Procedures and Conditions

Chartering a gulet or a motorsailer is very much the same as chartering a crewed yacht. The charterer does not take responsibility for the yacht or her crew. He is welcomed on board, much like a hotel guest.

East Mediterranean Terms
Most gulet and motorsailers charters tend to include more than the average crewed yacht charter. They are said to follow the East Mediterranean Terms.
Following those terms, charter prices include the rental of the yacht, the yacht's insurances , the crew wages & service, the fuel for (an average of) four hours per day, the transit log (complete passengers' list delivered to harbour master), harbour fees and taxes, yacht's laundry and use of eventual dinghy, kayak and windsurfing board and the VAT .

Under those same terms, food & beverages, use of the water ski & mobile telephones if applicable, international port charges if applicable and marina fees are not included.

All together with the written agreement and the passengers' list, the charterer is asked to fill in a preference list. This allows the crew to be prepared to the specific requests and expectations the charterer might have (food and drink preferences, illnesses or allergies, specific interests, .).

Upon embarkation, the charterer will be charged extra for (part of) the food provisioning that was already bought. At the end of the cruise, a detailed expense sheet is provided by the captain to the charterer, who will be asked to settle the account before leaving the board.

There might be some small variations in the charter agreement of each gulet or motorsailer. We will draw your attention on any of those.

West Mediterranean Terms
Some motorsailers of a higher category, did adopt the West Mediterranean Terms , as defined by the Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association. These are called the MYBA terms and are extensively commented in our pages on prices and conditions of crewed yachts .

In a few words, under the MYBA terms, the charter prices include the rental of the yacht, the yacht's insurances, the crew wages & service and the VAT. The charterer will be charged extra, at cost to the yacht, for all other expenses. An advance provisioning allowance (APA) of 15 to 20% of the charter fee is to be sent by the charterer to the operator or captain of the yacht, in order to cover the first costs of preparing the yacht for welcoming the charterer.

Insurances

A cancellation insurance covers the loss of Charter Fee if a charter has to be cancelled by the charterer for genuine reasons. We will always include a quotation in our offer and we highly recommend that our charter clients consider subscribing to such an insurance.

A personal insurance (of the type of Europ Assistance) is also essential, whenever one travels abroad. You should inquire with your insurance broker for this matter.
