Payment Options and Privacy Policy
XO Yacht club wants to make all of our clients happy and satisfied. We will try to accommodate all requests subject to availability. Our team will work with our clients to find the best solution to any requests. To make a reservation, XO Yacht Club will need a signed contract and a payment.
A 30% down payment is required to reserve a charter with the final balance due 7 days prior to your charter date. Once the down payment and signed completed contract are received, then the vessel is reserved. If the remaining balance is not paid on the due date of the contract, then the down payment will be forfeited and the vessel will be put back on the market and the reservation will be cancelled.
100% of the charter rate is due and payable at the time of signed contract. The vessel is not reserved until full payment and signed completed contract are received
The payment can be made by credit card, bank transfer, PayPal, Zelle, or cash. 30% prepay of the total amount, but not less than 500$ is to be paid during the reservation. The payment of the remaining part is due 7 days prior the charter. If the reservation has been made less than 7 days prior the charter, it must be fully paid for at once․ If the payment is made by cash, then a credit card will be needed on the day of departure for any incidentals incurred (extra time, fuel, cleaning, damaged property, etc.).
In case of making an amendment, the client is obligated to reimburse the expenses incurred. If an amendment is made up to 15 days before the start of the charter, then there are no penalties. If an amendment is made 15 days or less before the start of the charter, then the client is required to reimburse the expense. The parties may be released from liability in case of occurrence of Force Majeure.
In case of a cancellation, the client is obligated to reimburse the expenses incurred. If a cancellation is made more than 15 days before the start of the charter, then the deposit is fully refundable. If a cancellation is made less than 15 days prior the start of the charter, then the deposit is not refundable.
When full amount was paid and if CHARTERER must cancel less than 7 (seven) days prior to charter, all monies will be forfeited and the CHARTERER will remain responsible for full charter expenses including all applicable taxes and fees. If the OWNER must cancel, the payment shall be refunded in full by OWNER to CHARTERER.
It is further agreed that, in such event, the Owner shall pay the broker the full commission on the full charter amount.
We require 20% but no less than 500 $ security deposit. We file a credit card for all charters even if you pay by cash, PayPal, Zelle or bank transfer. We do not charge a security deposit but put on hold from credit card. We do not store card information. The credit card along with ID must be on file prior to the departure. In case of unforeseen expenses or damages to property by the CHARTERER, the amount will be deducted from security deposit.
The Charterer assumes all responsibility for any injury, death or property that may be the fault of, or occasioned by the negligence of the Charterer, his guests or servants. The Charterer hereby assumes complete possession and operational control of the vessel and assumes the rights and liabilities of ownership for the vessel during the charter period. The Owner of the yacht accept no responsibility or liability for accidents, injuries or death due to swimming, snorkeling, or any other water sports equipment including, but not limited to, kayaks, wave runners (jet skis), tubes or knee boards – whether or not it is supplied by the Owner, Broker, Agent, or Charterer. Charterer agrees to limit the total number of passengers on board the vessel to the maximum number of twelve as per the USCG regulations (some vessels accommodate less and this will be stipulated on the contract.) Charterer assumes full responsibility for any possessions brought onboard, whether owned, borrowed, leased or rented; knowingly or unknowingly (including drugs brought on by charterer’s invited guests.) Furthermore, Charterer assumes full responsibility to assure that all possessions are taken off of the vessel at disembarkation. The Owner and/or Agent assumes no responsibility for any possessions brought on the vessel or left onboard by the Charterer or Charterer’s Guests. The Charterer further agrees to indemnify and save the Owner and/or Agent harmless from any and all liabilities for loss, damage, accident, or injury to himself or third persons, occasioned by the negligence of the Charterer or those employed by charterer.
In the event of damage related to abuse or mistreatment of vessel, damage expenses may be billed to the Charterer’s credit card when applicable. Charterer will be offered a pre-inspection at the beginning of the charter and a post-inspection of the vessel prior to disembarkation.
If the vessel owner permits smoking onboard, smoking is only permitted in the vessel cockpit. There will be no smoking below decks. No Hookahs allowed on any boat.
We require a credit card (Debit cards are no longer acceptable) on file for all charters, even if you pay by cash, PayPal, Zalle, or wire transfer.
