Reparation costs that exceed safety deposit are covered by the insurance company. In the case of negligence or some not reported damage, the customer covers all the expenses.

7. CHECKING IN/OUT OF THE YACHT

The same condition of the yachts is requested when returned to the Marina Yachting Dalmatia d.o.o.. Any hidden defects of the yacht or its equipment, not known to the Marina Yachting Dalmatia d.o.o. at the time when handing over the yacht, as well as any defects that occur after the yacht has been handed over to the customer, give no right for a request to lower the rental fee. If the further sailing is not possible for any reason, or the date of the return of the yacht will be exceeded, the manager of the base must be informed immediately for further instructions. If the date of return is exceeded because of bad weather, the customer himself covers any arising expenses. For this reason we suggest a good forward planning of the sailing route. The customer must hand over the yacht at the port indicated in the contract at the agreed time. If the customer is delayed returning the yacht or brings it to another place which is not agreed, the customer agrees and guarantees to pay for every delay up to 3 hours the price of a daily charter and for every delay of more than 3 hours the triple price of a daily charter fee. The delay may be tolerated only due to the reasons of Act of God, about which the customer has to inform the Marina Yachting Dalmatia d.o.o. immediately.
