Yacht charter duration and Price Calculation
Rental is usually calculated on a weekly basis. Seven days, or 1 week, is generally considered the minimum charter period. Reservations are calculated for seven days from Saturday to Saturday. The daily rental fee of the yacht is calculated by dividing the weekly price by seven, and if a rental is more than 7 days, the rental fee is calculated by multiplying the daily rental fee by the number of days. In some yachts, it is possible to rent a yacht for less than 7 days and it is possible to make a few days charter tour during low season periods. The charter period starts in the afternoon of the first day and ends on the morning of the last day. High season rates are valid for the most popular charter periods, July and August. Mid-term is for June and September. Low season rates are valid for May and October.

Boarding is in the afternoon of the first day. The landing time is after breakfast on the eighth day. In private boat rentals, it is up to the guests to spend the first and last night in the harbor or in the bay as an option.
All boats are insured and this insurance also covers third parties. The insurance covers the medical expenses due to the injuries on the boat that may occur during the cruise or the damages that may occur due to the accident. However, the insurance does not cover any damage or loss that may occur outside the boat. For this reason, we recommend that our guests take out an insurance covering travel, health, accident, tour cancellation or loss of baggage and cruise interruption as a precaution against any negativities that may occur outside the boat.
