SAILING QUALIFICATIONS No licensing is required by charter clients for skippered or crewed charters. The Charterer must adhere to minimum and maximum crew requirements, ensuring safety and legal compliance. Bareboat charters in Greece mandate that there must be at least one certified sailing yacht skipper and one experienced crew member, both over 18 years old. Licensing requirements for bareboat charters in Greece are summarized to those applicable for offshore, open sea sailing (>12nm) during day & night and any certification must be in English. The skipper should be competent at handling a yacht in confined quarters, anchoring, berthing and mooring in varying conditions and be able to use navigation and pilotage skills to ensure safety of yacht and of all passengers and materials into account, at all times. Sailing at night and anchoring must be executed with caution, ensuring the yacht is securely anchored in safe waters. Continuous surveillance is obligatory. If the license is deemed insufficient or if the skipper's skills are judged inadequate by the Shipowner/manager, vessel documents may be withheld. Additional certifications, such as a VHF license, may also be required. Subject to change without prior notice or responsibility, the minimum requirements for skipper licensing pertain to having at least one of the following: ICC SAIL (International Certificate of Competence) IPC (International Proficiency Certificate), America USA-US Sailing “Bareboat Cruising Course”, ASA “104 Bareboat Cruising Course” or above NauticEd SLC (International Sailing License & Credentials), International Germany - Sportbootführerschein Belgium - Algemeen Stuurbrevet/Brevet de conduite general France – le permis plaisance Other national sailing certificates as well as ASA, The NauticEd SLC, IYT, RYA etc. certifications may be accepted but a sailing experience declaration may be required by the local Port authorities for the skipper or co-skipper. The Charterer agrees to the following: Navigate only within approved areas. Unauthorized entry into forbidden zones incurs penalties and may void insurance coverage. Operate the yacht within their or the designated Skipper's qualifications, adjusting sail area according to wind strength to avoid damage. Obtain Shipowner's/manager’s authorization before bringing on board any sports equipment such as windsurf boards, surfboards, kite surf gear, or canoes, and before engaging in water skiing or similar activities, even with the dinghy. Not use the boat or any teaching activities or practicing, such us sailing lessons, maneuvering, participation in racing. Not tow or be towed by other vessels, except in emergencies or with Shipowner's/manager ‘s consent. Only have animals on board with Shipowner's permission.  Use interior and exterior cleaning materials that won't damage the yacht and will not flush materials or objects down the toilets. Use the yacht lawfully, absolving the Shipowner/manager from liability for any illegal activities conducted on board by the Charterer or crew. Turn off the engine if improper trim impedes cooling system function, check oil levels every 10 engine hours (only adding oil with Shipowner's consent), monitor battery voltage to ensure it stays above 12 volts, and daily check the engine's cooling liquid level with a cold engine.  Not sail if the yacht has essential damage requiring repair for safe navigation, leave the harbor or anchorage without adequate fuel reserves, or smoke below deck.  Follow all operational procedures provided at embarkation, obey Port Authority orders regarding weather and sea conditions (avoiding sailing in seas over force 5 Beaufort or when dangerous conditions are forecasted), and not remove any yacht equipment without Shipowner's approval. The Shipowner/manager reserves the right to mandate a professional skipper if the Charterer’s sailing skills or qualifications are deemed insufficient, ensuring safety and compliance with local regulations. CHARTERER CANCELLATION In any event of cancellation, Shipowner/manager guarantees that in case the yacht is re-let under same conditions (i.e. charter period, price etc.), any payments received will be credited for use on future charter booking. Credit can be used only for future charters embarking no later than October 30th of the following year Cancellation up to 60 days before the charter: Deposit retained, contract can be withdrawn from with no further charges.

