Paying

Payment can only be made by credit card via our web page or bank transfer (our bank account details we will send you in invoice).

In order to confirm the reservation of the boat, the client is obliged to pay 50% of the total charter price (1st instalment). The remaining amount (2nd instalment) has to be settled at least 30 days before the beginning of the charter.

For credit card payments you can use the following:

verified by visa
mastercard securecode
ax guarenteed

All payments made by Visa, Meastro and MasterCard through the payment getaway WSpay will be effected in Croatian currency. The amount your credit card account will be charged for is obtained through the conversion of the price in Euro into Croatian kuna according to the current exchange rate. When charging your credit card, the same amount is converted into your local currency according to the exchange rate of credit card associations. As a result of this conversion there is a possibility of a slight difference from the original price stated in our web site.

Cancellation policy

In case the client decides to cancel the booked boat, he has to do it in writing.

The date when YachtHoliday has received the written cancellation notification constitutes a basis for settling up cancellation fees. It is done in the following way:

  • For cancellation up to 1 month before the beginning of the charter, the amount of the 1st instalment (which the client paid) is charged.
  • 100% of the charter price is charged for cancellation within the last month before the beginning of the charter.

In case the client who cancelled the booked boat manages to find a replacement (only if previously agreed with the lessor), that person takes over his/her reservation as well as his/her rights and obligations. In that case the client is charged only for the costs that were the result of a replacement.

Money refund is done immediately upon the determining the exact amount that should be refunded to the client. The payment is done only through the bank transfer on client's account. The costs of money transfer abroad arecovered by the client.
