How the money works €50 reserve · 50% on viability · balance at 60 days
You pay €50 now to reserve your cabin. It's refundable in full until the trip reaches viability (3 of 4 cabins reserved).
When viability hits, we charge the 50% deposit and lock the boat within 72 hours. The balance is collected 60 days before sailing.
If the trip doesn't reach viability by 90 days before the start date, your €50 is refunded automatically.
Cancellation policy Reservation refundable until trip confirms · trip insurance recommended after
Before viability: full refund, no admin fee.
After viability: deposits and balances become non-refundable. Strongly recommend trip insurance — we partner with a broker; you'll see the option at checkout. If a replacement guest is found within 7 days of your cancellation, you get a refund less a €25 admin fee.
