EACH TIME YOU CRUISEFor each holiday you book, we will charge you a small turnaround fee that covers the cost of boat preparation, cleaning, full water tank, linen, shore power (in our bases) and technical assistance during your trip.You will also be required to leave a security deposit at the base, although most owners take out our annual owner insurance instead which covers you for the whole boating season. You also will be charged for the fuel and gas you use while cruising by way of an ‘engine-hours’ fee. This is calculated and payable upon your return to the base at a special ‘owner rate’.
FAMILY USAGE AND GUESTS Your immediate family can use your owner weeks and points at any time, without restriction. In addition you can give (or privately sell) up to 2 weeks of your cruising points a year, to any person you choose, but only in the off-peak season. So you can give the gift of cruising!.
UPGRADE YOUR BOAT Throughout the programme, you may use your points to book holidays on any of our boat models of varying sizes and capacities. If the booking is made in advance (with advanced points), you just pay the difference between the charter price of the boat you own and the one you want to hire. If it’s a last-minute booking (made 14 days before departure), the upgrade is free - a fantastic opportunity to try our bigger models at no extra charge! cost
HOLIDAY EXTRASWe offer a range of optional holiday extras to make your time on the water more relaxing, comfortable and fun. These include bike hire, car transfers between bases, groceries and more. These are all bookable in advance and subject to an additional cost. However, as an owner, you won’t have to pay extra for end-of-cruise boat cleaning and our pet cleaning supplement, so feel free to bring along your furry friend(s) at no extra cost.
