FAQ
What is the most straightforward way to book a yacht?
To make a reservation for a yacht, you can send an inquiry by going to the yacht's profile page, selecting the dates, and clicking on "send inquiry."

The balance payment (60% of the total cost) must be paid no later than 9 weeks before the arrival. You can find detailed booking and payment terms on our website.
