The charter price is agreed upon at the time of booking.
A booking deposit is to be paid upon provisional booking to secure the charter dates.
A security deposit is to be paid on the charter day upon delivery of the RHIB. This covers fuel charges on return and any damages. The charterer is fully reimbursed for the remaining amount after refueling, provided the RHIB is returned in good condition.
In the event of damages, the cost shall be deducted from the security deposit. If damages exceed the deposit, the charterer shall pay the difference. In the case of excessive damage or total loss, an insurance claim will be issued by both parties.
Exceeding the charter duration incurs an extra charge of €50 per hour. If overtime exceeds 2 hours, a fee of €150 per hour applies.
The charterer is entitled to a full deposit refund if the booking is cancelled at least 72 hours before the charter start. Cancellations within 72 hours may result in the deposit being withheld.
In the event of a delayed collection, the RHIB will remain available until the agreed end time without price amendments. If the charterer does not show up without prior notice, full payment shall apply.
The charterer is not entitled to a refund for early return of the RHIB.
In the event of bad weather preventing the charter, the deposit is withheld and a new reservation will be made.
The RHIB is provided with a full fuel tank. If fuel runs out and assistance is required, an additional charge applies.
All charters are subject to weather-permitting conditions. If cancelled by the owner due to weather, the deposit is withheld and a new date is agreed, or the deposit is refunded at the owner's discretion.
