Common questions
What is the difference between instant book and request to book?
Instant-book yachts are confirmed as soon as payment succeeds. Request-to-book yachts need the operator's approval first. They reply within 24 hours and your card is only charged if they accept.
Is the price I see the price I pay?
The quote shows everything paid through Serenus. Costs settled locally, such as fuel or marina fees, are listed separately on every yacht so there are no surprises.
Do I need a licence?
Only for bareboat charters, where you skipper the yacht yourself. Skippered and crewed charters need no qualifications.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If the captain cancels for safety, you can move to another date or receive a refund under the weather policy.
