Your safety and enjoyment are our top priorities. If unfavorable weather conditions prevent your boat trip from taking place, we recommend rescheduling your booking for another day. We'll be happy to help you coordinate a new date with the boat owner that suits everyone's schedule.

In the event that rescheduling isn't possible, you'll receive a full refund for your booking, with the exception of the Rent Boat Cyprus commission and service fee. These fees cover the costs associated with processing your booking and ensuring a smooth rental experience.

We understand that unexpected weather can be disappointing, and we appreciate your understanding and flexibility.

Fueling practices vary among boat owners listed on Rent Boat Cyprus. Some owners include fuel in their charter price, while others prefer to charge for fuel separately based on usage. This allows for greater flexibility and transparency, ensuring you only pay for the fuel you consume.

Rest assured, each boat owner is required to clearly specify their fuel policy on their listing.

If you have any questions about the fuel policy for this boat, or any other, please don't hesitate to contact us or the boat owner directly for clarification. We want to ensure you have a clear understanding of all costs involved before confirming your booking.

Your safety at sea is important to us. All boats listed on Rent Boat Cyprus are insured by their respective owners, not by Rent Boat Cyprus directly. This means the boat owner is responsible for providing adequate insurance coverage for the vessel.

What this means for you:

• Boat Owner's Insurance: Each boat owner is required to have insurance that covers a range of potential issues, including damage to the boat and third-party liability.
• Renting without a Skipper: If you choose to rent a boat without a skipper and damage occurs, the boat owner's insurance will typically cover a portion of the repair costs. However, you may be responsible for an excess amount, which can be deducted from your security deposit.
• Direct Communication: We encourage you to discuss insurance details directly with the boat owner before your trip. This is a good opportunity to ask about coverage limits, excess amounts, and any optional extras like personal accident insurance or assistance coverage.
• Out-of-Court Settlements: In most cases, incidents involving damage are resolved amicably between the renter and the boat owner.

Important Note: Rent Boat Cyprus acts as a platform connecting renters and boat owners. While we strive to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all users, we do not assume responsibility for insurance claims or disputes arising between renters and boat owners.

Boat (rent without a skipper) owners are responsible for maintaining their vessels in good working order. However, mechanical issues can sometimes occur unexpectedly. If you experience a breakdown at sea, contact the boat owner immediately. They should provide assistance, which might include arranging for repairs, towing, or a replacement vessel.

Important: Before your trip, discuss emergency procedures with the boat owner, including contact information and what to do in case of a breakdown. It's also wise to familiarize yourself with basic boat safety and troubleshooting.

1. What are the required documents to rent a boat?

This will vary depending on whether you're renting a bareboat (without a skipper) or a crewed vessel.

• Bareboat Charters: Generally, you'll need a valid boating license or certificate recognized in Cyprus. You may also need to provide proof of identity (passport) and a security deposit. It's best to confirm the specific requirements with the boat owner before your charter.
• Crewed Charters: For boats with a skipper, you typically won't need a boating license. However, you'll still need to provide identification and potentially a security deposit.

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. If you need to cancel your booking due to a personal emergency, please contact us and the boat owner as soon as possible. While our standard cancellation policy applies (as outlined in the [link to your cancellation policy]), we will work with you and the boat owner to find the best possible solution. This may include rescheduling your trip for a later date, or exploring options for a partial refund, depending on the circumstances and the boat owner's policy.

• Direct messaging: "Once you've made a booking, you can contact the boat owner directly through our platform's messaging system."
• Contact details provided: "The boat owner's contact information (phone number and/or email address) will be provided in your booking confirmation."

We encourage open communication between renters and boat owners to ensure a smooth and enjoyable rental experience.

The rental price typically includes the use of the boat and its standard equipment for the specified duration. This may include things like life jackets, basic safety gear, and navigational equipment. However, extras like water sports equipment (skis, wakeboards, etc.), snorkeling gear, or fishing equipment may be available for an additional fee.

While you'll have the freedom to explore the beautiful waters around Cyprus, there might be some navigational restrictions depending on the boat and the rental agreement.

These restrictions could include:

• Distance from shore: Some boats may have limits on how far they can venture from the coastline.
• Specific areas: Certain areas may be off-limits due to marine protected zones, shipping lanes, or other safety considerations.

Be sure to discuss any navigational limits with the boat owner before your trip to avoid any issues and ensure you have a clear understanding of where you can safely cruise.