SAFETY PROTOCOL AND OPERATOR RIGHTS The Owner and/or the Managing Company reserve the right, at their sole discretion, to subject the Charterer and/or the designated Skipper to a sea trial prior to departure. This trial aims to assess the Skipper’s or Charterer's competence and skill in safely handling the yacht. Should the Owner or Manager, based on reasonable judgment, determine that the individual lacks the required experience or ability, they reserve the right to deny departure for safety reasons. In such a case, the total charter fee shall be refunded minus any administrative, preparatory or other costs incurred. The Owner and/or Managing Company maintain the right to reassign the yacht’s berth or designated marina, at any point before or during the charter, if such change is deemed necessary to facilitate a safer departure, arrival, or berthing. These changes may also be made to improve operational efficiency or comply with port authority instructions, always with the aim of ensuring the safety of persons and the vessel. The Owner and/or Managing Company may board experienced company crew members to assist or perform complex maneuvers (including departure, berthing, or docking), especially when safety may be compromised. Such personnel shall act solely in the interest of the safe operation of the yacht. The Charterer and/or Skipper are obligated to fully comply with the instructions of the Owner, Managing Company, and Port Authorities, particularly concerning departure/arrival times and berthing points. At no time shall they act autonomously or contrary to these instructions in relation to the departure, entrance to port, or docking procedures. If the Charterer or any members of the group repeatedly ignore or delay the instructed boarding or departure time, thereby putting at risk the timely arrival and berthing of the yacht at its designated destination, and after receiving multiple notices with flexibility exercised, the Skipper reserves the right to proceed without those individuals. In such cases, no financial compensation or claim may be made against the company or the Skipper. In the case of a bareboat charter (without a professional company skipper), where the Charterer fails to follow operational instructions, the Owner and/or Managing Company reserves the right to impose a penalty fee proportionate to the severity of the incident caused, or to any third-party fines incurred (e.g., from marina operators, port authorities, or coast guard). YACHT DISABLEMENT OR TOTAL LOSS If a substitute yacht of lower value or quality is provided, the Charterer shall be entitled solely to a partial refund representing the reasonable difference in charter value between the original and the replacement yacht. Such difference shall be calculated exclusively based on the official charter rate list of the Shipowner/Manager at the time of booking and in accordance with the Shipowner’s/Manager’s professional judgment, which shall not be subject to dispute or challenge by the Charterer. No further compensation, cancellation, or claims shall be made by the Charterer under such circumstances, and the Charter Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. In case there is no boat available all amounts collected shall be due for immediate reimbursement, without interest. Alternatively, the charter may be rescheduled by mutual agreement. It is clearly agreed that lacking a substitution vessel does not constitute breach of terms by Shipowner/manager. Shipowner/manager in any such case will make best effort to provide substitution vessel, but neither Shipowner/manager, nor Broker are liable to ensure availability of a substitution vessel nor to indemnify the Charterer for consequential damage (as for example for travel and/ or accommodation costs) incurred by Charterer. For the purpose of clarity, it is expressly stated that a yacht charter is a stand-alone sea service; it is neither a travel package nor a linked-travel arrangement. Shipowner/manager is under no contractual obligation or legal liability, to provide the Charterer with a replacement boat or to pay any compensation in the event of disablement/immobilization or total loss of the yacht during the charter, by reason attributed to Charterer. In the event of damage, breakdown, or accident, the Charterer must promptly inform the Shipowner/manager and may continue sailing only if it doesn't exacerbate the situation, subject to Shipowner's/manager’s approval. Unauthorized repairs are prohibited. If the yacht becomes unusable due to machinery breakdown etc. after the check-in, not caused by the Charterer, Shipowner/manager will provide a credit for future charters for as long as the damage lasted or a pro-rata extension of the current charter. Any payments received will be credited for use on future charter booking. Credit can be used only for future charters embarking no later than October 30th of the following year. Immediate written notice is required for any claims. Notice of disablement cannot be deemed to have been received by Shipowner beyond office hours (09:00 am till 17.00 pm). If due to unforeseen circumstances a safety issue arises, the owner/manager has the right to cancel the charter or recall the yacht. If the problem was not caused by the Charterer, Shipowner/manager will offer a credit towards future charters or a pro rata extension of the current charter. COMPLAINTS & ASSISTANCE If after delivery of the vessel to the charterer we receive complaints about the presence of bugs, mice, cockroaches or any other pest the company will take care to help eliminate them, but cannot