Welcome to Monferado Yacht Rentals. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of our yacht charter services and constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Guest" or "Charterer") and Monferado Yacht Rentals ("Company," "we," "us," or "our").
For the purposes of these Terms:
All bookings must be made through our authorized representatives or official website. A booking is considered confirmed only upon receipt of the required deposit and our written confirmation.
The primary charterer must be at least 21 years of age and provide valid government-issued identification.
You agree to provide accurate and complete information during the booking process, including but not limited to guest count, special requirements, and contact details.
A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total charter fee is required to secure your booking. The deposit must be paid within 48 hours of booking confirmation.
The remaining balance is due 14 days prior to the charter start date. Charters will not commence without full payment.
The following costs are not included in the base charter fee and will be charged separately:
If weather conditions are deemed unsafe by our captain, the charter may be cancelled or rescheduled at no charge to the guest. We will make every effort to reschedule within a reasonable timeframe.
In the rare event we must cancel due to mechanical issues or other circumstances beyond our control, a full refund will be provided.
Charters begin and end at the times specified in your booking confirmation. Late arrivals will not extend the charter end time unless previously arranged and paid for.
Maximum guest capacity must not be exceeded under any circumstances. This limit is set by Transport Canada regulations and vessel safety requirements.
The vessel will operate within designated coastal waters as determined by the captain based on weather, safety, and regulatory considerations.
Guests must conduct themselves in a respectful manner toward crew, other guests, and the marine environment. Disruptive behavior may result in charter termination without refund.
All guests must comply with safety briefings, wear provided safety equipment when required, and follow crew instructions at all times.
The following items are prohibited aboard our vessels:

All vessels carry safety equipment exceeding Transport Canada requirements, including life jackets, emergency flares, first aid supplies, and communication equipment.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Monferado's liability is limited to the total amount paid for the charter. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
