Planning a yacht charter in Marbella for 2052? Understanding the cancellation policy is key to booking with confidence. Our policy is straightforward: free rescheduling up to 14 days, full refunds (minus a small admin fee) if you cancel early, and clear rules for last-minute changes. Here’s everything you need to know before you set sail from Puerto Banús.
Our 2052 Cancellation Policy at a Glance
We’ve designed our policy to be fair and transparent. No hidden fees, no fine print surprises. Below is the full breakdown:
| Timing of cancellation | Refund amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 14+ days before charter | Full refund minus €150 admin fee | Reschedule free |
| 7–13 days before charter | 50% refund | Reschedule with €150 fee |
| 0–6 days before charter | No refund | Credit note (12 months) offered |
| No-show | No refund | Credit note not offered |
All cancellations must be confirmed in writing via email or WhatsApp. The policy applies to all boats in our fleet, from the Azimut 39 to the Mangusta 80.
Deposits and Payment Schedule
For 2052, we require a 30% deposit to secure your booking. For Tier A boats (Astondoa 40, Azimut 39), the deposit is based on the total 8-hour rate (€2,299) if you book a full day. For Tier B (Mangusta 80), the deposit is 50% of the €4,719 minimum. The balance is due 72 hours before departure. If you cancel after paying the balance, the refund rules above apply.
Weather and Force Majeure
Marbella enjoys 320 sunny days a year, but the Mediterranean can be unpredictable. If we cancel your charter due to unsafe conditions (e.g., winds above 25 knots, thunderstorms), you get a full refund or free rescheduling. This is our risk, not yours. We’ll inform you at least 24 hours in advance whenever possible.
Rescheduling Your Charter
Life happens. If you need to move your charter to a later date in 2052, you can do so free of charge up to 14 days before. Between 7 and 13 days, a €150 fee applies. Within 6 days, rescheduling isn’t possible—but you can use the credit note for a future booking. Rescheduling is subject to availability, so early notice is best.
Special Cases: Illness, Emergencies, and More
We’re human, and we understand that unforeseen events occur. If you provide documentation (e.g., medical certificate) within 7 days of cancellation, we may offer a full refund or credit at our discretion. This is not a guarantee, but we aim to be flexible. For group bookings of 10+ guests, please contact us directly for tailored terms.
What’s Included in Every Charter
When you book with us, you get more than just a boat. Every charter includes a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, and safety equipment. Spanish IVA (21%) is always included in the price. This applies to all boats, from the Dubhe (8m) to the Ferretti 94 (29m).