be held responsible. Any claim for compensation or change of boat will be rejected as the boat was delivered checked and free of the above. We strongly recommend a thorough inspection of the vessel by the charterer prior to departure and full recording of any observations. Any issue that has not been communicated to the company in writing during the cruise in order to give the company the opportunity to assist and the issue leads to a claim for compensation will be rejected. Charter clients requiring assistance whilst away should inform the Shipowner/manager without undue delay, then he will endeavor to put things right. On condition that the Charterer will cooperate in such efforts, Shipowner/manager will strive to provide help for any technical issue but understandably this may not be feasible in remote locations. In any case that the Charterer fails to either respond to communications or to comply with the instructions provided by Base Manager, the Charterer shall forfeit any right to complaint. Shipowner/manager reserves the right to disregard any complaint which pertains to a condition that could be remedied during the charter and for which Charterer and/ or Skipper have failed to comply with the instructions and requirements of Shipowner/manager or base manager necessary to remedy the cause of complaint. Charterer/Skipper do in such case forfeit any right to claim any compensation due to the complaint. In cases of complaints, notice must be given to Shipowner/manager as soon as possible by written communication specifying the precise nature of the complaint and not after the charter period has ended. Any claim or complaint received after charter period, may be disregarded. SECURITY DEPOSIT Before embarkation, Charterer will deliver at Charter Base a Security Deposit of such amount as listed on pricelist and confirmed by offer statement. The security deposit is only acceptable in cash, credit cards (VISA or MasterCard) or via bank transfer. For bank transfers, Charterers must inform the boat owner of their bank details to enable the refund of the deposit at the end of the charter, contingent on the security deposit being cleared. If the security deposit is paid by card, the transaction fees will be charged to the customer. The Security Deposit is applicable per insured event (damage or loss). Should an incident covered by the Security Deposit occur during the charter, the Charterer must replenish the Security Deposit to the initial amount to continue the charter, having sufficient coverage for any other incident. In any other case, Shipowner/manager retain the right to treat the charter agreement as having been breached by Charterer and end the charter. At the end of charter, such deposit shall be refunded to Charterer, without interest, if not required to be used for any liability, indebtedness, loss, or damage caused because of any breach of booking conditions or because of any damage or loss caused to the yacht or its contents, by the charter clients and skipper. If required to be used for an amount of liability, indebtedness, damage or loss which is less than the Security Deposit, Charterer shall be refunded, as relevant, part of the Security Deposit as soon as reasonably possible after the damage has been repaired or the repair costs have been ascertained or the liability, indebtedness or loss has been settled or ascertained. In the event of any disagreement over liability, damage or loss, Shipowner/manager shall retain the relevant. Security Deposit paid until the dispute is resolved. Retention of the security deposit will not in any way limit or prejudice any claim over and above the sum of the security deposit paid, where the loss or damage was in excess of the security deposit and was either caused by or pertains to illegal actions, or fraudulent behavior, or gross negligence or reckless conduct of Charterer or where under any circumstances the insured under the yacht’s insurance policy will not receive full compensation of loss or damage suffered, due to Charterer’s actions or omissions. The Charterer shall then remain liable for the balance of any such losses or damages incurred over and above the sum of the security deposit by Charterer.  In the case of a skippered bareboat charter, the payment for the skipper will be included as part of the security deposit. The Charterer must ensure the remainder of the deposit is fully covered. For customers protection in such cases Security Deposit Insurance option is available. YACHT INSURANCE All yachts are insured in fulfillment of Port State regulations against all accidental damage including damage to third parties. Insurance does include cover for Yacht Hull, Machinery, and Equipment as well as for Third Party liability.

Except for yacht insurance stated above, no other insurance is included. For the purpose of clarity and without limitation, it is expressly stated that the yacht charter does not include Skipper Liability, Travel, Personal Items, Personal Accident, Trip Cancellation or Trip Curtailment insurance.

The shipowner's liability is further limited by applicable international conventions, ensuring that any compensation aligns with these standards. All implied warranties or conditions not explicitly stated in the charter terms are hereby excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. MEDIATION / ARBITRATION - APPLICABLE LAW • This contract is governed by Greek Law, with the Greek version taking precedence over translations. Parties aboard the vessel are considered agents of the Charterer, with their signatures binding. Brokers serve solely as mediators.
