General charter and rental terms

Note: This is a translation for information purposes only. Only the Croatian version of these terms is legally binding.

1. Included and excluded services

• Included in the rental price: Use of the booked boat, boat insurance, the fixed berth in Krk harbour (Dunat), the mandatory safety equipment and final cleaning at handover.
• Not included: Fuel costs (the boat is handed over with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank) and harbour fees in other harbours.

2. Responsibility and operation of the boat

• The hirer/charterer confirms that he or the designated skipper holds the official licences, permits and nautical knowledge that are strictly required to operate the boat in Croatian coastal waters.
• Responsibility for safe navigation, compliance with regulations and behaviour on board lies 100% with the hirer.

3. Payment terms

• Deposit: To make a binding reservation of the boat, a deposit of 15 % of the total price must be paid via the online platform (Krk-info.eu).
• Balance: The remaining balance of the rental price is paid directly on site at the boat handover to the official lessor (O.U.U.T. Phoenix). The lessor issues the guest with the total invoice for this.

4. Pick-up, return and late return

• Times: Handover takes place at the times agreed in the contract. The boat must be back in the harbour punctually at the agreed time, but no later than 19:00.
• Fuel & late return: The boat must be returned with a full tank. In the event of late return without prior arrangement, fees for lost time (at least EUR 50) and any fuel costs will be charged.

5. Restrictions on use

• It is strictly prohibited to hand the boat over to third parties or sublet it, to carry an impermissible number of persons or to tow other watercraft (except in absolute emergencies).

6. Technical care and operation

• Suitable footwear (light-coloured soles) must be worn on board, or go barefoot.
• The hirer is obliged to monitor the oil level and engine cooling while under way. Engine damage caused by lack of oil or insufficient cooling is not insured and is borne entirely by the hirer. Technical defects or irregularities must be reported to the lessor immediately.

7. Permitted sailing area

• The boat may only be used within a range of up to 3 nautical miles (3 nm) from the coast and the islands and within Croatian territorial waters. Leaving Croatian territorial waters is expressly prohibited.

8. Security deposit and liability

• Before departure, the security deposit specified in the contract (damage deposit) must be lodged with the lessor.
• In the event of damage to the boat or loss of equipment, the deposit will be retained or used to cover the damage.

9. Unavailability of the boat

• Should the lessor be unable to provide the booked boat (or an equivalent replacement boat) at the agreed time for unforeseen reasons, the deposit paid will be refunded to the customer in full. Further claims are excluded.

10. Upholstery, surfaces and sun protection products

• Damage, stubborn discolouration or stains on the boat upholstery and surfaces demonstrably caused by the use of sun protection products (oil or cream) are deemed to be damage to property. The cleaning or repair costs for this will be deducted directly from the deposit.
