Last updated: March 2026
These Terms and Conditions govern all yacht charter services provided by VELORA YACHTING SL (NIF: B26749440), registered at Calle Padre Luis García Cerezo, Num 6, 29680 Estepona, Málaga, Spain. By booking a charter with Velora Yachting, the Charterer agrees to these terms in full.
─────────────────────────────
1. CHARTER ROUTE & CONDITIONS
─────────────────────────────
The exact charter route is confirmed on the day of the charter by the Captain at the point of boarding. The route may be adjusted at the Captain’s discretion based on weather and sea conditions.
A refund of the charter fee will only be issued in the event of:
— Adverse weather conditions confirmed by the Captain as unsafe for sailing
— Mechanical failure of the vessel
Early return to port at the request of the Charterer or any member of the charter party does not entitle the Charterer to a full or partial refund. If the Charterer is informed that sea conditions are uncomfortable (strong winds, large waves) and chooses to proceed, no refund will be issued upon early return.
─────────────────────────────
2. CHARTERER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
─────────────────────────────
2.1 Children
The Charterer accepts full responsibility for the behaviour and safety of any children brought on board. No crew member bears responsibility for children’s behaviour or entertainment.
2.2 Water Toys
The Charterer understands that water toys (jet ski, inflatable pool, SeaBob, crazy sofa, wakeboard, electric surfboard, paddle surf, donut, snorkel equipment) are included as part of the charter but are subject to safe weather and sea conditions. If conditions do not permit safe use of water toys, the charter fee remains unchanged. The Captain determines when water toys may be used and when they must be withdrawn. The inflatable pool is available on 8-hour charters only.
2.3 General Conduct
The Charterer accepts full responsibility for the conduct of all persons in their party. All guests must follow the instructions of the Captain and crew at all times. Shoes must be removed before boarding and stored in the designated area. Animals may only be brought on board with prior written consent from Velora Yachting.
