CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

All yacht charter reservations made through BodrumYachtLife are subject to the following rules, in accordance with maritime customs and international charter standards. By confirming the reservation, these terms are deemed accepted by the charterer. <\/p>

1. Adverse Weather and Force Majeure<\/span><\/h5>

\u2022 Navigation Safety: Should the Port Authority impose a sailing ban (Port Embargo) on the day of the cruise due to adverse weather or safety concerns, the tour will be postponed to an alternative date by mutual agreement.<\/p>

\u2022 Refund Policy: If a suitable alternative date cannot be arranged, the payment made will be refunded in full. Light rain or wind (conditions not warranting a sailing ban) cannot be cited as a reason for cancellation. <\/p>

2. Yacht-Related Technical Issues<\/span><\/h5>

\u2022 Substitute Yacht: In the event of a technical malfunction on the yacht on the day of the tour that prevents its operation, our company is obliged to provide a substitute yacht of equivalent standards.<\/p>

\u2022 Refund: If a substitute yacht cannot be provided, all payments made by the client will be refunded at 100%.<\/p>

3. Cancellations Made by the Client (Charter Standard)<\/span><\/h5>

For yacht charter bookings, as the yacht is reserved and unavailable for other requests during those dates, the following tiered cancellation policy applies:<\/p>

\u2022 60 Days or More Before the Tour Date: 20% of the total charter fee will be deducted as a service\/operational charge, and the remaining amount will be refunded.<\/p>

\u2022 Between 30 and 60 Days: 50% of the total reservation fee will be deducted as a penalty.<\/p>

\u2022 Less Than 30 Days: No refund or date change will be made. 100% of the total amount will be charged as a cancellation penalty (No-Show). <\/p>

4. Cancellations of Additional Services and Provisions<\/span><\/h5>

\u2022 For cancellations made less than 48 hours before the tour date, the costs of special provisions, food, beverages, and extra services (e.g., organization, decoration) ordered in advance at the client’s request are non-refundable.<\/p>

5. Captain’s Authority and Responsibilities<\/span><\/h5>

\u2022 The Captain has the authority to change the route or terminate the tour if they perceive a risk to maritime safety, life, or property. In such safety-related situations, no refund can be claimed. <\/p>

\u2022 Should the yacht’s capacity be exceeded, the Captain has the authority to refuse to commence the tour, and this will be considered a client error.<\/p>

6. Refund Process<\/span><\/h5>

\u2022 Approved refund amounts will be processed within [7-14] business days from the cancellation notification, via the original payment channel (Credit Card\/EFT) used by the client.<\/p>

Why Are Charter Cancellation Policies Applied?<\/h5>

The yacht charter industry, unlike standard service sectors, requires high operational costs and extensive logistical preparations. The reasons for implementing these rules are as follows: <\/p>

\u2022 Loss of Reservation: When a yacht is reserved, all other inquiries for those dates are declined. In the event of last-minute cancellations, it is extremely difficult to re-book the yacht and recover the financial loss within the maritime calendar. <\/p>

\u2022 Operational Preparations: Personnel planning, port logistics, and technical preparations commence days before the tour date. These processes incur irreversible costs for our company. <\/p>

\u2022 Service Quality: The established cancellation policies are designed in accordance with international maritime standards to ensure we can provide you and our other guests with the highest quality, comprehensive, and well-planned service.<\/p>
