine excursion according to a pre-agreed route (with possible changes due to weather conditions);
  • Opportunity for recreation, swimming, informal leisure within established norms and under skipper supervision.

During the marine excursion, passengers are provided with the opportunity for:

  • free stay on the open deck;
  • sunbathing in safe conditions;
  • swimming in the open sea exclusively with captain's permission and only in specially designated safe places, within visual control from the yacht;
  • use of recreational equipment (e.g., SUP boards, inflatable toys, etc.) when available and when following usage rules;
  • informal leisure on board (music, light snacks, photography, etc.), if it does not violate public order norms and does not create inconvenience for other guests or crew.

All guest activities related to moving on deck, swimming, using equipment or jumping overboard are carried out exclusively with skipper permission and under his control. In case of unsafe behavior or non-compliance with instructions, the skipper has the right to stop this activity or prematurely end the excursion without payment refund.

The skipper has the right to restrict any passenger activities, including swimming, equipment use, loud music or alcohol consumption, if they create a safety threat, disturb other guests' comfort or contradict maritime law norms.

Marina arrival time and sea departure

Our yacht is based at Real Club Nàutic de Barcelona marina. Departure from the marina is carried out strictly at established hours regulated by the port's internal rules.

Clients must arrive on board the yacht no later than 20 minutes before the scheduled sea departure time. The specified time is necessary for mandatory preparatory procedures, ensuring timely vessel departure and preventing delays that could affect the tour.

Tour start time is determined by the moment the yacht leaves the marina, not the client's arrival time.

In case of delay and client arrival at the marina at Reial Club Nàutic de Barcelona, Moll d'Espanya, s/n, Ciutat Vella, 08039 Barcelona later than 20 minutes before the planned sea departure time, the client loses the right to participate in the tour. The service in this case is considered provided, and the paid amount is not subject to refund or credit towards future services.

Such measures are necessary because delay of one participant can lead to disruption of the vessel's departure at the established time and violation of the tour program for other clients.

  • restrict guest access to certain parts of the vessel if necessary for safety compliance or current navigation task;
  • prohibit swimming or equipment use (SUP boards, music equipment, drones, etc.) if it creates a threat or is accompanied by inappropriate handling;
  • take emergency measures, including calling coast guard, police or medical services if the situation on board requires urgent third-party intervention;
  • remove from sailing an individual passenger or the entire group in case of data falsification (e.g., exceeding passenger limit, concealing health condition, bringing prohibited substances on board, etc.).
